World Cup: Ancelotti acts on Flamengo’s Léo Pereira before Brazil game | OneFootball

What was Ancelotti’s decision regarding Flamengo center-back Léo Pereira?

Carlo Ancelotti is still testing the players called up to represent the Brazilian National Team at the World Cup. As a result, the Italian coach made a decision regarding Léo Pereira, Flamengo’s center-back.

In Wednesday’s training session (03), Ancelotti began shaping the team he intends to field in the friendly against Egypt. As a result, center-back Léo Pereira ended up losing his spot to Marquinhos.

It is important to point out that Marquinhos is one of the undisputed starters for the ‘Canarinho’. The player missed the friendly against Panama on Sunday (31) because he was playing in the Champions League final between PSG (FRA) and Arsenal (ENG) last Saturday (30).

In addition to Marquinhos, Gabriel Magalhães also earned a place in Brazil’s defensive system. As a result, the PSG and Arsenal players, respectively, took the spots of Léo Pereira and Bremer.

DOES ANCELOTTI PLAN TO MAKE MORE CHANGES TO BRAZIL’S TEAM?

While Léo Pereira drops out of the lineup, Lucas Paquetá has a chance to start in the friendly against Egypt. That is because, in the latest training drill, Ancelotti tested the Flamengo player in Brazil’s midfield.

This Thursday (04), Ancelotti will hold another training session with the players called up to the Brazilian National Team. Therefore, the expectation is that the Italian coach will look for more options to build the ‘Canarinho’ lineup.

WHAT IS BRAZIL’S NEXT MATCH?

With Flamengo’s players available, Brazil takes the field this Saturday (06) against Egypt at 7:00 p.m. (Brasília time) in the United States. As such, Coluna do Fla will cover the details of the match on its website and social media. Finally, Rede Globo (free-to-air TV) and SporTV (pay TV) will broadcast the clash.
