World Cup: Ancelotti's plans for Flamengo stars in Brazil today

What is Ancelotti planning for Brazil vs Haiti in the World Cup?

The Brazil National Team takes the field this Friday (19) to face Haiti in the second round of Group C of the World Cup. Kickoff is at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) in Philadelphia, United States. Before the match, Coluna do Fla brings details on how Ancelotti plans to use the Flamengo players in the team.

Carlo Ancelotti has already indicated that he will make changes to Brazil’s starting lineup after the draw with Morocco in their World Cup opener. One of the changes should be Danilo coming in at right back.

In the match against Morocco, Ancelotti chose to start with Ibañez on the right side of defense. However, right after halftime, the Italian coach brought on the number 13, who gave more balance to the back line.

WHAT IS LUCAS PAQUETÁ’S SITUATION FOR BRAZIL VS HAITI?

Lucas Paquetá started in Brazil’s draw with Morocco last Saturday (13). Based on the national team’s latest training sessions, the tendency is for the Flamengo academy product to lose his spot for the match against Haiti.

That should happen because Ancelotti is thinking about changing the Brazil National Team’s tactical setup. Therefore, if confirmed, Lucas Paquetá would make way for Luiz Henrique, who would form the ‘Seleção’ attacking quartet alongside Vini Jr, Raphinha and Igor Thiago.

WHAT ARE LÉO PEREIRA AND ALEX SANDRO’S SITUATIONS FOR BRAZIL VS HAITI?

Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro are still looking for their chance at the 2026 World Cup. In Brazil’s first match, the Flamengo duo remained among the options on the bench. As a result, there is anticipation over whether Ancelotti will give the center back and Flamengo’s left back some minutes against Haiti.

WHAT IS BRAZIL’S PROBABLE LINEUP FOR THE MATCH AGAINST HAITI?

Alisson; Danilo, Marquinhos, Gabriel Magalhães and Douglas Santos; Fabinho and Bruno Guimarães; Luiz Henrique, Raphinha, Vini Jr and Igor Thiago.
