Danilo is one of the most experienced players among those called up to the Brazil National Team for the World Cup. Given that, Ibañez shared some behind-the-scenes details on what it has been like living day to day with the Flamengo defender during this period with the ‘Seleção’.
— There hasn’t been any specific conversation. The Mister is straightforward about what he wants from the group, and that makes things clear. Day to day with Danilo is very good, he makes things very clear, whether playing as a full-back or a center-back. There hasn’t been much conversation with Ancelotti, no —, said Ibañez.
It is important to point out that, besides being one of the most ‘senior’ players, Danilo also appears to be Carlo Ancelotti’s trusted man. Thus, even before the official squad list was announced, the Italian coach confirmed the presence of Flamengo’s number 13 in the Brazil National Team.
