Ancelotti explains omission of two Flamengo players from Brazil squad | OneFootball

Only Alex Sandro Received a Call-Up from Ancelotti for the Brazilian National Team

Carlo Ancelotti has announced the players called up for the upcoming matches of the Brazilian National Team. Although he included five Flamengo athletes in the preliminary list, the coach selected only one: Alex Sandro. For this reason, the manager explained why he chose to call up only the left-back.

— The list changed a bit with the last call-up. There are nine players who are not on it now, such as Carlos Augusto, Beraldo, Léo Ortiz, Danilo, Andreas Pereira, Gerson, Ederson, Antony, and Vinícius. They are not included because my idea is to get to know new players, he said, before concluding:

— Regarding their personal and professional profiles. As for their technical profiles, I know all the players, but I want to get to know others who can help the National Team do things well. Those players who are not here performed very well in the first call-up, and I want to thank them for that, he said.

Besides Alex Sandro, Ancelotti included Léo Pereira, Léo Ortiz, Danilo, and Samuel Lino in the preliminary list of call-ups for the Brazilian National Team. However, the manager chose to call up only the left-back for Brazil’s upcoming matches.
