Ancelotti on Tunisia friendly, Luciano Juba’s possible Brazil debut | OneFootball

After the Brazilian National Team's 2-0 victory over Senegal last Saturday, coach Carlo Ancelotti is preparing for the friendly against Tunisia, this Tuesday, at 4:30 p.m. (Brasília time). According to the Italian coach, the Tunisians have different characteristics from the Senegalese, but Brazil will try to repeat their good performance in London.

“I think Tunisia has different characteristics from Senegal. They are a very organized team, especially in the defensive sector. It’s important to keep the same dynamic as the game against Senegal, and we want to continue along those lines. I think they (Tunisia) will play a more direct game, they have good organization. To win, we have to be at our best level,” said Ancelotti.

Ancelotti also spoke about a possible debut for Luciano Juba, Bahia’s left-back. The Italian coach stated that the player has been training well and will have the opportunity to show his football.

“Luciano has been training very well, he’s showing all his qualities. He’s a very good player with the ball, has excellent positioning. He’ll have the opportunity to make his debut against Tunisia and, consequently, show he has what it takes to be at the World Cup,” said the coach.

After the friendly against Tunisia this Tuesday, the Brazilian National Team will only play again in March, in their last tests before the 2026 World Cup.
