Vanderlei Luxemburgo questioned Carlo Ancelotti’s changes

The Brazil National Team faces Egypt this Saturday (06), in the final test before its World Cup debut against Morocco. However, former Flamengo coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo blasted Carlo Ancelotti’s approach because of the team selection.

Running tests on the eve of the World Cup… something is wrong. We’ve had this coach for quite a while, and the results in the qualifiers haven’t been good. The points tally is the same as Dorival’s, Diniz’s… Tests? There should already be a base lineup — said Vanderlei Luxemburgo, former Flamengo coach.
