Brazilian national team coach, Ancelotti, goes to Maracanã to watch the Flamengo x Internacional match for the Libertadores. This is because the experienced Italian is three weeks away from the next Brazilian national team call-up.
Remember that Ancelotti was already present at a Rubro-Negro game at the end of May, also for the Libertadores. Weeks later, five Flamengo players were called up, including Gerson and Wesley, who were recently sold.
This Wednesday, the European coach returned to a press booth reserved by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF). In the space, Ancelotti was accompanied by directors such as Rodrigo Caetano and president Samir Xaud.
The next day, however, Ancelotti stays in Rio de Janeiro to watch Botafogo x LDU, a match in which the coach can witness the work of his son Davide. On Sunday, the father will be in Belo Horizonte to watch Atlético-MG x Grêmio, for the Brazilian Championship.
Besides former Flamengo players Gerson and Wesley, Ancelotti has already called up Léo Ortiz, Danilo, and Alex Sandro. However, nothing prevents the Brazilian national team coach from calling up players like Emerson Royal and Bruno Henrique, who have recently worn the Brazilian national team jersey.
The foreigners mentioned on this Wednesday are Rossi, Gonzalo Plata, Varela, Saúl Ñíguez, Jorge Carrascal, and Matías Viña. However, there is also the Italian-Brazilian Jorginho, who has already played official matches for the Italian national team and, therefore, cannot play for Brazil.
