Ancelotti explains why two Flamengo players miss out on Brazil squad | OneFootball

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

Carlo Ancelotti announced the players called up for the upcoming matches of the Brazilian National Team. Despite having included five Flamengo players in the preliminary list, the coach called up only one: Alex Sandro. Therefore, the coach explained the reason for calling 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 the personal and professional profile. I know all the players' technical profiles, but I want to get to know others who can help the National Team do things well. Those players who are not included worked 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 coach chose to call only the left-back for Brazil's upcoming games.
