Ancelotti outlines Léo Pereira’s part in Brazil selection headache | OneFootball

Ancelotti said newcomers seized their chance in the final international window before the World Cup, leaving Brazil’s final list less settled. Léo Pereira’s display added to the selection headache.

Brazil beat Croatia. According to Coluna Do Fla, the coach used the last FIFA dates to test options and spoke afterwards.

He was pleased that the new faces made the most of their opportunities, noting that Igor Thiago, Léo Pereira, Danilo of Santos, Endrick and Kaiki all impressed. He said the staff will keep evaluating form in European leagues and in the Campeonato Brasileiro.

Based on his recent call-ups, Danilo, Marquinhos and Gabriel Magalhães are assured of places at the World Cup. That leaves one defensive berth to be fought over by Léo Pereira, Léo Ortiz, Bremer, Ibañez and others.

With Ancelotti watching, Flamengo face Red Bull Bragantino on Thursday 02 at 21:30 Brasília time at Estádio Cícero de Souza Marques, in round nine of the Brasileirão.
