Brazil National Team coach makes the official World Cup squad announcement this Monday afternoon (18)

Carlo Ancelotti watched Flamengo draw 1-1 with Athletico-PR last Sunday (17) at Arena da Baixada. After the match, Leonardo Jardim sent a message to the Brazil National Team coach, who will call up the players for the World Cup this Monday (18).

— The information I can give is that any one of those seven has the quality to represent our National Team. They are players used to high-level competitions, they play in the Libertadores, they are current champions and also champions of the Brazilian Championship. They have a history in their careers. Danilo has already been publicly pre-called up. I believe he could take two or three more of our players, he said.

Which players are on Brazil’s preliminary squad list?

It is worth noting that seven Flamengo players appear on coach Carlo Ancelotti’s preliminary list. They are: Danilo, Alex Sandro, Léo Pereira, Léo Ortiz, Lucas Paquetá, Pedro and Samuel Lino.

In addition, of the seven, four Flamengo players are among the favorites to make the World Cup squad. In short, Ancelotti has already confirmed the call-up of Danilo. Besides the defender, two other players have a strong chance of being called up: Alex Sandro and Lucas Paquetá.

When is Brazil’s squad announcement?

It is important to remember that the official Brazil National Team squad announcement for the World Cup takes place this Monday (18), starting at 5 p.m. (Brasília time). The event will be broadcast live by Rede Globo on free-to-air TV, as well as by SporTV (pay TV channel) and GE TV (YouTube).

Finally, the Brazil National Team is the top seed in World Cup Group C. Meanwhile, Brazil will face Morocco, Scotland and Haiti in the tournament’s group stage. In fact, the Seleção’s debut will be against the Moroccans on June 13.
