🗣️ Ancelotti asks for patience with Endrick: we must wait a bit | OneFootball

Endrick was a topic during the press conference given by Carlo Ancelotti this Thursday (18).

And the Brazil national team coach indicated that the Real Madrid forward is unlikely to start in this Friday’s (19) decisive clash against Haiti.

At first, he avoided confirming what the lineup will be for the match against the Caribbean side.

"No, I’ll tell the team tomorrow (Friday). I don’t think this is the time. That’s all. I have no problem announcing the lineup now. Football has no secrets. But I prefer to tell the players first".

The expectation is that Matheus Cunha and Danilo will start. And, according to ge, there is still a doubt between Paquetá and Danilo Santos.   

Ancelotti then went on to talk about the differences between the players he has available to lead the attack.

With special emphasis on his comment about Endrick.

"Matheus Cunha links up play more, he has more quality as a second striker than as a focal point, which is something Igor Thiago has. He is strong, very aggressive. Endrick is neither one nor the other. Endrick is an extraordinary talent. Brazil will make the most of his qualities at this and the next World Cup. He is patient, not in a hurry, very mature for his age. These are important aspects. His family being close to him is also patient, and those are important aspects".

Asked directly about Endrick, he again called for patience. 

"I’ll bring Endrick in at the right moment. We have to wait a little, he will be important".

Brazil opened with a draw and needs to beat pointless Haiti to put itself in a good position to chase qualification in first or second place.

They will face the Caribbean side from 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. 

And they will already know the result between Scotland (three points) and Morocco (one), who will play earlier in Boston.
