What did Ancelotti do in Brazil’s national team training this Wednesday (10)?

Carlo Ancelotti has been racking his brains to choose the Brazil National Team lineup for their World Cup opener. In training this Wednesday (10), the Italian coach tested Danilo and Alex Sandro in the defensive line of the ‘Seleção’, while Lucas Paquetá is being assessed in midfield.

In this morning’s session, Danilo and Alex Sandro took part in the defensive line at certain moments alongside Marquinhos and Gabriel Magalhães. With that, Ancelotti is giving signs that the Flamengo duo will be among the starting 11.

It is important to point out that, besides Alex Sandro and Danilo, Ibañez and Douglas Santos are also ‘fighting’ for spots at right-back and left-back, respectively. The players mentioned are also expected to be observed again in the next training sessions.

On the morning of this Wednesday (10), the Flamengo academy product formed the midfield with Casemiro and Bruno Guimarães.
