Coach Carlo Ancelotti witnessed another victory of Fluminense at Maracanã. After watching the triumph over Grêmio in the opening round, the Italian was at the stadium on Thursday to see the classic match against Botafogo, won 1-0, with a goal by Lucho Acosta.

Just like on his first visit, Ancelotti had the opportunity to closely observe midfielder Martinelli, who played a great match in the tricolor's midfield. The player, who has never been called up, has been monitored by the Brazilian national team for a few years and might get an opportunity before the World Cup. Besides Martinelli, Danilo from Botafogo might also have been observed.

Brazil will make its last call-up before the World Cup during the FIFA Date in March, when the national team will face France and Croatia in two friendlies.
