World Cup: Ancelotti picks Flamengo man to replace Wesley for Brazil | OneFootball

Which Flamengo player should play at right back for Brazil?

Wesley left the Brazilian national team camp after suffering a muscle injury. As a result, Ancelotti decided that Danilo, from Flamengo, and Ibañez, from Al Ahli (SAU), will be the players available to play at right back.

According to information from GE, Ancelotti believes that Danilo and Ibañez have more defensive characteristics and play as center backs, featuring in that role for their respective clubs. However, the coach does not see this detail as a problem.

Which other players can also play in the position?

Marquinhos and Fabinho can also play at right back, but Ancelotti is not thinking about using them out of position at the moment. Therefore, Danilo and Ibañez will be the players competing for a spot in the starting lineup in Wesley’s position.

Is Danilo the favorite to take the starting spot?

At the moment, Danilo is the clear favorite to take the starting spot for Brazil. It is no coincidence that the Flamengo player came on after Wesley went off in the friendly against Egypt last Saturday (06), in the United States.

Ancelotti, however, will still have a few more Brazilian National Team training sessions to decide the starter. Brazil faces Morocco this Saturday (13), in the first round of the World Cup group stage. The match will therefore kick off at 7:00 p.m. (Brasília time).
