Ancelotti narrows Brazil squad: “A smaller group from March”

Carlo Ancelotti has begun outlining Brazil’s path toward the next Copa America. Speaking about the future of the Seleção, the head coach explained that the work will enter a more selective phase from March, when the group of players called up will become smaller.

“From March we will have a smaller group,” Ancelotti said, pointing to a possible change in how the team is managed. His words reflect the intention to gradually reduce the number of players being monitored and focus work on those considered most ready for the continental tournament. Brazil is therefore already central to the coach’s plans as he looks ahead to the competition.

The issue also concerns Inter because of Carlos Augusto, who has already spoken about the honour of wearing the Seleção shirt. The Nerazzurri wing-back will have to maintain his form to remain on Ancelotti’s radar. Meanwhile, Inter enter the break after a 2-0 win over Como, following a 3-0 victory at Feyenoord and a 3-1 defeat against Milan. Their next fixture is away to Atalanta on Sunday, November 22, at 20:45.
