After arriving late in Miami due to a severe storm in New Jersey, Brazil National Team technical director Carlo Ancelotti held a press conference at Hard Rock Stadium. The Italian coach analyzed Wednesday’s decisive match against Scotland at the 2026 World Cup and shared important news about his team.
Ancelotti warned about the main qualities of the British team, highlighting their physical strength and strict tactical order within a 4-4-2 scheme. The manager identified the danger of long balls and crosses, pointing specifically to Scott McTominay and John McGinn.
Similarly, he denied having knowledge of the parallel duel between Morocco and Haiti, direct rivals in the group. “We are not going to focus on Morocco, we have to play well and improve on what we did against Haiti,” he said.
The big news for Canarrinha is the medical leave of their top man. After a week of intensive training, Neymar is fully available and will make his senior debut at this World Cup.
Faced with the player’s persistent questions about the ownership of young Andrić, the tactician joked to the press: “Tomorrow Neymar will also return. Who are the people going to push? I think it’s both of them,” he concluded with a laugh.
