ROME (ITALPRESS) – “It was a great defensive game. I think the team had the right attitude. We maintained good organization and, at times, good offensive pressure. In defense, I think we played very well. We practically didn’t conceal anything. That’s the positive side”.

Carlo Ancelotti comments on the 0-0 draw against Ecuador in the South American qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup obtained on the day of his debut as Brazil coach. “We could have done better with the ball, with a more fluid style of play, but I think overall it was a good draw – added the English coach of the Selecao – We leave satisfied and confident for the future”.

As for his first as coach of the verdeoro, “it was emotional. It was a very special match, my first as coach of Brazil. Considering that I have been on the bench for over 1,800 games, it was still something special.”
