ORLANDO (USA) (ITALPRESS) – Four forwards, but always with balance. Carlo Ancelotti is seeking the right balance between the Brazilian style and his own ideas on the eve of the friendly against France in Boston. “In recent months, I’ve been thinking about the best playing style for the team, taking into account the players’ characteristics. And we think it’s with four players up front. Tomorrow will be an important test: we want to play well, controlling the game, trying to defend well, which is very important, maintaining balance and showcasing the quality of the front four.”
Without Marquinhos leading the defense, the Seleção will face a France side that “has very strong players, with great quality. Kylian Mbappé scored a lot of goals last year, now he’s an opponent,” referring to the Real Madrid-trained striker.
“We have to defend well against him. He’s a very quick player, with quality and a very effective finisher. It’s very important for us to play with balance, while also staying focused on our own quality, which is very high.” A question about Neymar, who Romario says should be part of the squad, couldn’t be missed. “I watch everything. In football, everyone can express an opinion, and I have to respect them all. Football isn’t an exact science.”
