Presentation in style for the new CT of the Seleçao. In the first list of Carletto’s called up there are the “Italians” Ederson and Carlos Augusto
Carlo, Carletto, now become Carlinhos for the Brazilian fans who greet their first Italian coach in the history of the green -gold national team. Last night they also intoned a song in which it was said: “Carlinhos Vem aí, or Bicho go pegar”. Translating, the meaning is more or less this: “He comes Carlo Ancelotti, it will be hard (for the opponents)”. The Reggiolo coach was presented in his new role with a show in the elegant Grand Hyatt Hotel to about 200 journalists. Carlos Augusto, of Inter, and Ederson, of Atalanta, are the “Italians” of Ancelotti’s first list.
Neymar still outside

After an injury, Neymar returned to training but for now he has not been called up. The new CT, however, does not exclude him for the future: “We count on him. I have already talked to Neymar today,” revealed the technician to the first question. Among the called up, of course, there is Vinicius Junior who has never expressed himself in the national team at the level of Real: “He is a very important player for the Seleçao”, explained the new CT which, of course, knows him well after 4 years together with Madrid.
great challenge

“The CBF (Brazilian football confederation) hires one of the best coaches in the world,” began the new president of the Brazilian Federation, Samir Xaud, after the dismissal of his predecessor Ednaldo Rodrigues, who had agreed with the Italian technician. “He will have total autonomy to work,” Xaud continued. “It is an honor to lead the best national team in the world. Brazil has won five World Cup and chose me to win the sixth. I take this responsibility with pleasure. This work requires a lot of responsibility. The challenge is enormous. I will try to reach the highest level,” Ancelotti presented himself in Spanish. “My connection with Brazil began in the 80s with Falcão, Toninho Cerezo,” he said remembering the times when he played with the two Brazilians at Rome. Shortly after, he received the embrace of Luiz Felipe Scolari, the world champion CT with Brazil in 2002 and fourth at the 2014 World Cup at the helm of the Seleçao. “I will always be with you in any situation. The best for our Brazil,” said Scolari.
Italy
–
A question could not be missing about the Italian national team. Ancelotti clarified that the blue bench has never been offered to him: “Italy has never sought me. Italy now has a great coach who is also a friend, Luciano Spalletti. The interest was from Brazil and I am very proud to be here because the story says that this is the strongest national team in the world”.
