Ancelotti: Brazil is Ready for the World Cup, Focus on Defense
Brazilian national team coach Carlo Ancelotti confirmed that his team is moving in the right direction in preparation for the upcoming World Cup, noting that the features of the final squad have become largely clear in his mind.
Ancelotti said, "We are on the right track towards the World Cup, and the roster in my mind is almost ready," indicating his relative stability regarding the players he will rely on in the tournament.
The Italian coach added that success in the World Cup does not depend solely on offensive strength, explaining: "The team that wins the World Cup will not necessarily be the one that scores the most goals, but rather the team that concedes the fewest."
During the current international break, the Brazilian national team lost a friendly match against the French national team with a score of 2-1, while they are preparing to play another match against the Croatian national team early Wednesday morning.
