He was not recruited when talking to Neymar. Ancelotti recalled veterans such as Casemiro

Sports Weekly All-Media Reporter Xiaozhong reported that he went to Rio de Janeiro on May 25. On May 26, Ancelotti announced the list of Brazilian teams during his tenure. An Shuai spoke to Neymar that morning, but he had just returned to the field without recovering from his injury. In Ancelotti's first Brazilian roster, there are veterans such as Casemiro, Richarlisson, Daloni and Alex Sandro. Anthony, who was loaned to Real Betis by Manchester United at the beginning of the year, returned to Brazil after two years.

The new chairman of the Brazilian Football Association, Samir Shaud, gave Ancelotti a Brazilian jersey with the words 26 printed on it, which means the 2026 World Cup.

At the press conference after the list was released, Ancelotti talked about Neymar. He said: "As I said, this time, I tried to select players who are in good health. Neymar suffered an injury not long ago. Everyone knows that Neymar is a very important player. He has been and will be in the future. Unfortunately, now we have many players who are unable to enter the national team because of injuries. For example, Neymar, he has experienced an injury. What I want to say is that Brazil has many talented players. Specifically. When we arrived at Neymar, we counted him. This is the national team, and the Brazilian team still wanted to use him. He returned to Brazil to be able to play and prepare for the World Cup. I spoke to him this morning to explain this to him, and he fully agreed. "

Although he just left the Real Madrid coach position, in his new Brazilian roster, Ancelotti only recruited Vinicius one Real Madrid player, and Rodrigo, Enderick and Militon were not selected. At the press conference, Ancelotti talked about his favorite player Vinicius at Real Madrid.

He said: "I want to say that if Vinis has not played his best version of himself, he will play in the future. Because he is a superb and outstanding player, a hardworking person, and a fighter. I believe 100% that in Brazil, Vinicius will usher in his best version. Will we play like Real Madrid? This is not necessarily. If it was Real Madrid last year, it would not work. Last year's, it would not work. As I said before, it depends on the characteristics of the players. For this national team, Vinicius is a very important player."

Ancelotti also explained Casemiro's return. Casemiro and Ancelotti are old acquaintances. In Real Madrid, the former played under the latter twice. However, the last time "Fat Tiger" played for Brazil was in two World Cup qualifiers in October 2023.

Ancelotti said: "He came here because he deserves it, because of his quality. In addition to quality, there is experience, and his knowledge, and his leadership temperament. Competition brings you knowledge, reading about the situation and leadership temperament. In a team, all these things need to be put together. In terms of passion, Estewan can help Casemiro. Semiro can help Estewan in terms of attitude and commitment. Different things need to be combined."

At the press conference, Ancelotti also talked about the feeling of coaching a national team for the first time. "I started my coaching career in 1992, and I had the opportunity to be Saki's assistant, with the goal of preparing for the 1994 World Cup in 1992 and 1993. It was a very wonderful experience with the players. I will never forget that experience. (The 1994 World Cup) was not good for us, but it was very good for you. I always said that one day, I want to experience this experience again. After that, who do I want to experience this experience with? The Brazilian team went to invite me and I came here."

signed a one-year contract with the Brazilian Football Association, and Ancelotti will live in Rio de Janeiro. Based on the information currently obtained, Ancelotti will definitely live in Brazil for a long time. But other members of its coaching staff are not sure. I don’t know if they are living in Brazil for a long time or if the Brazilian team only arrives in Brazil when they have a game mission. At the press conference, Ancelottis said that taking advantage of this opportunity is also to do a better job, and he will "immerse" in the process of learning about Brazil and Brazilian football.

Ancelotti said: "We have some people here doing work related to Brazil, they observe Brazilian football and the Brazilian players who live here. What I have to do during this time is to spend more time in Brazil to understand the structure of Brazilian football, Brazilian team, Brazilian coaches and Brazilian players. When I have a little vacation, I want to enjoy this country and enjoy Rio. I have never been to Rio, I don't know Rio, and I have never been to Mount Jesus."
