Carlo Ancelotti made another change to the Brazilian national team. Following Kaio Jorge's injury, the Italian coach called up Andreas Pereira to fill his spot. The midfielder, recently signed by Palmeiras, has yet to make his debut for the São Paulo club and is only expected to wear the green and white jersey after the FIFA International Day .


MILLY LACOMBE SEES BENEFIT TO FLAMENGO
Milly Lacombe on Andreas Pereira's call-up: "Good news for Flamengo"


The call-up was analyzed by Milly Lacombe, who raised doubts about Ancelotti's true purpose in making the selection. For the journalist, Andreas's direct departure for a game at the altitude of El Alto, against Bolivia, can be seen as both an opportunity and a detriment to the player .


"It's that kind of call-up where you don't know if Ancelotti is a fan or a hater. He wasn't in the first game, which was the most relaxed. Now he'll have to climb 4,000 meters and play in thin air ," he commented to UOL News.

Milly also linked Kaio Jorge's injury and Andreas' call-up to a supposed advantage for Flamengo : "Cruzeiro is out, because the national team has already injured Kaio Jorge. Good news for Flamengo, since Cruzeiro and Palmeiras are hot on their heels in the fight for the Brasileirão title ," the journalist concluded.


FLAMENGO HAS CALLED UP

Despite the journalist's mention, it is worth remembering that Ancelotti has already called up several red-black athletes in his first list at the helm of Brazil , having been the team that provided the most players in the FIFA Data in May: Alex Sandro, Danilo, Léo Ortiz, Wesley and Gerson.

Alex Sandro was called up again in the current squad, but was ruled out due to injury. Following Matheus Cunha's injury, Samuel Lino , Flamengo's summer signing, was called up as a replacement . Wesley also appears, but now as a Roma player. Danilo is still recovering from his injuries, and Gerson has been relegated, having not played 90 minutes since the trip to Russia and being a substitute in the last match.

LAST CHALLENGE IN THE QUALIFIERS

The Brazilian National Team faces Bolivia this Tuesday (9), at 8:30 pm (Brasília time), in El Alto, in the final round of the Qualifiers. Already qualified, Ancelotti's team uses the last games as a period of observation and adjustments for the World Cup.

The Brazilian National Team's first training session for the final round of the World Cup Qualifiers took place this Saturday (6), in Teresópolis, in cold temperatures of 16°C, rain and even fog. Coach Carlo Ancelotti made important changes, including the presence of Lucas Paquetá and Fabrício Bruno , both revealed by Flamengo, in the starting lineup.


The activity took place on a reduced field and without goalkeepers, with the focus already on the match against Bolivia, at the altitude of El Alto, a city located 4,100 meters above sea level . This will be the Italian coach's first time leading a team in such conditions.


TEAM TESTED BY ANCELOTTI


During the training session, Ancelotti fielded the team with: Wesley, Gabriel Magalhães, Fabrício Bruno, and Caio Henrique; Bruno Guimarães, Jean Lucas, Andrey Santos, and Lucas Paquetá; Raphinha and Richarlison . During training, the coach also made changes, such as the introduction of Vitinho in Wesley's place.

With the national team already qualified for the World Cup, the Italian coach will be observing the final two rounds. Even so, Ancelotti assured that the group is focused on beating the Bolivians , maintaining the goal of preparing the players for the World Cup.


CASEMIRO IS OUT

A definite absence for Brazil is Casemiro. Suspended for his third yellow card, received in the 3-0 victory over Chile, the midfielder was released from training camp and will not participate in training at Granja Comary.

PAQUETÁ PLEASE THE COACH

Playing in the second half against Chile, Paquetá scored in less than a minute , helped control the match, and directly contributed to the third goal. The performance made a great impression on Ancelotti, who praised the midfielder's versatility.

"Obviously, Paquetá, because of his quality, needs to be here. He can play in different ways. Yesterday he played as a wide midfielder , but he wouldn't have a problem playing as a second midfielder or even as a first, because he has great ball handling skills," the coach highlighted.
