Ancelotti: My Brazil will play like Real Madrid
Carlo Ancelotti wants Brazil to play like his Real Madrid team did in the 2023-24 season when they won LaLiga and the Champions League.
The Italian coach, who recently parted with Madrid following a disappointing season, took charge of Brazil's national team this week.
"My Brazil will play like Real Madrid, but not like Real Madrid this year, rather like Real Madrid last year," he told Marca. "That's what I want."
Madrid were eliminated in the Champions League quarterfinals, beaten by Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final, and finished runners-up to Barça this past season, a contrast to an unforgettable 2024 that saw Los Blancos equal their best ever-year by lifting five titles.
"The results were not as expected," he said of his departure from Madrid. "The team's play wasn't good either. It was bound to happen."
Brazil have not won a World Cup since 2002 and Ancelotti is inheriting a side that has struggled to get results and deliver good performances.
