Italy manager Carlo Ancelotti expressed his great satisfaction with Brazil’s 2-0 victory over Senegal in a friendly at the Emirates Stadium in London this Saturday.
Manager Ancelotti praised the team’s balance, with Estevan and Casemiro scoring goals, and emphasized that defensive stability had returned, especially after Militao’s arrival. The coach was proud of the convincing performance against an opponent who had been undefeated for over two years.
At the press conference, Manager Ancelotti emphasized the recovery of the defense, which had been shaken after conceding three goals in the second half of the match against Japan, and praised the team’s overall efforts and tactical execution.
“It was a very beautiful game. There was sacrifice and concentration at the defensive level. I liked the work that was done, the sacrifices, the idea of the game that we wanted to improve the quality and do well. We focused on defense and all the players worked very well. There was a lot of pressure in the first half and we had more control in the second half because we didn’t need the very high pressure that we had in the first half. The quality of the players up front made the difference.”
Ancelotti also commented on the performance of his attacking team, giving full praise to Estevan, who was the top scorer during his time as manager, and said he was pleasantly surprised by the young player’s talent and strength.
“It’s amazing to see a young player with such talent. He’s very accurate and very powerful. His future is guaranteed in Brazil.”
With this win, Carret added his fourth win in seven games as Selecao manager. Brazil are currently preparing for their final match of 2025, next Tuesday in Lille, France, against Tunisia.
The Brazilian team continues its activities in Europe and will face Tunisia on Tuesday (11/18). This match will be Amarerinha’s last match of the year. The ball rolls at Decathlon Stadium in Lille, France.
