"For me, it is a new experience, very beautiful, my first time at Maracana, in the temple of world football,"
"A new experience that I will always have in my memories. The game... I hope for the maximum, that the team plays well, takes confidence and that they have a good attitude and intensity in the game."
"I am very happy to return to the Brazilian National Team. It is a pride once again to defend my country,"
Carlo Ancelotti will manage Brazil at the Maracana for a World Cup qualifying match against Chile and is looking forward to the occasion. He has already overseen two matches: a goalless draw with Ecuador and a 1-0 win over Paraguay that secured Brazil's spot at the 2026 World Cup. Ancelotti omitted Neymar, Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo from the squad for the final qualifiers against Chile and Bolivia. Brazil have struggled in qualifying, losing five of 16 matches and sitting third, ten points behind Argentina. Zenit striker Luiz Henrique earned a recall after scoring twice and assisting once in six qualifiers.
