The "Samba Army" Brazil will travel to Tokyo Stadium to face "Eastern Japan" in another friendly match, and coach Ancelotti said that his goal for the Brazilian national team is to do his best to make the players play at their best and win the World Cup.
Ancelotti, from Italy, was appointed as the head coach of Brazil in May this year and became the first foreign coach in 60 years to lead Brazil to a place in the 2026 World Cup finals.
Brazil coach Ancelotti said in an interview, "My goal is to do my best to contribute to Brazil, let the players play at the highest level and win the World Cup. No foreign coach has ever led Brazil to win the World Cup before, but there will always be a first time in life."
"Brazilian players do have the ability to play spectacular football, but we need to think about the true meaning of 'beautiful football'. Brazilian players have excellent individual qualities, but more importantly, they combine this ability with teamwork and off-the-ball movement, which is crucial in modern football."
In an earlier friendly match, Brazil defeated South Korea 5-0 with goals from Esteban Willian, Rodrigo and Vinicius, successfully continuing their journey to the World Cup with victory.
When asked whether star player Neymar will have the opportunity to return to the Brazilian national team in the future, Ancelotti said, "If Neymar is in good physical condition, he can certainly participate in the national team. As long as Neymar is healthy, he can play in any team in the world."
