"It's very clear what we need to improve", says Ancelotti

The Brazilian team drew 1-1 with Morocco in their debut at the 2026 World Cup, and despite saying that the "result is not bad", Ancelotti was not at ease in the post-game press conference.

Just as he did in the mixed zone, the Brazilian team coach stated that he did not like the team's first half. "We have to evaluate what happened in the first half, he didn't play well. A lot of lost balls, we have to improve in this aspect. The second half was better", he said.

"We can't lose confidence, in the first game anything can happen. We can't think that the team will be perfect in the first game", he added.

Morocco dominated the first minutes of the game, and Brazil looked lost. In the 20th minute, Lucas Paquetá missed a pass on the left side of the attack, Mazraoui activated Brahim Díaz, who found a beautiful deep pass between the Brazilian defense duo. At speed, Saibari took advantage of Alisson's exit and, with a dig, opened the score of the match. Vini Jr. scored a great goal and left everything the same.

Even though the point has a bad taste for most Brazilians, Ancelotti says he remains confident in a good campaign. "Trust is total, I think that in football not everything goes perfectly. When everything doesn't go perfectly, we need to make constructive criticism. Let's do it and we'll improve. It's just the beginning of this path", he said.

Endrick forgotten?
With Brazil's below-expected performance against Morocco and the lineup chosen by Ancelotti, many fans wondered about Endrik's absence from the team. He preferred not to respond individually about the option.

"I'm not here to talk about an individual player. I'm talking about the team. We had some opportunities, but we have to get more right."
