Ancelotti Seeks to Replicate Real Madrid’s Success in Brazil
The renowned Italian coach, Carlo Ancelotti, aims to implement the playing style that led Real Madrid to success in the 2023-24 season with the Brazilian national team. After taking over the national team, Ancelotti seeks to emulate the performance that earned Real Madrid LaLiga and the Champions League.
My Brazil will play like Real Madrid, but not like this year’s Real Madrid, but like last year’s Real Madrid. That’s what I want.

Ancelotti, who recently left Real Madrid, is focusing on an ambitious project with Brazil. The coach seeks to bring the national team to a level of play and results that resembles the merengue team that won five titles in 2024.
Ancelotti faces a great challenge, as Brazil hasn’t won a World Cup since 2002. Furthermore, the team has struggled to achieve consistent results and deliver a performance worthy of its history. The coach inherits a team with the pressure to return to the top of world football.
Despite the challenges, Ancelotti is optimistic. “It’s the best national team in the world. It’s not just my opinion, it’s the five stars on their jerseys,” he stated. The Italian coach takes on the challenge of conquering the sixth World Cup for Brazil, an achievement that requires the support of the entire country.
Ancelotti emphasizes the importance of unity and humility. “Brazil has to support the national team, the players need to feel supported, they must be humble and remain united. Without humility, you can’t do much.”
In his new position, Ancelotti will work with several players he already knows, including Vinícius Júnior, whom he coached at Real Madrid. The coach is confident that Vinícius will shine with the Brazilian national team.
Ancelotti highlighted Vinícius’ qualities: “He is extraordinary, fantastic, hardworking, a fighter like few others.” The coach believes that the player will give his best for the national team, and hopes that he will soon reach his peak performance.
