It is up to the Italian Carlo Ancelotti to restore joy to the Brazil of football

Train the Brazil it means marrying the joy of football, understood as a magical game where The queen is fantasy. It means accepting a mission, enormous responsibility, the weight of a shared dream. And know that 212 million people will rely on you and ask you for a select who will have to bring a planet to the stage Fuebol Bailado created for theAlegria I give littlethe joy of the people. And therefore: it had to happen, it happened. Carlo Ancelotti, Brazil. The best coach in the world, the best national team in the world. Together to write the legend. This was communicated by the Brazilian Calcististic Federation, with a post on social media saying: A Maior Seleção da História do Futebol Agora Será Lidda Técnico Pelo Vitiosi Do Mundo.

In Brazil they say that the champions know how to “vice the ball as if they danced with the most beautiful woman in the world”. The whole country, from the favelas of Rio to the Penthouses of San Paolo, from the outskirts of Fortaleza to the jungle of Manaus, when the Selecao plays a single voice. In these hours Ancelotti has closed his adventure at Real Madrid one year in advance of the expiry of the contract. But there have been no tears, only an agreed leave. Recent disappointments – eliminated in the Champions League, the Liga now armored by Barcelona – pushed the management of the Blancos to accelerate the leave, opening the most fascinating of hypotheses for the Italian coach. No European coach has ever trained select. Only three foreigners, three South Americans, in the ultra -hundred years old green history, sat on the Brazil bench. But they date back to the mists of time.

Driving Brazil today is the most stimulating, but also the most dangerous, of challenges. To collect it is the most winning coach in the world. The five Champions League (3 with Real Madrid, 2 with Milan) shines in his bulletin board, the badges won in the major five European championships (Milan in Italy, PSG in France, Chelsea in England, Bayern Munich in Germany and Real Madrid in Spain) for a total of 30 trophies. Brazil has not won the World Cup since 2002. Were the times in which he crazy Ronaldo the phenomenon. Since then he has lined only failures – the largest during the 2014 home world championship – and regrets. The latest generation of gold, Neymar’s, is now a line on the Almanac. Ancelotti will have the star of Madrid, Vinicius Junior on his side. But he will have to rely especially on himself. On one’s experience, on “quiet force”. who has distinguished its path, on the charisma that everyone recognizes him.

The Brazil of football today is a country without joy, a village with a church that is not the most admired, as happened once. To return to shining and winning the world sixth, Selecao needs to find the joy of the game. And he will have to do it in the sign of the champions who made Dream, from Pelé to Garrincha, from Zico to Ronaldo. A new era has opened. There is a little Italy in Brazil. Ancelotti will take the Selecao and the whole country by the hand, accompanying him to the finish line of the 2026 World Cup.
