Ancelotti recalls Casemiro and Antony in first Brazil squad

Carlo Ancelotti named his first team as a coach of Brazil, and handed over a summons to Kasmiro.

Ancelotti was confirmed as a substitute for Dorial Junior on May 12, and he officially took over after the end of his second talisman with Real Madrid last Saturday.

He will take responsibility for his first June 5 match in the World Cup qualifiers with Ecuador in Guayaquil before Brazil hosts Paraguay in Sao Paulo after five days, as they look forward to establishing their grip in a place in the 2026 World Cup.

In naming his team for these games, Ancelotti put his belief in the player who knows him well from his talismans with Madrid.

Manchester United midfielder Casero arrested Brazil at the 2022 World Cup, but he has not played with Celico since 2-0 defeat against Uruguay in October 2023.

There is also Anthony, the United striker on loan at Real Betis.

Anthony has not appeared in Brazil since a friendly with Morocco in March 2023. However, after he fell from Saleh in Old Trafford, he had a thunderbolt in Betis under the leadership of Manuel Pellegrini.

He scored nine goals and provided five assists in his time with Betis, which helped them reach the Conference League final on Wednesday, in which they will face Chelsea.

Tottenham striker Richarlyson has returned to the team and could play with Brazil for the first time since March 2024, but there is no place for Neymar, who recently returned only from the case of the strings of knee.

Ancelotti said: “Neymar came out of the list as he just returned from injury,” Ancelotti said.

“I talked to him and agreed on it. I trust in Neymar, I rely on it, we want it to reach the best conditions in the World Cup.”

Brazil ranked fourth in the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifiers with 10 points, which is six points from Venezuela, which was ranked seventh in the qualifying site between the overlapping.
