An Shuai started the World Qualifying Tournament selection work, contact Neymar, Casemiro and follow potential candidates

On May 13, according to Brazil Global Sports, Ancelotti has begun to prepare for the Brazilian national team to compete in the World Cup qualifiers. He has contacted some key players, including Neymar, Casemiro, etc., and is understanding the situation of players such as Anthony.

According to reports, Ancelotti plans to arrive in Rio de Janeiro on May 26, and announces the 23-man roster of the World Cup qualifiers against Ecuador and Paraguay after arrival. After fulfilling Real Madrid's responsibilities, Ancelotti has started the selection of players in a variety of ways, including directly contacting important players and consulting potential candidates.

Among them, Ancelotti contacted Neymar through video calls. Although the atmosphere of the conversation was relaxed and informal and the two sides did not involve the upcoming agreement, Ancelotti still expressed Neymar's importance in the World Cup cycle in a cordial tone. Although no promise was made, Ancelotti made clear his attention to the Brazilian No. 10 player and learned about Neymar's current situation and plans during the chat.

Another player Ancelotti plans to recall is Casemiro, a defensive midfielder who played for Real Madrid and followed Manchester United to the UEFA Cup final, has long maintained a good relationship with Ancelotti. Ancelotti made it clear that he hoped Casemiro would become one of the leaders of the locker room. Although he had not been drafted since October 2023, there was a high possibility of re-selecting this time.

Ancelotti also pays attention to the performance of other potential players. He revealed to people around him that he has consulted in detail about several players, including Anthony of Betis, Kayo Enrique of Monaco, and Alex Sandro of Lille. This shows that even as Real Madrid season is approaching the end of the year, Ancelotti continues to observe potential internationals and relies on professionals to make final decisions on the close report of these players.

Ancelotti's move shows that he not only pays attention to the preparations for the current lineup, but also lays the foundation for the future of Brazil. The approaching of the World Cup qualifiers and the upcoming 23-man roster will have an important impact on Ancelotti's subsequent command work.
