Ancelotti Balances Brazil Role While Favoring Madrid Players

According to Jordi Blanco of ESPN, Carlo Ancelotti’s management of Brazil appears to be closely tied to his ongoing commitment to Real Madrid, raising questions about his dual role. The Italian coach, who has taken charge of the Seleção, continues to make decisions that seem to safeguard Madrid’s interests, even as Brazil prepares for the upcoming World Cup.
Brazil, already assured of a place in the tournament, will play against Bolivia in the international break. Barcelona winger Raphinha has not been excused and is expected to start, a move that ensures he remains heavily involved in the national setup despite the minimal stakes of the fixture.
On the other hand, Real Madrid players Vinícius Júnior, Rodrygo, and Éder Militão have been spared from international duty. The trio was not called up, a decision that allows them crucial rest and recovery ahead of a demanding club schedule in La Liga and the Champions League.
This contrast has fueled debate in Spain, with many noting that Ancelotti’s selections seem to favor Real Madrid while placing extra burden on Barcelona. The balance between national team obligations and club protection is at the heart of the discussion, as Brazil’s depth means some stars are shielded while others are leaned on more heavily.
