100 days before the start of the World Cup, the coach of the Brazilian National Team, Carlo Ancelotti, spoke about his expectations for Brazil’s participation in the tournament and projected a performance “at a very high level.”
“It is a joy to have the time to prepare for this important event for Brazil. It is a great motivation and a big responsibility to try to do our very best. I am sure that we will have a World Cup at a very high level,” celebrated the coach, in an interview with CBF TV.
Since the announcement of the group stage opponents (Morocco, Haiti, and Scotland) and the base camp for Brazil—the delegation will train at CT Columbia Park in Morristown and stay at The Ridge hotel in Basking Ridge, New Jersey, on the American East Coast—the National Teams Department has been organizing Brazil’s schedule for the World Cup.

In addition to this work, the coach and his technical staff continue to observe the athletes who could represent Brazil at the World Cup. Ancelotti also emphasized the importance of the friendlies against France and Croatia at the end of March.
On the 26th, Brazil faces France at Gillette Stadium in Boston at 5 p.m. (Brasília time). Then, on the 31st, they take on Croatia at Camping World Stadium in Orlando at 9 p.m. (Brasília time).
“We have been working on the logistics, organization, training center, and hotel, so now we have to evaluate the players who are playing, those who are injured, and those who are recovering. It is a moment of observation. Obviously, we have to do well in the friendlies against France and Croatia and watch the matches of the players who could be at the World Cup in June,” he explained.
