Ancelotti sees Brazil improve to 7.5 rating and asks for more against Norway

Coach Carlo Ancelotti assessed the Brazilian national team's growth in the 2026 World Cup during an interview on the eve of their round-of-16 clash against Norway.

Ancelotti gave the interview on Saturday (4) at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford. He highlighted the team's evolution after the initial 1-1 draw against Morocco.

"I think we improved in quality with the ball, especially compared to the first game", the coach said. He assigned rising grades: 5 against Morocco, 6.5 against Haiti, 7 against Scotland and 7.5 against Japan.

With Lucas Paquetá injured, Ancelotti indicated that Martinelli or Danilo Santos could fill the spot. Raphinha, recovered from a thigh injury, will be on the bench against the Norwegians.
