Head coach of the Brazilian national team Carlo Ancelotti shared his thoughts ahead of the 1/8 final match of the World Cup 2026 against Norway. The Italian footballer said that his team will have to play to the maximum or get a ticket to the next round.

" This is a team with a good structure, a high level of mastery and a miraculous organization of the game, a team with a very high offensive potential, which is well balanced. She plays attacking football, so it’s very difficult for Swedes to carry out counterattacks against her.

The Norwegians have a miraculous central line. We can show our best football, I respect that this is the very moment when we start working. “We are confident after the difficult match against Japan that we will continue to be prepared for anything that may happen,” Ancelotti said..

The match between the teams of Brazil and Norway will take place on 5 days. The starting whistle blows at 23:00 Kyiv time.
