Ancelotti Fires Back at Brazil Critics

Carlo Ancelotti and Brazil
Before Brazil face Norway

Carlo Ancelotti has defended his Brazil credentials after criticism of the side’s cautious World Cup style, saying only Sir Alex Ferguson has prepared more matches and is truly qualified to advise him before Brazil face Norway.

The comments followed Brazil’s late comeback win over Japan, where Ancelotti was praised but also questioned online. He said he is not a genius or a fool, while stressing Brazil must defend collectively against Erling Haaland.
