It's an interesting lineup; they're mixing experienced players with newcomers. Ancelotti even said he has the freedom to test and incorporate new talent, as long as they're in good physical condition. And big names like Neymar, who is injured, Rodrygo (I'm not sure), and Vinícius Jr., who was suspended, were left out.

In my opinion, Ancelotti has done a very good job, choosing players who are in their best form, so anyone can have a chance to get a call-up. Without Neymar, Vinicius, and Rodrygo, Brazil's squad depth still looks quite luxurious. I think Brazil will be able to defeat Chile and Bolivia. Ancelotti might be able to guide Brazil to a runnerup finish in the standings with 31 points, right behind Argentina. Of course, on the condition that Ecuador drops points in their last two matches, or Brazil manages to score more goals.

After experiencing some pretty severe ups and downs in performance, Brazil has finally reached a safe point, guaranteed to qualify for the upcoming 2026 World Cup. Nevertheless, I still hope that Neymar will return to strengthen Brazil in the future, the 2026 World Cup is his last chance.

I also really like the team's independence without the big names; it creates new leaders within the team and allows them to have more synergy with each other. But obviously, without these key players it will be more difficult, but as he himself said, they are already qualified and can very well try new things.
