Neymar golden age is over, and Brazil isn't short on talent, so it's understandable that Ancelotti didn't call him up. I just learned about Vini call-up. There may be other unknown reasons why Ancelotti didn't call him up to the national team. Rodrygo wasn't even called up in Ancelotti first match. I actually think Ancelotti decision is worth a try, or perhaps he considering the overall performance of Brazilian players at their respective clubs.
Yes and let's not forget so easily, Ancelotti is a seasoned manager and understands the necessity and advantages which comes with building the young upcoming players while allowing some of the old ones to rest. The reason why he's not calling them up should not be tied to any personal reasons rather than Ancelotti tried to rediscover some young talents already popular in their respective clubs and bring them to the international games like this FIFA competition for further opportunities to be created for them. I saw a mixture of those young brilliant players who played in the last match against Chile and you can have a feel of the passion and enthusiasm exuded by then.
I saw a very convincing Italy, it's been a long time since we saw a team win with such a high number of goals as they did yesterday, mostly they were all headed, which is very strange for Italy, however yesterday we saw a team that fought hard and made themselves respected, I'm proud of these guys, this is the right path to go to the World Cup
Yes, yesterday I really liked Italy's lineup. Once again, I have to change my mind about Gattuso. I never thought he could create such a cohesive group.
This certainly underlines the fact that Spalletti didn't understand much during his time as Italy coach.
Gattuso should be given time to build this Italian team and take it back to the glory days of Italian football but for now Gattuso main aim should be trying to qualify Italy to the world cup in the United States of America next year.
Qualifying for next the world cup qualifiers at the United States of America is like the dream of everyone manager right now including Gattuso. I believe Gattuso can technically revive the Italian team back to its glorious days again because if they are interested in winning this tournament.
