Nouveaux Visages, Pas de Paixão: Première Liste du Brésil Post-Mondial
Le Brésil a dévoilé sa première liste de joueurs pour les matchs amicaux de septembre et octobre, marquée par l'arrivée de nouvelles recrues et le retour de certains talents, mais l'absence notable d'Igor Paixão. João Pedro et Estêvão figurent parmi les sélectionnés.
Deux mois après la déception de la Coupe du monde, Carlo Ancelotti a présenté une équipe remaniée de 26 joueurs pour les rencontres amicales à venir. Le jeune attaquant João Pedro, actuellement en forme avec Chelsea, fait son grand retour. Il avait précédemment été écarté pour laisser place à Neymar lors de la Coupe du monde, où le Brésil avait été éliminé prématurément. Son coéquipier chez les Blues, Estêvão, également sélectionné, aurait dû participer à la Coupe du monde avant d'être blessé.
'La porte est ouverte à tous'
Pour cette première liste post-échec mondial, Ancelotti a également donné leur chance à plusieurs nouveaux venus : les gardiens Pedro Morisco et Otávio, le défenseur central Mauro Júnior, et les milieux de terrain Breno Bidon et Gabriel Bontempo. Les piliers de l'équipe, tels que Gabriel, Marquinhos, Bruno Guimaraes, Vinícius Jr et Raphinha, sont bien présents.
Lors de sa conférence de presse, Ancelotti a décrit cette sélection comme "équilibrée", intégrant des joueurs ayant participé à la Coupe du monde, de jeunes talents prometteurs pour l'avenir, ainsi que des joueurs performants dans le championnat brésilien. Il a souligné l'importance de privilégier les jeunes susceptibles de participer aux prochaines grandes compétitions comme la Coupe du monde ou la Copa América. "Pour tous les autres, il n'y a pas de portes fermées. La porte est ouverte à tous", a-t-il déclaré.
Parmi les grands absents, on retrouve Neymar, qui a annoncé sa retraite internationale à 34 ans, Casemiro et le gardien Alisson. Igor Paixão, dont la première convocation en sélection était espérée avec ce vent de fraîcheur, devra patienter davantage. L'ailier de l'OM, âgé de 26 ans, n'a pas été retenu pour le moment.
Le Brésil affrontera l'Australie les 25 et 29 septembre à Townsville et Brisbane, puis l'Inde le 3 octobre à Calcutta.

New Faces, No Paixão: Brazil's First Post-World Cup Squad Announced
Brazil has unveiled its first squad list for the September and October friendly matches, featuring new arrivals and the return of some talents, but notably excluding Igor Paixão. João Pedro and Estêvão are among the selected players.
Two months after their World Cup disappointment, Carlo Ancelotti has presented a renewed squad of 26 players for the upcoming friendly encounters. Young forward João Pedro, currently in good form with Chelsea, makes a significant return. He was previously omitted to accommodate Neymar in the World Cup squad, where Brazil was eliminated prematurely. His Chelsea teammate, Estêvão, also selected, was expected to be at the World Cup before an injury.
'The door is open to everyone'
For this first post-World Cup failure list, Ancelotti has also given opportunities to several newcomers: goalkeepers Pedro Morisco and Otávio, center-back Mauro Júnior, and midfielders Breno Bidon and Gabriel Bontempo. Key established players like Gabriel, Marquinhos, Bruno Guimaraes, Vinícius Jr, and Raphinha are all included.
During his press conference, Ancelotti described the squad as "balanced," incorporating players who participated in the World Cup, promising young talents for the future, and players performing well in the Brazilian league. He emphasized the importance of prioritizing young players who are likely to be available for future major tournaments like the World Cup or Copa América. "For everyone else, the doors are not closed. The door is open to everyone," he stated.
Among the prominent absentees are Neymar, who announced his international retirement at 34, Casemiro, and goalkeeper Alisson. Igor Paixão, whose first national team call-up was hoped for with this fresh approach, will have to wait longer. The 26-year-old Marseille winger has not been selected for now.
Brazil will face Australia on September 25th and 29th in Townsville and Brisbane, followed by a match against India on October 3rd in Calcutta.
