Carlo Ancelotti wants Brazil to play like Real Madrid in the 2023/2024 season when they win La Liga and the Champions League.
The Italian coach, who has just separated from Real Madrid after a disappointing season, took over the Brazilian National Team recently.
"Brazil I will play like Real Madrid, but unlike Real Madrid this year, but like Real Madrid last year. That's what I want," Ancelotti said.
Los Blancos were eliminated in the Champions League quarter-finals, were beaten by Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final, and finished runner-up under the Blaugrana in La Liga 2024/2025.
The result contrasts with the unforgettable 2023/2024 season when Real Madrid equaled their best achievement by lifting five titles.

"The result is not what was expected. The team's game is also not good. It must happen," said Ancelotti.
Meanwhile, Brazil has not won a World Cup since 2002. Ancelotti inherited a team that had struggled to get results and put on a good performance.
Even though Brazil had been eliminated seven times before the semifinals since 2009 at a tournament held outside Brazil, Ancelotti remains optimistic.
"This is the best national team in the world. It's not just my opinion, it's five stars on their jersey."
"No other national team can match them. Now I have a challenge to win the sixth (World Cup)."
"I fully accept the challenge of bringing the sixth World Cup to Brazil, but to do so, we need the whole country to support us."
"Brazil must support the national team, the players need to feel supported, they need to be humble and united. Without humility, there's not much you can do."
"The world Cup is different from any club title. It's a feeling of having a country behind you. That's why it's always been interesting to me."
"I am here to make Brazil the champion again. I accept it and believe we can do it," he said.
In Brazil, Ancelotti will work with several players he has coached at club level, including Vin totalius Junior.
Vinicius played at Real Madrid and finished runner-up at the Ballon d'Or in October 2024. The forward has scored just six goals in 39 appearances since making his Brazilian debut in 2019, but Ancelotti believes he will shine for the Samba Team.
"He's amazing, fantastic, hard-working, fighters like no other."
"The Brazilian player really likes the national team. It can affect his natural thinking, put a lot of pressure on playing well, which doesn't allow him to make mistakes."
"I'm sure he will give his best for the Brazilian National Team. He is one of the best in the world. He has always been there."
"The best of them will soon appear," said Ancelotti again.
