00:00Hello Lance friends, it's almost game day, Tuesday, 11 PM here.
00:09Philadelphia, almost midnight in Brazil, coach Carlo Ancelotti gave an interview.
00:14The press conference that just took place was delayed by about 2 hours, 1 hour and 50 minutes, in relation to the deadline.
00:21which was set for logistical reasons, the Brazilian team had a flight scheduled for
00:27The flight from New Jersey to Florida was at 2 PM, but ended up leaving only at 5 PM, a little bit later.
00:33From 5 PM onwards, due to the bad weather, do you think that might disrupt their rest?
00:38of the players?
00:40Look, I think so, the players arrived there just to have dinner, it was very quick, I was...
00:45The arrival of the Brazilian team was really cool, a very memorable moment, everything that...
00:52People complained that the team wasn't connecting with the fans, but we saw that it was the opposite.
00:58So, as soon as the players got off the bus, the line was started by Neymar and Vini Júnior, the
01:03The two went straight to the fans, autographs, photos, just like that, with such patience, just like that,
01:09Neymar was about to leave when someone else called him, saying he hadn't gone, so he went.
01:13There, he spent a little more time taking photos and handed out a bracelet that Canarinho has been distributing.
01:20Throughout these arrivals of the national team, a bracelet with several, with the years, with
01:24Some words, right? Trust, I saw one word for trust, another is 1994, they all have a...
01:30The message from the national team was there, so he distributed these bracelets to Vini Júnior, Casemiro, and Bruno.
01:36Guimarães, Alisson, they all went there to take a picture, to receive affection from the fans.
01:43Giving the players confidence, so it was really cool to witness that arrival.
01:48Of the players, seeing Neymar there doing well too, Vini Júnior doing great as well, chatting
01:54with everyone, and one thing that caught my attention is that as soon as they came in, I
01:58I spoke with someone from the delegation and he said the following: we're already having dinner, so
02:02They arrived straight there for dinner, and then probably went straight there for a rest.
02:08Perhaps later a dinner, coach Carlo Ancelotti, for example, went straight to the press conference.
02:13According to the press, Matheus Cunha ended up not going precisely to follow all these procedures.
02:17dinner, rest, supper, because that way, it's not that it will harm, but that way, what
02:24I imagine that's what happened; they must have been waiting at the airport for a long time.
02:28I don't know if it was inside the aircraft or not, because it was raining conditions, it was a condition of
02:33Bad weather, the aircraft couldn't take off and come here to Miami, so that caught my attention.
02:40Paying little attention, did they stay on the aircraft, did they stay in an area?
02:42at the airport waiting to board and take off, so this is also important to see,
02:47You went to that side of the press conference; I think we have some important information.
02:52But I think you came back with more questions than answers, because, well, after the sentence...
02:57I don't doubt Ancelotti's belief that Neymar can play 90 minutes; that's what the head of...
03:04Ancelotti, I'd say he's like my daughter when she was six months old, right?
03:09Yes, but actually Ancelotti didn't say that Neymar can play 90 minutes, he was
03:13When asked how long Neymar could play, he replied, "I can play 90 minutes."
03:21While walking, he implied that Neymar will play for as long as he is able to.
03:27I don't believe he'll be a starter, but Ancelotti has hinted that he will use him.
03:33Regarding Raio, who's replacing Rafinha, that was a question from PVC. Paulo Vinícius asked, "Hey, Raio is a..."
03:40The guy who can do it, play more openly to the right, he said yes, Raio is a guy who can.
03:45To create that width on the right, which is exactly what Rafinha had been doing. Ancelotti, despite the
03:53Three hours of waiting and all that, he was in a good mood, the traditional good mood of Carlo Ancelotti, he even joked around.
04:00Finally, they asked him, "So, Ancelotti, you've been saying it was an honor to manage the national team."
04:09During the World Cup and now that he's effectively in charge, what are his feelings? He spoke,
04:13"I'm very happy," he said. "It's a very vivid experience," he said. "Everything is still working to this day," he said.
04:20We had a small problem today, which was the issue with the flight back, he even mentioned it.
04:25There's the other one who gives a press conference at nine o'clock at night, Ancelotti's press conference, which was scheduled.
04:31Around 7:15 PM, it was 9 PM, he missed dinner with his colleagues. Well, speaking of which...
04:38Effectively, Brazil plays this Wednesday needing to win, to perhaps...
04:46Securing first place is not guaranteed by a victory alone, it's important to emphasize. It depends on the team's goal difference.
04:51Morocco against Haiti. Brazil has a two-goal advantage in goal difference, we don't believe Morocco will win.
04:57They might be a team capable of achieving a very high-scoring victory against Haiti, but we have to consider...
05:04Brazil first needs to win in Scotland. It's important to talk about the tie-breaking criteria.
05:08There's one that really caught my attention, way back when I was a kid; there was even a draw for it during the 1990 World Cup.
05:13But this year, the final tiebreaker is the FIFA ranking, which, if all else fails,
05:20Brazil is in first place, which helps the Brazilian national team a lot.
05:24Yes, Brazil has a two-goal advantage in goal difference, but is two yellow cards behind them.
05:30Morocco suffered one, which is also an important criterion.
05:33Brazil has three.
05:34Brazil has three.
05:35Which is actually a point worth discussing here, which is whether he gave any indication of whether he will...
05:41save, saving isn't really the right word, preserve Casemiro and Douglas Santos,
05:46Are they already in debt with the card, or did they not give any clues?
05:49He was questioned about it and implied that he will not preserve it.
05:53That's because Brazil isn't mathematically qualified yet, they still need to win, he was
05:58When asked about it, as always Antilotti dodged the question, but he implied that he didn't.
06:02He will rest players because of the cards he has accumulated.
06:05But I think he strongly believes in his speech that everyone is a starter, I think that
06:09Alex Sandro and Fabinho, in his mind, are players who, if they enter the knockout stage, will...
06:13They will be up to the task, filling in for the current starters, Casemiro and Douglas.
06:21Santos.
06:21He'll take it because he believes that if he loses the player, he'll have a replacement.
06:25Exactly.
06:27Just a reminder that Márcio Toulzan and I have new looks; we got our hair cut here in Fort Lauderdale.
06:34Very friendly.
06:35Dania Bitt.
06:36The boys who did the haircuts were very nice, two Venezuelans, mine was Joel, I don't know.
06:41If you remember yours.
06:42March.
06:43March.
06:43Marco, then, cheering for the Brazilian team, even ended up asking them several questions.
06:47It's a selection process for us, and Brazil plays here in Miami, at Hard Rock Stadium, at 6 PM.
06:56The time here in the United States is 7 PM in Brazil, and tomorrow we'll be back with...
