Spales: Ancelotti is suitable for coaching any national team, and on the phone with Archerby

June 2: Italy will play against Norway and Moldova in the World Cup this month respectively. Spaletti talked about the topics of Archerby's refusal to call and Ancelotti took office as the Brazilian national team at the press conference.

What do you think about Ancelotti coaching the Brazilian national team?

Ancelotti has coached the best player in the world, and he is the right person to take charge of a national team with talent and imagination. Ancelotti is an extremely right and appropriate choice for any national team.

Achelby's choice made surprised or disappointed you?

I can't allow myself to feel disappointed. We have the confidence to do other things, make other choices, and I know we have stronger players.

is it because of physical problems?

No, he rethinks some of the things that were happening around him. I recruited him based on his performance during this period. Everyone is tired when the league reaches this stage. This call is not easy, but we must integrate a lot of things. Even though I only brought 23 people this time, the national team actually has 30 players to choose from.

Calafiori and Buongiorno did not come, and we were also paying attention to Leoni, but he was not in his best form. I feel sorry for not calling out Mandra Gora, Christant and Mancini, who performed very well. I will use them as an alternative and confirm to replace them.

We decided to form a relatively streamlined team, so the 7-8 players who failed to make the 23-man roster were not forgotten, otherwise I could call 33 people every time.

Will you recruit someone to replace Archerby?

Not at the moment, we won't replace him. In any case, we also need to sort out everything calmly and peacefully.

Have you talked to him about the call before? Did he tell you he wasn't coming? Do you think this is a controversial rejection?

I only care about the game itself. Obviously, I talked to him before calling him, and later there was information and telephone communication. But I don't want to think about anything more, I just want to focus on what I should do. He sent me a message this morning that he would not attend the training camp. I replied, and then he spoke to him again, and then we continued to move forward. There are still many players worth calling.
