The head coach of the Brazilian national team, Carlo Ancelotti, named the player who will go to the World Cup and praised Croatian star Luka Modrić:

"L. Modrić can play in any position, as he is a formed midfielder.

He is one of the best players I have ever coached. He is a total professional.”

"Of course, we have to evolve. We have a very clear idea of what we want to achieve at the World Cup.

We need to stay calm, as the coaching staff is confident that we are on the right path and in the right place. I believe we have done a good job.”

"I can reveal that Danilo will be at the World Cup.”

In the same group as the Brazilian national team, there will be Morocco, Haiti, and Scotland.
