This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇮🇹 here.
It's been the week of Carlo Ancelotti. After saying goodbye to Real Madrid, with a tribute from the Bernabeu, the record-breaking coach flew to Brazil to start his new adventure as the national team coach.
The most fascinating national team is in the hands of the most iconic coach. The combination seems like a winning one, then the field will give the final verdict. In any case, the challenge is fascinating.
The Brazil chapter for Ancelotti began with the first call-ups, including the "Italians" Carlos Augusto and Ederson, and the return of Anthony, who had a stellar second half of the season with Betis Seville, who are playing the Conference League final against Chelsea tonight.
Yesterday, Ancelotti attended his first match as the verdeoro coach, between Botafogo and Universidad de Chile, in the Libertadores.
There was great enthusiasm among the local crowd, who stood up in ovation as soon as they realized Ancelotti was present.
Ancelotti took his first notes, having been given a significant task: to bring Brazil back to the top of the world after 24 years.

Trent Alexander-Arnold's last act as Liverpool player will reveal exactly what fans think of him
Trent Alexander-Arnold's last act as a Liverpool player will be to parade the Premier League trophy through the city with his teammates. It has been confirmed that the England international will leave the club at the end of the season, with Real Madrid his next destination. Advertisement Alexander-Arnold's decision to depart, which he communicated via a video on social media on Monday, has prompted an angry reaction from many supporters who are disappointed to see a homegrown talent choose to leave. The main issue that Liverpool fans have is that he is departing after running his contract down, thus ensuring the Reds do not receive a transfer fee for a player who has a market value of $85 million. Instead, it will be Alexander-Arnold who benefits financially, pocketing a handsome signing-on fee on top of his weekly wages, which are believed to worth over $280,000 per week. READ MORE: Enzo Maresca admits he 'didn't like' what Liverpool did to Chelsea - 'They forced us' READ MORE: Ian Wright claims transfer move is 'probably done' amid $60M Liverpool interest Advertisement From Alexander-Arnold's perspective, the benefit of announcing his decision so late in the season is that, if he does receive a negative reception from Liverpool fans inside stadiums, there are only three games of the season remaining, so the backlash won't last particularly long. The Reds have two more games at Anfield to contend with, against Arsenal and Crystal Palace, with the Palace game taking place on May 25 — one day before Liverpool's title parade. The reception that Alexander-Arnold gets during that parade will tell him just where he stands with the supporters that have worshipped him for the best part of a decade. Alexander-Arnold was asked whether he had a message for Liverpool's fans as he spoke to club media as his impending departure was announced. "There's a lot I would like to say," he said. "The main thing is a massive thank you. You guys have been there from the start with me, you guys have supported me, been there. I've felt the support, the love, everything that you guys have done has never been unnoticed by me, I've loved every single minute of it. "I hope they have felt that has been reciprocated and that I've given everything I could to the club. I've done things I never thought I'd be able to do, and to do them with the fans and supporters of this club has been something I'll never forget. I've got many, many memories that will live with me forever. Advertisement "There's no doubt about it, I'll be back – I'd love one day to be able to bring my kids to Anfield and show them that that's where I've played and show them the videos and highlights of what we were able to achieve together. So just a huge thank you for that, thank you for everything you've ever done for me. "Thank you for the support, thank you for the love that I've always felt, thank you for always having my back. I will always love the club, I will always love the people of the club, I will always love the fans and the supporters. Even though I'm leaving as player, as a fan — I'll always be a Liverpool fan.
