Brazil goalkeeper Alisson has praised manager Carlo Ancelotti ahead of their World Cup opener against Morocco, calling him a 'true winner'.
Since Ancelotti's arrival, there has been a glimmer of hope for Brazil, who last won the FIFA World Cup in 2002. Alisson said the atmosphere has been transformed under Ancelotti, who fosters a sense of calm and focus.
'He's a true winner; it really shows. I think you can see it in his expression and players notice it too,' Alisson said. 'The guy has won everything in football, yet here he is with the Brazilian national team, full of joy and enthusiasm.'
Alisson will feature in his third World Cup, having played in 2018 and 2022. He said it would be an honor to join the ranks of the great names in the history of the Brazilian National Team. Brazil opens its campaign against Morocco on Sunday.
