Ancelotti announced Brazil's squad on Wednesday, saying there were many surprises and defending the use of young players.

At a press conference, Ancelotti said: "This is a balanced squad. Players who have participated in the World Cup will be important for the next generation. We have some young players who are capable of representing the future of the national team. We also have some players who are in good form in the Brazilian league, and some who are of Olympic age. We are sharing these players with the U17 and U20 coaches. Now we need to prioritize young players who are capable of participating in the next World Cup and Copa America."
