Ancelotti also expressed his confidence in the team and its players, saying that they are serious, professional, and patriotic. He believes that the team's strong team spirit and affection for the Brazil shirt are important advantages.

Estevao, who wanted to take the penalty himself, supported Ancelotti's decision and said that he was happy to let Paqueta try to score. Unfortunately, Paqueta missed the penalty, but Estevao believes that the team can learn from this experience and improve for the upcoming World Cup.

The Brazil team will have two more friendlies in the March international break before the World Cup next year. They will aim to win the trophy for the first time since 2002.
