Ancelotti believes that "fear" keeps the team constantly alert.

The first round of Group C matches in the 2026 World Cup will feature a highly anticipated game, with Brazil traveling to the Metropolitan Life Stadium to challenge Morocco. In an interview, coach Carlo Ancelotti stated that "fear" keeps the team alert, allowing them to perform at their best and avoid being caught off guard by their opponents.

Thanks to goals from Guimarães and Enderic, Brazil defeated Egypt 2-1 in an earlier friendly match , securing their place in the World Cup with two consecutive wins.

Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti said, "Fear is a very important part of life. Without fear and vigilance, when we see a lion, we might mistake it for a cat. Fear can save your life, so it's good to always be alert and focused so that the team can play at a high level and not be caught off guard by the opponent."

"I am a naturally optimistic person, and I have full confidence in the team. We are fully prepared and hope to play a great game tomorrow and have a successful World Cup."

Ancelotti emphasized, "We must deliver a complete and outstanding performance in every aspect. In modern football, there are no weak teams anymore. Morocco is one of the best teams in Africa."

When discussing Brazil's goal of winning the World Cup, Ancelotti said, "This is a completely new experience, and it's very special. But it also means that I bear the responsibility and honor of representing the kingdom of football and the most successful national team in the world. For me, it's about two things: responsibility and honor."

"I hope to enjoy this moment with joy and happiness, because it is a very beautiful moment in my life story. I hope to do my job and help this team succeed."
