Carlo Ancelotti, the man leading Brazil’s national team, just put three Serie A players on blast for the upcoming friendly matches, with Inter’s Carlos Augusto, Roma’s Wesley, and Torino’s Lucas Perri getting the nod. It’s clear Ancelotti has his eyes peeled on Italian football, looking for the absolute in-form players to join his Seleção squad. Talk about making a statement with your early selections!
Augusto and Wesley: Versatility and Attack Power
Look, when you’re the top scorer for Inter in the Champions League, you’re going to get noticed, right? That’s exactly what Carlos Augusto, a true workhorse defender for Inter, has been doing. This dude isn’t just sitting back there; he’s versatile enough to play in a back three, dominate the right side of a five-man midfield, or even slot in on the left. Ancelotti clearly loves that kind of flexibility, especially when it comes with a scoring touch. Then you have Roma’s Wesley, a winger who’s all about offense. He can light up either flank in an attacking role, giving Brazil another dynamic option going forward. These are the kinds of weapons you want heading into international duty, players who can change the game.
Lucas Perri’s Loan Move Lands Him a Brazil Spot
And let’s talk about Lucas Perri. The Torino goalkeeper just made a move over the summer from Leeds United on loan, with an option to buy him permanently for a cool €16 million at the end of the season. How’s that for making an immediate impact? Going from a loan deal to getting called up by Brazil for international friendlies? That’s the kind of trajectory that gets fans hyped. Ancelotti’s keeping tabs on these guys, and Perri’s early form with Torino is clearly turning heads.
Brazil is set to clash with Japan on November 14, followed by a “lucrative opportunity” against Singapore on November 17 during the international break. These aren’t just any games; they’re a chance for these newly called-up Serie A stars to prove they belong on the biggest stage. You know Ancelotti is watching every move, and for players like Augusto, Wesley, and Perri, these friendlies are their moment to absolutely shine. Let’s see what they bring!
