Let us know in the comments if you really believe these 11 will start against Ecuador. And if you agree with this starting lineup!

Formation: 4-3-3

Ancelotti normally prefers the 4-3-3, prioritizing control of the midfield, full-backs who are more reserved in attack, and wingers with the freedom to attack the opposing defense.

Starting XI:

Goalkeeper: Alisson (Liverpool)

  1. No debate. Alisson remains one of the best goalkeepers in the world—reliable, experienced, and decisive in big matches.

Right-back: Danilo (Flamengo)

  1. A tactically disciplined full-back, just the way Ancelotti likes. Brings balance to the team instead of pushing forward all the time.

Center-backs: Marquinhos (PSG) and Lucas Beraldo (PSG)

  1. Already have chemistry at the club. Marquinhos brings leadership and experience; Beraldo is calm and has good ball distribution.

Left-back: Carlos Augusto (Inter Milan)

  1. Balances defense well with supporting the attack. He’s having a solid season in Italy and fits the style Ancelotti values.

Midfielders:

Casemiro (Manchester United) – Classic defensive midfielder, experienced and trusted by the coach since their Real Madrid days.

Bruno Guimarães (Newcastle) – Combines intensity with technique. Contributes both in defense and in creation.

Andreas Pereira (Fulham) – Coming off a great season in the Premier League. Brings dynamism, vertical passing, and offensive presence.

Right winger: Raphinha (Barcelona)

  1. Direct, disciplined, and tactically reliable player. Ideal for Ancelotti’s style, which requires wingers who also track back.

Left winger: Vinicius Jr (Real Madrid)

  1. Undisputed starter under the coach at Real. Explosive, unpredictable, and already knows exactly what the manager expects from him.

Center forward: Richarlison (Tottenham)

  1. Energy, presence in the box, and work rate. Could be Ancelotti’s favorite for his ability to press and link up with teammates.

Tactical Justifications:

Solid defensive structure: Danilo and Carlos Augusto provide balance, allowing Vini and Raphinha to stay higher up the pitch.

Complete midfield: Casemiro protects the back line, Bruno covers both boxes, and Andreas adds creativity and forward runs.

Attacking chemistry: Vinicius and Richarlison already know each other well, and Raphinha offers width and defensive cover.
