Galvão slams Ancelotti after Flamengo star left out of Brazil squad | OneFootball

Pedro wasn't even on the preliminary list for the Brazilian National Team for the upcoming 2026 World Cup matches

Pedro did not receive a call-up to the Brazilian National Team this Monday (25th). Coach Carlo Ancelotti only called up Alex Sandro from the current Flamengo squad. For this reason, Galvão Bueno sent a message to the new commander of the ‘Amarelinha’ about the absence of Gávea’s number 9.

— A lot of people missed Pedro in the National Team. Ancelotti, you called up five center-forwards. Wasn’t there any way for Pedro? He plays as a target man, he’s skilled –, he said during the “Galvão e Amigos” show on Band.

Was Pedro on the National Team’s preliminary list?

It’s worth remembering that Pedro wasn’t even included in Carlo Ancelotti’s preliminary list for the upcoming matches of the Brazilian National Team. Even so, Flamengo’s number 9 was not shaken by the Italian coach’s decision and scored three goals against Vitória on Monday (25th), in the Brasileirão.

Which Flamengo players were on the Brazilian National Team’s preliminary list?

Besides Alex Sandro, Ancelotti included Léo Pereira, Léo Ortiz, Danilo and Samuel Lino in the preliminary list of call-ups for the Brazilian National Team. However, the coach chose to call up only the left-back for Brazil’s upcoming matches.

When will the Qualifiers matches take place?

The next two matches for the Brazilian National Team will be played as part of the World Cup Qualifiers. The first match is scheduled for September 4th, against Chile, at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã. Finally, Brazil faces Bolivia on the 9th of the same month, at 8:30 PM (Brasília time).
