According to "Every Physical Education", Barcelona is dissatisfied with Ancelotti's recruitment of Rafinia (Brazil has qualified for the 2026 World Cup), and the club hopes to let the players return to Barcelona after Brazil's World Cup qualifiers against Chile at home.
Ancelotti showed a clear preference for Real Madrid players after serving as head coach of the Brazilian national team. He gave three Real Madrid players (Militon, Vinicius and Rodrigo) a break, but at the same time recruited Rafinia for an insignificant international match day in September.
Brazil, which has qualified for the 2026 World Cup, will face the eliminated Chile team at Maracana Stadium on September 4 and head to the El Alto Plateau to challenge Bolivia on September 9.
Barcelona has reason to express dissatisfaction with this unfair treatment. Now they can only try their best to reduce their losses and will communicate with the senior management of the Brazilian Football Association. They hope that Rafinia will be exempted from going to Bolivia after the Rio de Janeiro game, thereby avoiding a game on the plateau with a low value but extremely consuming physical fitness on the 4,150-meter-high plateau.
Ancelotti's call list this time is full of new faces, because he wants to take this opportunity to examine the players who have appeared in the national team in recent years. The first time selected were full-back Douglas Santos (Zenit) and forward Joe Jorge (Cruzero), who was the top scorer in the 2026 League One.
This will be the only test Ancelotti has conducted against Brazil, so calling Rafinia seems even more meaningless. On the international match day in October, when Brazil will travel to Asia to play friendly matches with South Korea (Seoul) and Japan (Tokyo), the Italian coach plans to recruit players who will eventually compete in the World Cup.
