Ancelotti Embraces World Cup Pressure As Vinicius Targets Brazil's Sixth Title

By IANS News June 13, 2026 • 06:00 AM View: 239

UEFA Champions League: Brazil manager Carlo Ancelotti said fear and responsibility are natural companions at the World Cup as the five-time champions prepare to begin their campaign against Morocco, while star forward Vinicius Jr insisted individual accolades mean nothing compared to helping Brazil reclaim football's biggest prize.

Speaking before Saturday's group-stage match, Ancelotti acknowledged that even after a successful career, which includes league titles in Europe's top five leagues and a record five UEFA Champions League wins as a coach, he still feels nerves ahead of the World Cup.

"Fear is an important part of life," Ancelotti told reporters on Friday.
