Brazil is \u201con the right path to reaching its best level by the 2026 World Cup,\u201d according to its Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti, after the team drew 1\u20131 with Tunisia in a friendly on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Tunisia\u2019s coach Sami Trabelsi said that \u201csmall details cost us the victory.\u201d
\nThree days after defeating Senegal 2\u20130 in a friendly in London, Brazil failed to repeat the win at the Pierre-Mauroy Stadium near Lille, despite another impressive performance from rising star Estev\u00e3o.
\nThe 18-year-old Chelsea winger equalized for the five-time world champions from the penalty spot in the 44th minute, responding to Hazem Mestouri\u2019s opener in the 23rd minute.
\nAncelotti, 66, said:
\n\u201cWe played a very good match against Senegal, but against Tunisia it was much harder.\u201d
\nThe former Real Madrid, Milan, and Bayern Munich coach added:
\n\u201cTunisian players have different characteristics. They defend with a very deep block. It\u2019s very difficult to find spaces against this kind of defense.\u201d
\nAncelotti praised the Carthage Eagles, saying they \u201cplayed with high intensity\u201d and showed an \u201cexcellent defensive level.\u201d
\nOn the other side, Tunisia\u2019s coach Sami Trabelsi said he hopes his team \u201cmaintains this mentality against all opponents, not just Brazil.\u201d
\nThe 57-year-old added:
\n\u201cNext time, I hope we beat Brazil. Small details prevented that from happening\u2014it’s true.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
