Alisson Becker Confident in Brazil's World Cup Chances Under Ancelotti's Leadership

Brazil's seasoned goalkeeper Alisson Becker struck a note of confidence on Thursday, recognizing that his team might not be frontrunners for the World Cup but asserting their readiness under coach Carlo Ancelotti's guidance.

Addressing the press in New Jersey, a fully recovered Alisson, who has faced recent injury challenges, downplayed the pressure of being labeled favorites as experienced by competitors like France and Argentina. 'Favourites status is not a guarantee,' the 33-year-old emphasized, directing focus towards the importance of being prepared for the tournament's start.

Brazil struggled during the South American qualifiers, securing a spot only after Ancelotti's appointment, which brought stability to the team. The upcoming match against Morocco at MetLife Stadium is a crucial step in reclaiming World Cup glory last achieved 24 years ago, a task Alisson feels Ancelotti's leadership can accomplish.
