NEW YORK, July 5 — Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti said on Saturday the five-time champion will take on Norway with stronger confidence.
“We have to play at our best level, but I think we are at a time when we can play at our best level because we’re confident,” said the Italian. “We’ve come out of a challenging last match against Japan, and we’re prepared for anything that can happen, just as we were for our last match. The Italian coach admitted Erling Haaland was a strong threat but he didn’t have a specific plan to contain the Norwegian hitman.”Everyone knows how he works. I have nothing to explain to my defenders how to play against him. They’ve obviously played against him several times,” said Ancelotti. “I don’t think that there’s such a thing as an anti-Haaland plan. I don’t need to tell my players how to defend.”
