[Saba Sports News] According to Brazilian media, a clip from the recently released Brazil national team documentary Vai, Brasil has drawn widespread attention. During national team training camp last November, Richarlison slid in and accidentally took down Carlo Ancelotti, who stayed on the ground for a long while after the fall. In the footage, Richarlison recalled the incident: “It was a terrifying moment. I thought Ancelotti was seriously hurt. I was competing for the ball with Fabinho, who clipped me around the waist, which sent me crashing onto Ancelotti’s knee. He screamed in pain, but thankfully everything turned out fine and he was uninjured.” Rodrygo offered his account: “He went in for a sliding tackle but ended up catching Ancelotti instead. His mistimed challenge sent Ancelotti tumbling to the ground with an immediate cry of pain. I thought to myself: ‘Oh my god, Richarlison, what have you done?’”
The editor believes that the clip has sparked heated discussions among overseas football fans. With Richarlison left out of Brazil’s squad for the US-Canada-Mexico World Cup, plenty of supporters have joked that the mystery is solved and this incident is the reason behind his World Cup exclusion.
