Ancelotti to maintain new Brazil approach after thrashing India

Carlo Ancelotti insisted he will continue to give young players a chance after Brazil's comfortable win over India on Friday.

Samuel Lino scored twice in a 4-0 victory, with Estevao and Pedro also scoring in Kolkata, in what was the first-ever meeting between the two countries.

The likes of Arthur Dias (19), Gabriel Bontempo (21) and Andrey Santos (22) all started for the Selecao, while 22-year-old goalkeeper Pedro Morisco also made his debut.

Brazil accumulated 1.2 expected goals (xG) to India's 0.29, with the hosts, expectedly, not offering much threat in the attacking third.

Nevertheless, Ancelotti was pleased to see how his younger players performed, and he plans to name a similar squad for next month's international break.

"We are doing very well in these aspects, we have to give them opportunities," said Ancelotti after the win.

"These are players who have more difficulties, players who don't get playing time at their clubs have more difficulty playing a competitive game, as might be the case with Estevao and Endrick.

"Getting to know these players better, I think Jair Cunha played very well. Bontempo better in the first game than in the second game. Breno [Bidon] came on showing his qualities. Artur Dias was very good, the goalkeepers too."

Brazil have gone unbeaten during this extended international break, drawing and winning against Australia before their victory over India.

Ancelotti's side will return to Asia next month to take on Japan and Singapore in friendly matches.
