Carlo Ancelotti sang Brazil’s anthem against Scotland in Miami, and Brazilian social media exploded — but not everyone was celebrating the same thing. 🔥
On one side, the Italian coach’s gesture was a sign of respect and genuine belonging: “I am part of this country, with honor”, he said at the press conference after the 3-0. He has been in the job for barely a year, he is the first foreign head coach to lead the Seleção at a World Cup, and even so he learned every syllable of one of the most difficult anthems in the world. For that group, that is worth more than any passport. 👏
But for the other side, the question is uncomfortable: does an Italian who arrived in 2025 have more right to sing that anthem than millions of Brazilians born in the country? Where is the line between commitment and appropriation? 🤔 What do you think — is Ancelotti’s gesture genuine admiration or overconfidence?
