Bremer: I have rejected Italian naturalization, and Ancelotti coaching Brazil is a positive factor for me
Juventus defender Bremer said that he had rejected the naturalization of the Italian national team, and after Ancelotti took office, the Brazilian national team will pay more attention to players in the First Nations.
Brazilian defender Bremer came to Serie A to play football in 2018 and transferred to Juventus in 2022. Bremer revealed that the Italian national team tried to invite himself to play, "They tried to make me naturalize, but I came from Bahia, Brazil, and suddenly became Italian. At that time, I talked with Italian national team coach Mancini, and he said that if there was a chance, he would speed up the naturalization process, and I would get Italian nationality through my wife."
But Bremer finally decided to wait for the call for the Brazilian national team. "My thought at that time was: Brazil is Brazil, this is the greatest team. If I go to the Italian national team to participate in the training camp, people would say, 'Hey, this guy is Brazil, what are you doing here?' I think this is not good. And the Brazilian national team has always been my dream. I grew up watching the Brazilian national team play." After
, Bremer was selected for the Brazilian national team, but he didn't play much in the national team due to injuries and other reasons. However, this summer, Italian coach Ancelotti became the new head coach of the Brazilian national team. Bremer said to this: "When I learned that Ancelotti was coaching the Brazilian national team, I excitedly celebrated. I hope he can succeed, not because he is Italian, but because he is a coach who has won many championships."
Bremer defaulted to: "It is certain that Coach Ancelotti will look at Italian football in a different way. If you can notice, you will find that the last national team coach rarely pays attention to League One. There are few Serie A games broadcast in Brazil, right? The most popular games are now the Premier League, Real Madrid and Barcelona. But Italians always say that the best defense is in Italian football. Coach Tite used to like Italian defense, and now coach Ancelotti is the same. So this is a positive factor for me."
Bremer only played 8 times with a serious cruciate ligament injury last season, but he has recovered now. Bremer said: "I have proved my worth and have come back from injury. If I were in good health, I would be called up by the national team, but there is still a long time before that. It is important for me to stay focused and return to the field at its best. Ancelotti is a top coach and I believe he will look at Italian football in a different light."
