Overview
- Ancelotti named Morisco to his first Brazil squad, and the goalkeeper entered the national camp after the call-up was made public on Saturday.
- Morisco said he was ‘tremendously surprised’ because he expected a call only after more time in Série A and vowed to give his all during the short camp.
- He pledged extreme dedication, telling CBF TV he will deliver “200%, 300%” over the 15 days to make a strong impression in training and games.
- Brazil will play friendlies on Sept. 29 in Brisbane at Suncorp Stadium and on Oct. 3 in Kolkata at Salt Lake, giving newcomers limited match time to show their value.
- Morisco’s rise traces to Coritiba’s rebuilding and the club’s 2025 Série B title; his call-up fits a wider goalkeeper renewal that includes young names like Cruzeiro’s Otávio and access to coach Taffarel for specialist coaching.
