Ancelotti After Brazil's Exit: "This Is a Starting Point," Not a Disaster

Brazil were eliminated from the World Cup after a 1-2 defeat to Norway in the Round of 16. Coach Carlo Ancelotti, whose contract runs until 2030, refused to call the exit a disaster and instead framed it as "a starting point" for the team. His measured words risk infuriating Brazilian fans for whom a last-16 exit is a humiliating blow, not a launchpad.
