Left-back Douglas Santos debuted for the Brazilian team in 2016 and then spent almost a decade without new opportunities. With the arrival of Carlo Ancelotti, the 32-year-old from Paraíba was once again remembered to wear Amarelinha. >> See Tuesday's World Cup games; Argentina and France debut Related news: The Brazilian team reappears and does its first training session to face Haiti. Scotland beats Haiti and becomes leader of Brazil's group in the World Cup. Ancelotti guarantees that a draw in the World Cup opener will not shake confidence. Douglas was in six of the 12 games under the Italian's command that preceded the World Cup, being the most used in the position. The full-back held a press conference this Tuesday morning (16), at The Ridge, a hotel in New Jersey (United States) where the Brazilian delegation is staying for the World Cup. "Mister [Ancelotti] talks a lot to me, as I have grown a lot defensively, he follows me at Zenit [in Russia], with his staff, and has asked me to enjoy myself. He knows my characteristics and, thank God, it's been working out. I've been focusing as much as I can to deliver my best, defending well and being a surprise in attack", he said. Douglas Santos started the debut against Morocco, last Saturday (13), in New Jersey, which ended 1-1. Alongside striker Vinícius Júnior, he was one of Brazil's highlights in the duel, both in offensive support, with advances to create goal situations, and in defense, leaving the number 7 free on the left side to attack. "Vini is a guy who has been our source of relief, also knowing that, there, [attackers] Raphinha, Igor Thiago, Matheus Cunha, [midfielder] Bruno Guimarães, who arrives very far ahead, could appear there. We talk a lot on the left side so that he [Vinícius Júnior] has the freedom to play the football he knows. Against Morocco, it was clear", explained Douglas Santos.   Douglas Santos on the field wearing the Brazilian national team shirt - REUTERS/John Sibley/ Reproduction prohibited "There will be no easy game" With one point in Group C, like Morocco, Brazil returns to the field on Friday (19), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), against Haiti, in Philadelphia. The game has the biggest discrepancy in positions in the International Football Federation (FIFA) ranking of this World Cup. The Canarian team occupies sixth place, and the Caribbean team is 83rd. Still at zero, the Haitians were beaten 1-0 in their debut by Scotland, in Boston. "We are talking about a World Cup. There will be no easy game. There are many balanced games, draws [between teams with different levels]. We have to be prepared emotionally and physically to deliver our best, knowing that it will be very difficult", concluded the full-back.
