Brazil head coach Carlo Ancelotti has placed his squad on high alert over the threat posed by Erling Haaland ahead of their FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 16 clash against Norway at the MetLife Stadium on Sunday — calling the Manchester City striker a “very, very dangerous forward.” Despite the warning, Ancelotti insisted he would not be implementing a specific anti-Haaland plan — instead emphasising that Brazil must focus on nullifying Norway’s well-organised side as a collective unit.
