Despite a far-from-thrilling match between Ecuador and Brazil, there was still room for a lighthearted moment.
Details: “Papa Carlo” is a well-known chewing gum enthusiast. He constantly chews gum throughout every match, no matter how his team is performing.
Last night, the clash between Ancelotti’s squad and Sebastián Beccacece’s side was so uneventful that journalists turned their attention to a truly pressing issue—counting the chewing gums consumed by Carlo in those 90 minutes.
Amusingly, while both teams struggled in vain to break through each other's defenses, Ancelotti managed to go through a whopping 8 gums—averaging one every 11 minutes.
Alas, neither team managed to get on the scoresheet, leaving Ancelotti’s “gum hunt” as the most memorable and talked-about moment of the encounter.
Reminder: Ancelotti has promised that soon everyone will see the best version of Vinicius in the Brazil national team.
