Brazil’s center-back Roger Ibanez is prepared to step in as a right-back for the FIFA World Cup if needed by manager Carlo Ancelotti. The uncertainty arises following Wesley Franca’s injury ruling him out of the tournament, with veteran Danilo likely to start in the opening match against Morocco.
Ibanez, who was previously deployed in the right-back position by Ancelotti against Croatia, expressed readiness for any role required. Despite competing for positions, Ibanez praised Danilo and highlighted their positive relationship within the team.
Acknowledging the trend of using central defenders in wider roles, Ibanez emphasized his adaptability to support the attack if necessary. Confident in his defensive abilities, he affirmed his readiness to play wherever the team needs him.
