Carlo Ancelotti colocou o lateral-esquerdo Luciano Juba, um dos principais nomes do elenco do Bahia, na pré-lista da Seleção para os amistosos da próxima Data Fifa. A convocação final sai nesta quinta-feira, com 26 nomes, e o Brasil enfrentará Japão e Singapura.
O momento é bom. No último sábado, ele deixou a sua marca no empate com o Santos, com um chute de fora da área que garantiu o gol do Bahia.
É o artilheiro do time no Campeonato Brasileiro, com onze gols, e aparece em quarto lugar entre os goleadores da Série A, empatado com Kaio Jorge e Carlos Vinícius. Apenas Viveros, Pedro e Gabigol têm mais gols que ele.
A temporada também rendeu entradas em listas históricas do clube: são 23 gols pelo Bahia desde 2023, o que o coloca como segundo defensor com mais gols pelo Tricolor.
Juba já foi chamado por Ancelotti em 2025 e integrou a pré-lista da Copa do Mundo deste ano. Tem 27 anos e contrato com o Bahia até 2029.
O calendário dos amistosos: Brasil x Japão em 14 de novembro de 2026, um sábado, às 7h15 de Brasília; Singapura x Brasil em 17 de novembro de 2026, uma terça-feira, às 7h de Brasília.
A delegação deve desembarcar no Brasil em 19 de novembro, antevéspera da 36ª rodada. Já nos bastidores da CBF, a ideia é atrapalhar o mínimo possível a reta final dos clubes, e por isso a tendência é chamar apenas quem os clubes liberarem. Nomes de atletas cujos times ainda brigam por algo decisivo no Brasileirão dificilmente aparecerão na lista.
