The passport issue: How Ederson was urgently called up to the Brazilian national team for the World Cup

Atlanta’s midfielder Ederson found himself in an unusual situation just before he was called up to the national team. Carlo Anchietti made an urgent decision to call up Ederson as a replacement for the injured Wesley. However, the player’s journey to the United States for training became a real challenge.

At the time of the call-up from the national team’s headquarters, Ederson was on vacation in his hometown of Campo Grande. That evening, he attended a wedding of a close friend. In the morning, he woke up under a barrage of messages from the Brazilian Football Federation. The situation became even more complicated because Ederson’s passport was in another city. While Ederson’s wife rushed to pack his belongings, Ederson’s friends rushed to get the documents for him, so that he wouldn’t miss the flight.

“This kind of stress before a tournament really strengthens a person’s character,” said those around Ederson. “The important thing is that all the logistical issues were resolved within a short time, and that the player can join the team without any delays.”

For Anchietti, Ederson was a strategic choice. His experience in Serie A, his versatility on the field, and his knowledge of tactics made him a valuable addition to the team. Now that all the formalities are taken care of, the focus shifts to preparing for the matches. The Brazilian national team understands that the pressure of the tournament will be immense, but such urgent calls-ups often serve as a catalyst for motivation.

It is expected that Ederson will start his training sessions in the United States this week, and he will be ready to participate in the next matches for the national team.
