The U23 national team coach reached out to Samuele Inácio and his father wanting to discuss joining the Brazilian National Team, a request from the CBF that led to a serious conversation where every option got weighed before he made his call. even though representing Brazil would be a dream alongside playing for Italy since he has both sides in his heritage, the decision landed on Italy because at this moment he feels more Italian after always having played for the youth teams of ITALY. with a Brazilian father and an upbringing in Europe, the biggest dream for him remains winning a World Cup with ITALY rather than taking the other path.
