Brazil head coach Carlo Ancelotti has underlined Danilo's importance to his 2026 World Cup plans, stressing that the veteran defender brings major value both on and off the pitch.
Ancelotti previously said Danilo is a very important player because of his character, personality and style of play, as well as his ability to operate in several defensive positions.
Danilo represents one of the experienced figures in the Brazil squad, having earned dozens of international appearances and played for major clubs across Europe and South America.
Ancelotti believes Brazil need talent to win the World Cup, but also require a strong defensive base, making clear that an attacking game alone is not enough to decide a tournament of this scale.
The comments place Danilo in an important position within Brazil's technical plans before the tournament, as the Selecao look to chase a record-extending sixth world title amid fierce competition.
