“Silver Bullet” in the troubled cycle and Hope for Hexa, the coach prepares the “Cascudo” time for the first game with Brazil on Thursday against Ecuador in Guayaquil
It is difficult to find a football fan that is not anxious to see the Brazil In front of the 20h Ecuador, this Thursday. This is because the departure to Guayaquil for World Cup qualifiers Marks the coach’s debut Carlo AncelottiOne of the most victorious in history, as a new champion of the champion five times. With a year left for the World Cup, Hexa’s dream begins with the Italian coach who tries to give a team a new face with old fans.
At 65, Ancelotti is facing one of the most important challenges of his career. The Italian is seen as the silver bullet for a turbulent cycle cycle with four coaches – two of which are Interinos – and the hope of the country’s return to the highest place of world football. For this, the coach surrounded himself with “Cascudos” athletes in his first call.
The trend is for Ancelotti to take the field against Ecuador a team with two players who did not play in the national team. Is the steering wheel Casemir33, exception in the bad season of Manchester United and in the Italian man of Italian confidence in Real Madrid and the striker Richarlison28, recent Europa League champion for Tottenham and prominent under the command of the coach at the time they worked in Everton.
Who should also appear among the 11 initials is the left back Alex Sandro34 years. The player left Europe and moved to Flamengo in the middle of last year. The lack of athletes in position and the vast experience in Europe have guaranteed him the vacant place. The situation applies to Danilo, 33 years old, who continued to be convened despite the reproach of the fans and now fights with the debutant Alexsandro for the space in the defender.
One of Dorival’s successes, after many attempts and errors, the duo formed by Bruno Guimarães and Gerson should keep Casemiro in the middle. The suspension of Raphinha, added to the injury of the absent Rodrygo, should make room for Stephen to appear at the right end.
Brazil must go to the field with Alisson; Vanderson, Marquino, Alexsandro (Danilo) and Alex Sandro; Casemiro, Bruno Guimarães and Gerson; Stephen, Richarlison and Vini Jr. The sum of the games for the selection of the probable Ancelotti team is 425. If Danilo, who has already played on the left side of the defense, is starting, the number goes up to 490.
Comparing Ancelotti’s probable formation with the team that was beaten 4-1 by Argentina, the last match of the national team, the number drops to 244. At that time, Brazil was chosen by Dorival Júnior with Benedict; Wesley, Marquino, Murillo and Guilherme Arana; André, Joelinton, Raphinha, Rodrygo and Vini Jr; Matheus cunha. Alisson was suspended from the brain emotion.
One of Ancelotti’s work brands is the flexibility of working with different tactical formations, choosing the platform that best suits the cast instead of defining a scheme and therefore adapting players to a style. Over the past four years, Italian has accumulated several ways to practice football.
Ancelotti must choose 4-3-3 Before the Ecuador, but the scheme could even become a 4-4-2 Depending on Stephen’s positioning, which can be moved to midfield to play like a “T -shirt 10?”
It is interesting to note that the prodigy of Palmeirense, which goes to Chelsea after the club’s world cup, has never been an appetizer for the national team. So, although it is very likely that athletes more reasons, such as Matheus Cunha, who has had a great season for Wolverhampton and has been hired by Manchester United, may appear to be used.
The expectation is that Brazil can protect the place in the 2026 World Cup already in this round of qualifying. The selection occupies the fourth place with 21 points in 14 games – a 50%use. If you win the games against Ecuador and Paraguay, the team reaches 27 and at least guarantees participation in the summary.
The national team will return to San Paolo Friday, when he resumes training at the CT Joaquim Grava. Tuesday, Brazil faces Paraguay, at the new Chemistry Arena, in Itaquera.
Ecuador in great phase, but undue appropriation
Ecuador lives a good moment in qualifying. The national team led by the Argentine Sebastián Becacece has lost only two games and occupies the vice-leader with 23 points, behind only Argentina, with 31 years old. A victory can guarantee Ecuadorians in the World Cup.
The Ecuadorians phase for the clash regardless of the debut of Carlo Ancelotti. “We respect Brazil for everything he has done, throughout his story, but in the field, in the end, it is 11 against 11, and we are confident that we will do things as we have done so far,” said the midfielder of Chelsea Moisés Caicedo, one of the highlights of Ecuador.
The coach Becacece will not have the striker Gonzalo Plata available. The player recovers from the knee injury and even presented himself to the date of Fifa, rotating the direction of Flamengo. The Rio Club informed the athlete’s situation, which returned to Brazil to continue the treatment.
Who can also appropriate Ecuador’s appropriation is the center forward Enner Valencia. The international player underwent a muscle injury in early May and still looks for the best physical conditions.
