The Italian coach bets on the synergy between the cast and the technical staff to look for the victory against Paraguay Tuesday, to the new Chemistry Arena, for the qualifications
Who had the opportunity to follow the activities of selection In the last few days he has found a change in the environment. The arrival of the famous coach Carlo Ancelotti He made his mood lighter, but no less professional. The new commander of Brazil bets right in the synergy between the cast and the technical committee to seek victory in the duel with the Paraguay This Tuesday, in a match of the 16th round of South American qualifications to 2026 World Cup. The ball rolls at 9:45 pm, at the new Chemistry Arena, in the east area of San Paolo.
Ancelotti was hired to be CBF’s “Silver Bullet” after a very tumultuous cycle, with changes in the management of the entity and several changes in the technical command. Despite the pressure, the Multi -Champion coach, who has never formed a previously selection, claims to have found a very enthusiastic group to regain the team’s self -esteem.
“I am happy to talk about the environment. The formation of a selection is something new for me. The locker room is very motivated, it is very professional. The players have a good connection with the staff. It is a very familiar environment,” said Ancelotti in a press conference on the eve of the duel with Paraguay.
“I know the importance I have for the selection. I don’t say I am calm, because we can never be calm, but we have the resources to do things well this year,” said the Italian. “What I have been able to see in these days has been a lot of love and a lot of passion. This increases responsibility, but I have a serious environment and I am convinced that we will be able to do a good job.”
After debuting with a tie without goals against Ecuador in Guayaquil, Ancelotti will manage the national team for the first time in the country. Brazil will enter the field already knowing the result of Venezuela, which will face Uruguay away from home. If the Venezuelans have lost, only a victory in Italy for the vacant place to print.
The team that goes on the pitch against Paraguay is saved seven keys from Ancelotti, but should not be very different from what Ecuador had to face. The main change is the return of Raphinha, which returns from the suspension and will begin among the owners. The information was confirmed by the Italian coach himself.
“At the moment it is one of the best football players. His presence will be very important to help in our classification,” said Ancelotti. “Raphinha is very mobile and will be very important to unlock the game.”
Raphinha lives a great moment with the Barcelona shirt and is mentioned in the fight for the Golden Ball, a prize of the French football magazine to the best player in the world. With the striker who begins among the 11 initials, the trend is to leave Stephen from the right wing. Those who can also lose their place among the owners is Richarlison, whose favorite to replace it is Matheus Cunha. In this way, the scheme will be maintained with three midfielders and three in front.
Paraguay motivated
Tackling Brazil away from home is always an ungrateful mission, but Paraguay could not be less motivated. The national team comes from a 2-0 victory over Uruguay in Asuncion and sent the place to the World Cup. The men of the coach Gustavo Alfaro are in the third position of qualifications, with the same 24 points as the Ecuador Vice Leader, and can also benefit from a venezuela arrest trip if they improve in Itaquera.
“These are the types of games in which we have everything to earn and nothing to lose,” said Alfaro. “I arrived in Paraguay convinced that we could qualify for the World Cup. We are very close to getting it,” Alfaro said in a press conference.
Paraguay was unbeaten for nine games under the command of Alfaro, with five wins and four draws and only six goals granted. The Paraguasians hit Brazil 1-0 in Asuncion in the first round of last September. However, the coach knows that he will find a different opponent on Tuesday.
“If we lose, what happens? Nothing. We will try again against Ecuador.”
