Constant defense, Vini Jr. Increased and support of fans support the good start of Italian work
On the first appointment Fifa by commanding the BrazilianItalian Carlo Ancelotti has planted important seeds that can produce fruits to the national team up to 2026 World Cup. This Tuesday, Brazil has stamped the passport towards the World Cup by beating Paraguay, 1-0, to the new Chemistry Arena.
One of the main difficulties in Brazil during the qualifications of the World Cup focused on the defense. The team had conceded 16 goals in 14 games. For the first time in qualifications, the Brazilian goal has not been leaked. Ancelotti has maintained the defensive line with Vanderson, Marquino, Alexsandro and Alex Sandro in the games with Paraguay and Ecuador. Lille Alexsandro is the pleasant surprise of this call. For the first time he wore the “Hopscotch” and came out to applaud his debut.
The attack was also more creative in the game with Paraguay. Ancelotti changed the tactical pattern, opened by the midfield with three wheel steering wheels and put a boy to help build attacks with Martinelli, Matheus Cunha and Vinícius Júnior.
Wine Jr, by the way, gave the boys back to the Brazilian team again. He scored the first goal of “Era Ancelotti” in Paraguay. After a long job with Italian at Real Madrid, the striker hopes to find success with the national team. However, with the yellow card received on Tuesday, it is the embezzlement for the next qualifying match.
If Vini Jr. will not be on the field against Chile in September, Ancelotti will be able to count on the return of other acquaintances. Rodrygo, Stephen and even Éder Militão, who have undergone a serious knee injury in November 2024, can return to calls.
The slender score may have made the feeling that the selection can still produce more with Ancelotti. The errors in completing the comedies were determining for Brazil so as not to obtain a victory in the capital.
Ranked, Brazil will only play on 9 or 10 September against Chile. The trend is that the game is played in Maracanã, in Rio. Ancelotti would like to guide the national team in the most emblematic phase of football at least once before the World Cup. “It is positive that the whole country has the opportunity to see the Brazilian team. This feeds national passion. It is something we want to do,” said Ancelotti.
After dealing with the Chilean eliminated, Brazil will end the dispute of qualifications at the Bolivian altitude. Bolivia sent its games to El Alto, a city whose altitude is 4,150 meters. The Bolivian national team still contested with Venezuela a place in the intercontinental summary.
Both against Chile and Bolivia, Ancelotti will not have the level opponents who would like to measure the potential of the Brazilian team. Also so, Italian will try to extract as much as possible from a FIFA data to meet the table. Brazil will still make friendly in October and November, probably against the opponents of Africa, Asia and Europe, including Real Madrid.
Another reason for doubts in the selection is Neymar. “Neymar can play everywhere on the field. You can play like 10 or in the position you win Jr. played (left),” explains Ancelotti. The Santos player was out of this call, he spoke to Italian and can return when he is 100%. In this cycle, from the Qatar Cup, there were rare moments in which the athlete was totally ready for a game for the national team.
