Brazilian Team Under Carlo Ancelotti's Guidance Takes on New Dimension
The Brazilian selection, under the guidance of former Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti, has taken on a new dimension in the game, particularly in attack, where no defense seems to be able to resist them.
The Press —
Ancelotti's 4-4-2 scheme, as opposed to the 4-3-3 that cost them two defeats against Japan and Bolivia, is starting to bear fruit. From a technical standpoint, the current list of 26 players selected by Ancelotti includes some new faces, notably left-back Luciano Juba from Bahia, as well as the return of striker Vitor Roque from Palmeiras and midfielder Fabinho from Al-Ittihad Jeddah.
Although these players did not participate in the match against Senegal, Ancelotti may choose to give them playing time, even though Fabinho is an established and experienced player.
A New Era for the Brazilian Team
The Carlo Ancelotti era is taking a new turn, with a revitalized team that has achieved 4 victories in 7 matches, offering a promising blend of world-class stars and young talents on the rise.
Key Players and Notable Returns
The team's backbone is ensured by established players on the European scene. In midfield, the duo of Casemiro from Manchester United and Bruno Guimarães from Newcastle is expected to provide solidity and control. The return of Fabinho, who has been absent from the Seleçao for a long time, offers an additional high-quality defensive option. Lucas Paquetá, who plays for West Ham, completes this sector with his versatility and ability to project himself.
In defense, the pillars Marquinhos and Eder Militão form a reference central axis. It's on the attacking front that we find the spark and speed characteristic of Brazilian football. Vinicius Junior, with his sense of goal and stunning dribbles, is the main offensive threat.
He will be supported by his Madrid teammate, Rodrygo, whose versatility and ability to pierce defenses will be major assets. The lanky Richarlison from Tottenham, a figurehead of the Brazilian attack with 20 goals in 54 caps, will also be present to occupy the point.
As for Matheus Cunha from Manchester United, who hit the post against Senegal, he offers a powerful option for the offensive sector. Ancelotti confirms his intention to prepare for the future by integrating young prodigies. Estêvão Willian, an 18-year-old winger with already recognized potential, made a name for himself against Senegal with a stunning goal, his 4th in 10 selections, testifying to the coach's confidence.
The upcoming match against Tunisia is far from being a mere formality. It represents a physical and tactical challenge for the Seleção, against a seasoned North African team.
