World Cup Chronicles
Brazil is an ad hoc project. Brazil was a team trained by their former manager, Dorival Júnior. Brazil had issues qualifying, and they were bad, losing many football matches. There was even a possibility that they would not qualify from a comfortable group. They sacked Dorival Júnior and signed Carlo Ancelotti.
Carlo Ancelotti became the manager and started living in Brazil to improve the team and understand the mentality. It has to be said that this is the first time Carlo Ancelotti has managed a national team.
Carlo Ancelotti has won trophies and Champions League titles, but throughout that time, the teams he won the UCL with were usually much better than their opponents.
This is a fact.
Ancelotti has arrived, but Brazil’s problems have not vanished. Their old teams and players were much better than this current generation. When you compare the teams from 2002 to today’s team, there is a huge difference.
Those were all players who were among the strongest in the world in their positions, while Ancelotti now has to operate with Paquetá and Douglas Santos. It is still unclear what Raphinha’s position is.
Former Brazilian players like Kaká, Ronaldo, and Roberto Carlos were the best in the world during their time. They were players who could not be stopped. Nowadays, Brazil lacks quality, and their players no longer play Samba football.
You cannot compare Roberto Carlos or Maicon to Paqueta and other players of this generation. Brazilians are no longer talented enough, and other nations are better at football.
I am talking about the facts and essence of the situation!
They simply fill positions because they have to.
“We do not expect success from Brazil in the USA, Canada, and Mexico.”
We predict very poor tournaments with few players playing great. Collectively, as a team, Brazil is far from brilliant
Taking in Ancelotti, who was close to retiring, shows you that they are trying with him to wake up Vinicius Junior, just like Real does.
And give him a chance to try with this team.
“Ancelotti is one of the greats in that area in working with players and understanding.”
For those who follow football closely, we do not need to say it, but Brazil could have been eliminated in qualification, and they are a future power that could fall very low.
The team is far from perfect. Even Bruno Guimarães has flaws in his game. Brazil’s options are not great, and it is understandable why they are trying with Ancelotti, who can build chemistry and quality.
Brazil also lost the Copa America final two years ago, and they were beaten by Argentina again.
Implementing Ancelotti as manager tells us that they are not in a good position or shape.
The players are no longer strong and do not have character. These are players who are not progressing, and that is a real pandemic in football today.
That is why Carlo Ancelotti is to speak to understand, to explain, to fix, to improve. And now Ancelotti lives in Brazil for real. Brazil need Ancelotti, and he is there for Brazil.
The Brazilian defence does not promise much, and calling up Fabinho tells you the real issues Carlo Ancelotti has in Brazil.
Raphinha has been weak ever since people started talking about him as a Ballon d’Or candidate.
Brazil cannot win the World Cup, and the players of Brazil do not have enough character. Ancelotti has to be very strict and insist on quality for this World Cup.
Brazil and Ancelotti will find chemistry, but time will be needed, and many moves by Ancelotti will have to be made that are not popular with fans and the public.
Just as Thomas Tuchel did with England.
You wanted Ancelotti, and here is mister Carlo Ancelotti.
