Ancelotti can make a happy marriage with Brazil – 06/18/2023 – PVC

The most important part of Brazil’s defeat of Guinea, on Saturday (17), did not appear in the tactical part, but in the social part. To the racist attack suffered by Vinicius Junior and repeated against his friend, Felipe Silveira, at the entrance to the Espanyol stadium, the response was with argument and intelligence.

With dribbling and goals.

More than that, with four marked by proudly black players: Joelinton, Rodrygo, Militão and Vinicius Junior. The latter closed the rout with the symbolic scene of receiving the ball from captain Casemiro, to take the penalty to celebrate for the historically most diverse team on the planet.

From a tactical point of view, the 4-3-3 system used by Ramon Menezes is not very different from what Carlo Ancelotti has been using in his latest experiences. It is not possible to believe that the technician will come, but the CBF speaks more and more with optimism about the agreement for next year.

Ancelotti began his career as an assistant to Arrigo Sacchi in the Italy national team. He was on the bench as an assistant to the transformative Italian coach, whom he met while managing Parma in the Emilia Romagna region where Ancelotti was born. Later, the current Real Madrid coach was mentored by Sacchi at AC Milan, two-time European champions, before becoming his assistant.

Arrigo is one of his great references and also one of Guardiola’s inspirations, although he is much more connected to the ideas of Johan Cruyff and Marcelo Bielsa.

Intermediate spells at Parma and Juventus, with three Italian vice-championships, before heading to Milan where he established himself and stayed eight seasons, with two Champions Leagues and one Serie A under his belt.

He was never a convinced striker like Arrigo Sacchi. He always prized the defense-attack balance, which provoked Tite’s admiration. Curious to replace the coach of the last two World Cups with someone who inspires him.

The most enthusiastic statement by Ancelotti is offered, in Brazil, by Kaká. He always claimed to have been the best coach of his career, managed by Osvaldo Alvarez, Osvaldo de Oliveira, Carlos Alberto Parreira, Luiz Felipe Scolari, Dunga, José Mourinho, Manuel Pellegrini, Massimiliano Allegri, Clarence Seedorf and Muricy Ramalho.

Ancelotti is the best, for Kaká, for his ability to manage squads and vanities. Tactically, by enabling the best players to play their best roles.

Upon arriving in Milan, the Brazilian star found a team with two forwards, Shevchenko and Filippo Inzaghi. He was used right behind both of them, as a center forward. After losing the Ukrainian to Chelsea in 2006, Ancelotti formed a pyramid-shaped system to have Kaká and Seedorf in front of three midfielders to arm Inzaghi.

The Brazilian gained a little more freedom than the Dutchman and, as the second striker, had his most brilliant season, voted best player on the planet.

Ancelotti is not a genius, like Guardiola.

It’s a sage.

Discreet, he always tried to make his best players able to express all their talent. If you accept the Brazilian team, as the CBF makes you believe, it could be a happy marriage. But Brazil needs to work hard to train a new generation of great technicians here.

DOUBTS
It is not possible to believe that Real Madrid will passively accept knowing that their coach is already agreed with another team, if in fact this can be announced. In Italy, there are still many people with doubts about the decision of the coach who now lives in Spain and lives between Milan, Madrid and Vancouver, Canada.

THE VICTORY
Apart from the fight against racism, winning Guinea means nothing from a sporting point of view. But it’s good for the national team to gain strength and know that there’s no shortage of talent. Rodrygo is increasingly mature and Vinicius Junior assumes a leading position. Neymar can still help. He will not be the only protagonist.
