Brazilian team: The big mistake of the game with Morocco – 03/26/2023 – PVC

Ramon Menezes put together an aggressive team against Morocco. He scored pressure on the opponent’s output and made eight of his 17 ball recoveries in the attacking field. He created opportunities, had a goal disallowed by Vinicius Júnior, chosen as a striker, alongside Rodrygo. “They have a very quick transition, especially on the right side,” explained Ramon.

In other words, the coach chose Paquetá to mark Hakimi and released Vinicius to create.

One minute after Vini’s disallowed goal, Morocco made it 1 x 0. Error by Émerson Royal. Until then, Brazil played well.

Eight minutes after Casemiro’s equalizer, Sabiri made it 2 x 1. Failure by Militão.

Ramon Menezes is not responsible for the loss to Morocco.

CBF is.

Since December, it has been heard that the Fifa date of March is meaningless and that, therefore, Brazil could have an interim coach.

It turns out that, for the first time in history, the team lost twice in a row against African countries.

In Qatar, he suffered the first defeat in World Cups for a team that was neither South American nor European — 0 x 1 Cameroon.

Now to Morocco.

It is not right to expose the brand of the Brazilian team. It is increasingly evident that Ednaldo Rodrigues is waiting for Carlo Ancelotti. There is no certainty that the Italian will accept to direct Brazil. The next FIFA date is in June, six days after the Champions League final.

The Real Madrid coach is unlikely to be on the bench, especially if his team reaches yet another European final. And there? Are you going to improvise again?

The under-20 World Cup ends on June 11. If the selection wins its sixth title, it may even be awarded again. Its prestige will be close to zero if Brazil is eliminated early.

Mortal sin is all about public opinion. Many people loved the selection of players who play in Brazil, mixed with South American junior champions, with few veterans and without Neymar due to injury.

Cult of improvisation.

The new national team needs an experienced coach, prepared for the pressure of competitions, willing to recover the national team’s image in the world. The transition from Neymar’s generation to that of Rodrygo and Vinicius Júnior is important. There should be no more ruptures, like when Ronaldinho withdrew, Kaká was injured and the transition to the Neymar generation took place without an experienced partner in attack.

It was different when the baton passed from Romário to Ronaldo. Much less trauma.

Everything at this moment recalls the exit from the 1990 World Cup, when the intention was to break with the past. There’s no way to look into the future without carrying recent mistakes. Brazil comes from 6th place in Russia, in 2018, and 7th in Qatar, in 2022. These are the worst rankings after 9th, in 1990, and 11th, in 1966.

If Ancelotti comes, it will be great. The CBF is not prepared for the negative response. In conversations with players he trains and has trained, the Italian said he really liked the selection poll, he loves the idea, but he will only leave Real Madrid if he is fired. “Io sono anzianotto”, he said in an interview with RAI radio, claiming that he is almost old.

What looks old is football in Brazil. Not on the field, but off it, with decisions to please public opinion and which expose the selection to improvisation.

LONELY

There are more and more frequent comments that Ednaldo Rodrigues makes decisions in isolation. The departure of Fernando Sarney from the post he held at FIFA is one of these signs. Not that he needs the old foxes, but you can’t manage such a giant football with a single head.

THE BEST

The example to follow in the Brazilian Championship is English. Among the selections, that of France. Forget Argentina, the beautiful episode in Qatar that took them to the title. The most solid structure for training and consolidating a national team is in Paris. The thrashing of the Netherlands again showed the best team on the planet.
