Finally, even the ufanists and those who love to climb many strikers have discovered the obvious: that you can’t face strong selections, such as Argentina, with only two midfield players, isolated, disconnected from attack and defense. This formation usually works against much lower adversaries that will only defend themselves to try to counterattack.
Matches against Colombia and Argentina once again showed some individual selection deficiencies; on the sides, midfield and center forward position. The consolation is that all other major selections have problems.
The story is repeated. The 4×1 is similar to 7×1 against Germany. Brazil also had many strikers and only two in midfield, lost, without marking and without building. If Argentina had Messi and did not call the fans, could have scored three more goals. Germany and Argentina, with many midfielders, walked on the field. The two selections exchanged passes, stayed with the ball and advanced in block.
The story is repeated. Brazil was eliminated from the 2022 World Cup by Croatia because there was a blackout at the end of the game, failed to charge penalties and because, during the match, he watched Croatia exchange passes with its brilliant midfielders against two players from Brazil in midfield. In addition, Paquetá went to the attack and left Casemiro alone.
In that World Cup, by eliminating Croatia, Argentina used the same training she had against Brazil last Tuesday (25), with a centrally centered midfielder and a line of three midfielders in front of the steering wheel, as well as Messi between the four and the center forward. Against Brazil, Almada replaced Messi.
In fact, one of the qualities of Argentina is to vary tactical design since the first game of the 2022 World Cup, according to the moment and the opponent. The national team of Brazil, as well as most Brazilian teams, almost always plays in the same scheme, with two steering wheels, a centralized offensive sock, two ends and a center forward.
Brazilian coaches, from the grassroots categories, look for the connecting socks (shirt 10) and the quick and dribbling ends and forget to form the midfielders who act from one intermediate to another, who mark, build and attack. Confuse midfielders with offensive socks. As the big European teams are compact, there is no need to have the connection sock just to create plays. Midfielders mark as steering wheels and advance as socks.
The national team and Brazilian teams still cannot make routine, throughout the match, the pressure throughout the field about who is with the ball and who will receive it. The team did not play and let Argentina play.
It’s time for the selection to change. It is necessary to reinvent new paths. The experience is relative. Repeating for years the same concepts and conduct is an emptiness, a delay.
To paraphrase writer Pedro Nava, the experience is like a headlight from a back -back car. Ahead is still dark.
There are many good options to command the Brazilian team. I prefer the technical knowledge and nonconformity of the young Philip Luís.
