There is a consensus that Italian Ancelotti, champion in several countries, is a great coach, although some think the coach of the national team should be a Brazilian. Others think that he has never been a selection coach to harm him, especially in another country.
Ancelotti has already shown that he adapts very well to different circumstances and has a good relationship with players, leaders, fans and sports press.
As good as it is, there is no certainty that the team will make a quality leap. Performance and results depend on many factors, such as the quality of players, opponents and numerous predictable and unpredictable details.
Selection problems are not just collectives. There is a lack on the sides, midfield and center forward position. When I say this, I do not compare with the stars of these positions present in the history of Brazilian football, but with current players of these positions of other strong selections.
As all also have disabilities, Brazil is always a candidate to win a world title. If I improve with Ancelotti, the chances increase.
In the call there were no big surprises. There are many other players about the same level as some that have been called. Casemiro must be the holder. Ancelotti knows him well and has his leadership and experience, besides being good in air moves, defensive and offensive, an increasingly decisive practice in football.
I repeat: As football today requires much more mobility from midfield players, who mark, build and advance, I prefer to see more centralized casemiro in the protection of defenders, forming a trio with a midfielder from each side that acts from one intermediate to another. This facilitates the advancement of the sides.
Another Ancelotti option is to work with two steering wheels and two ends that come back to mark, forming a quartet in protecting the four defenders, as well as a centralized offensive sock and a center forward.
Bruno Guimarães, the best of Brazilian midfielders, acts with much more quality in Newcastle than in the national team because the English team plays with a steering wheel for the center and a midfielder on each side (Bruno Guimarães and Joelinton). Bruno marks, gives great passes and advances very efficiently. In the selection he has been just a marking steering wheel.
The best of Ancelotti’s press conference when asked what his play philosophy is and if he prefers the most purposeful or more reactive style, he replied, wisely and simply, that he has no philosophy, that his team plays according to the moment and characteristics and qualities of his players and opponents and that the best strategy is the best executed. Ancelotti deeply knows the obvious.
Ancelotti’s celebrated hiring is also contradictory. At the same time as there is a national desire, a longing utopia that Brazil returns to its origins and playing charming football and showing, Ancelotti represents modern, practical football that associates talent with strategy and discipline.
So are football and life. We are all contradictory, some more than others.
