If someone says that victory, by the minimum count, from the Brazilian team over the Paraguayan meant a show worthy of the team’s past will be lying.
As much as the solid Guarani team came from nine unbeaten games, with five wins, against Argentina and Brazil, including, and it was rarely easy to win it, the display of Carlo Ancelotti’s team, received as Salvador da Pátria, was far from exciting.
Even so, he excited.
Which gives the measure how much the CBF team has been quoted to the ground floor with the fan and critics.
As much as it seemed wrong to withdraw Gerson from midfield, and climb Martinelli in the field of Vinicius Junior, was the best performance of Bruno Guimarães with the yellow shirt and, above all, an attack with no fixed, constant movement, capable of creating at least five clear goal chances, to the point of also making the score of only 1-0.
Vini, still far from being the star of Real Madrid, left his goal thanks to the persistence of Raphinha and, especially, Matheus Cunha, author of the final pass.
The defense took few risks, despite having to live with the fragility of the two sides, the biggest problem of the selection beyond the absence of the great shipowner, something we will live with and during the World Cup, unless, in the land where everything is planted, a phenomenon appears overnight.
The most important in the cold feerical night in Itaquera was to see the behavior of the fans and the team, the confidence transmitted from the stands to the lawn, miracle that can only be attributed to the celebrated Carlo Ancelotti, Carletto for the intimate, capable of infecting the ever -even critical of the São Paulo fan.
It is important to remember that the debut of the victorious Italian coach against the Brazilian fan was no better than that of Dorival Júnior, in Wembley, with a Brazilian victory over England also for the minimal count, followed by a beautiful draw 3-3, with Spain, in Santiago Bernabéu. From there …
Classification for the Guaranteed World Cup, as mandatory, Carletto will have ten games to arrive in North America with a team capable of competing and pleasing.
The most championship Brazilian team, five -time champion in its best days, was from Didi, Mané Garrincha, Pelé, Romário, Ronaldos.
It has never been Vicente Feola, Aymoré Moreira, Zagallo, Parreira or Felipão, although it is due to each of them a lot.
Paradoxically, even defeated, he had a time to be the team of Telê Santana – which Ancelotti gives signs of being able to repeat by returning with sympathy and seduction to the fan who gave him his hand.
For us to have an Angelotti era, so that the ancelotism or carletism will take care of the country, it will be necessary to have patience and faith.
Patience because he has just arrived and faith because in just one year it is difficult to set up a selection capable of winning Argentina, Spain, France, Portugal, to quote only four that are ready and are better than the Brazilian.
Demanding the hexacelotti hexacal championship makes no sense and, if he can, will be canonized as they are Carletto.
Slowly with the Andor, however, because there are saints of clay.
