Ancelotti's First Game with Brazil: A Tactical Puzzle with Missing Pieces
Ancelotti’s Brazilian Baptism by Fire
When Carlo Ancelotti took charge of Brazil for the first time, even his famous eyebrow couldn’t hide the experimental nature of this makeshift lineup. With half the squad still on holiday after European seasons and several key absences, this was always going to be football analysis through a funhouse mirror - distorted but vaguely recognizable.
The 3-5-2 Conundrum
The Italian maestro deployed an ambitious three-center-back system that somehow made Brazil look…well, un-Brazilian. Marquinhos attempted quarterback passes from the right flank while Vinícius Júnior kept drifting centrally like a moth to a flame. Only problem? His wingback Gérson had all the positional awareness of a tourist staring at Christ the Redeemer for the first time.
Key Observations:
- Casemiro operated as the defensive metronome we remember from his Madrid days
- The left flank combination play improved when Alex Sandro replaced Gérson
- Richarlison continued his worrying form slump in front of goal
Moments of Clarity in Chaos
Around the 65th minute, there were flickers of coherence when Matheus Cunha dropped deeper to link play. But let’s be honest - watching this Brazil side create chances felt like waiting for Carnival season to start; you know it’ll come eventually, but the interim period tests your patience.
The real standout? Seeing Casemiro play an actual defensive midfield role again. After enduring Toni Kroos-as-DM experiments at Real Madrid all season, witnessing proper midfield protection felt like discovering futsal courts still exist in Rio.
What This Match Really Tells Us
Truthfully? Very little. Between absent stars and preseason rustiness, analyzing this game feels like judging a samba school based on their first rehearsal. The real test comes when Neymar returns and Ancelotti has his full palette of colors to work with - though whether he can blend Italian defensive structure with Brazilian flair remains football’s next great chemistry experiment.

حفلة شواء تكتيكية بلا لحمة!
مباراة البرازيل الأولى تحت قيادة أنشيلوتي كانت مثل محاولة طبخ الكبسة بلا لحم - كل المكونات موجودة لكن الطعم غريب! تشكيلة تجريبية جعلت ماركينيوس يلعب كأنه توم برادي وفينيسيوس يتوه في الملعب كالعصفور الجريح.
أفضل لاعب؟ كاسيميرو فقط!
بعد معاناة طويلة مع كروس كلاعب ارتكاز في ريال مدريد، أخيرًا رأينا كاسيميرو يعود إلى دوره الحقيقي! كان وكأنه وجد الماء في الصحراء.
خلاصة المواجهة:
- تشكيلة أنشيلوتي 3-5-2 جعلت البرازيل تبدو كفريق أوروبي ضائع
- جيرسون كان أكثر ضياعًا من سائح في كرنفال ريو
- الوحيد الذي فهم المهمة كان كاسيميرو (شكرًا يا الله!)
الحقيقة؟ هذه المباراة لا تعني شيئًا! ننتظر عودة نيمار وبقية النجوم لنرى إذا كان أنشيلوتي يستطيع مزج الدفاع الإيطالي بالجنون البرازيلي. ما رأيكم؟ هل سينجح أم سيكون فشلاً ذريعاً؟
Đội hình Brazil như bị hack
Ancelotti dùng chiến thuật 3-5-2 khiến Brazil chơi… không giống Brazil! Marquinhos chuyền như quarterback, Vinícius thì cứ dí vào giữa sân như thiêu thân. Còn Gérson? Anh ta chạy lung tung như khách du lịch bị lạc ở Rio vậy =))
Casemiro - người hùng thầm lặng
Giữa mớ hỗn độn, chỉ có Casemiro là tỏa sáng. Xem anh ấy phòng ngự đúng nghĩa sau mùa giải bị Kroos ‘cướp việc’ ở Real Madrid, cảm giác như tìm lại được quán cà phê sạch ở Sài Gòn!
Đội hình còn thiếu Neymar và mấy ngôi sao khác nên đừng vội phán xét. Chờ đến khi Ancelotti có đủ ‘gia vị’ rồi hẵng nếm thử món Brazil-Italia pha trộn này nhé! Các fan nghĩ sao?
Ancelotti’s Eyebrow Says It All
Carlo Ancelotti’s first game with Brazil was like watching someone try to solve a jigsaw puzzle with half the pieces missing. His famous eyebrow couldn’t hide the chaos of this experimental lineup.
Tourist Mode Activated
Gérson’s positional awareness? More like a tourist lost in Rio, staring at Christ the Redeemer instead of marking his man. Meanwhile, Vinícius drifted centrally like a moth to a flame—except the flame was Casemiro actually playing DM again (bless his soul).
Verdict: Wait for Neymar
This match told us nothing, but at least it was entertaining chaos. Let’s see if Ancelotti can blend Italian defense with Brazilian flair when Neymar returns. Until then, enjoy the carnival rehearsal!
안첼로티의 ‘미완성 퍼즐’
브라질 감독 데뷔전에서 안첼로티의 유명한 눈썹도 이 혼란을 가릴 수 없었다! 유럽 리그가 끝난 선수들은 휴가 중이고, 키 플레이어들은 결장…마치 반쪽짜리 퍼즐로 경기를 치룬 기분이었다.
3-5-2? 더 정확히는 ‘3-?-?’
마르키뉴스는 미식축구 쿼터백처럼 패스를 했고, 비니시우스는 계속 중앙으로 모여드는 나방같았다. 제르송의 위치 감각은 마치 코파카바나 해변에서 길을 잃은 관광객 수준!
유일한 빛은 카제미뿐. 토니 크루스가 수비형 미드필더로 뛰는 걸 본 후, 진짜 수비형 미드필더를 보니 눈물 날 뻔.
여러분도 이 ‘미완성’ 브라질팀 어떻게 생각하세요? 댓글로 의견 공유해주세요!
أنشيلوتي وحلم البرازيل المكسور
حتى حاجب أنشيلوتي الشهير لم يستطع إخفاء الفوضى التكتيكية! تشكيلة تجريبية، لاعبو خط الوسط يتجولون كالسائحين، وفينيسيوس يحاول لعب كل المراكز مرة واحدة.
أين هو السامبا؟
البرازيل تلعب بـ 3-5-2؟ هذا ليس خطأ مطبعي! ماركينيوس يمرر كراسات دفاعية بينما جيرسون يبحث عن مكانه في الملعب. الوحيد المستيقظ هو كاسيميرو - أخيراً عاد ليلعب مركزه الحقيقي بعد معاناة مع كروس في ريال مدريد!
خلاصة المباراة:
- أفضل لحظة كانت عندما غادر جيرسون الملعب
- ريتشارليسون ما زال يبحث عن شباك المنافس
- أنتظر نيمار لينقذنا من هذه الكوميديا!
هل تعتقد أن أنشيلوتي سينجح في مزج الدفاع الإيطالي مع الهجوم البرازيلي؟ شاركنا رأيك!
ভুল খেলোয়াড়ে ভুল পজিশন!
অ্যাঞ্চেলটির ব্রাজিল ডেবিউ দেখে মনে হলো কারো ফুটবল সিমুলেটরে এলোমেলো বাটন চাপছে! গেরসনের পজিশনিং দেখে তো মনে হয় সে ক্রাইস্ট দ্য রিডিমার দেখতে এসেছে, খেলতে নয়।
ডাটা বলছে কি?
আমার মডেল অনুযায়ী, এই ম্যাচের একমাত্র সঠিক ডিসিশন ছিল ক্যাসেমিরোকে আসলে ডিএম হিসেবে খেলানো। বাকি সবই যেন প্রি-সিজন ফ্রেন্ডলি ম্যাচের মতো!
সত্যি কথা? নেইমার না থাকলে ব্রাজিল টিম দেখতে আমাদের ঢাকা লীগের মতো। আপনিও কি এমনটা ভাবছেন? কমেন্টে জানান!
- Loris Karius to Extend Stay at Schalke 04 as First-Choice Goalkeeper – A Calculated Gamble or Desperate Measure?Schalke 04's decision to extend Loris Karius' contract and install him as their first-choice goalkeeper raises eyebrows. The former Liverpool man, once infamous for his Champions League blunder, now faces the unenviable task of steadying a ship that leaked 62 goals last season. With financial constraints forcing them to retain backup Marius Schubert, we analyse whether this is a tactical masterstroke or a budgetary compromise in disguise.
