Really effective! Each team: Ancelotti has laid the defensive stability for Brazil, not missing a goal in two games

June 11th, Brazil defeated Paraguay 1-0 and advanced to the 2026 US, Canada and Mexico World Cup two rounds ahead of schedule. Ancelotti won the first victory in coaching the Brazilian national team! The Spanish media Daily Sports Daily reported on the situation of this game.

Ancelotti achieved his primary goal to avoid the continued suffering of Brazil in the South American qualifiers before the international match day in September. At the same time, Ancelotti has begun to lay the foundation, and its core lies in the stability of its defense. Currently, under the coach of Ancelotti, Brazil has not lost a single goal in the first two games.

Similar to what Real Madrid did last season, Ancelotti arranged a set of highly mobile offensive four-man teams, the most eye-catching arrangement was that Vinicius served as the "pseudo-Nine" position, with three partners beside him: Rafinia released the ban and returned to replace the "prodigy" Estewan; Cunia replaced Richarlison; Martineli replaced Flamengo player Gerson and appeared in the left winger position where he was good at. In the

game, Brazil dominated and launched an offensive without any scruples, trying to continuously suppress through continuous transposition. Especially with Cunya's frequent running, he appeared in almost all positions in the offensive area. Rafinia on the right and Martinelli on the left were separated from the wings, and were constantly supported by two full-backs with strong coverage, especially Wanderson, who has been performing positively.

Ancelotti's good tactical intention was blocked by the Paraguayan iron barrel formation for a long time, and the opponent hoarded heavy troops in front of the goal. The Brazilian's proactive attitude, tactical versatility and regional control advantages have not been transformed into high-intensity and smooth pass-and-receive cooperation, which has made Paraguay's destructive play easy to implement.

In the end, the Brazilian team finally broke the deadlock in an offense, and this cooperation can clearly see Ancelotti's tactical mark. Rafinia launched an offensive at the right front line. After a rebound, the ball fell at Cunia's feet and he sent a precise cross from near the bottom line. Vinicius cleverly grabbed the two central defenders and scored the first goal of Brazil's Ancelotti era in the penalty area.

The Brazilian team was in control and had absolute control in the second half, but lacked vitality and precision to complete the fatal blow, resulting in a series of mistakes. When Paraguay once believed that he had a chance, Ancelotti adjusted in time and the team regained control.
