Brazilians really ate the scales and ironed their hearts. For the sake of Ancelotti, it is better to wait another year.

The world's first football kingdom, putting down its body to pursue a foreign coach is equivalent to one day, the Chinese table tennis team is a foreign coach, and the position is high for a year. For him, the Brazilians have already quarreled into a pot of porridge, and even President Lula personally came to the end: why didn't he coach Italy and not solve Italy's problems? Italy did not even qualify for the World Cup.

In the history of the Brazilian national team, there have been no foreign coaches, there have been Uruguayan Platero in 1925, Portuguese Joreka in 1944, and most recently Filipe Núñez in 1965, but these people are only one or two agents, such as Núñez, when he coached Palmeiras, Brazil vs Uruguay in 1965 "Intercontinental Cup friendly", Brazil simply went directly to Palmeiras to represent the national team, and in 1987 the Chinese team designated the Liaoning team as the "national yellow team" It's one thing to go to Australia in the name.

These acting foreign coaches are not real managers. A manager in the strict sense refers to a coach whose contract is at least two years, with one major tournament (Brazil is of course the Copa America) and the highest goal being the World Cup. If Carlo Ancelotti does say yes, it will be the first in Brazilian football history.

In terms of coaching achievements, Carlo Ancelotti is indeed the best manager in the world, along with Pep Guardiola, and any ambitious team will consider the best manager, the question is, why does it have to be Carlo Ancelotti, and what can he bring to the Brazilian team?

The most direct answer, of course, is "technical and tactical", after all, any team, hiring a famous coach is for "technical and tactical improvement", especially Brazil. Brazilian coaches have historically been despised by their peers, thinking that the Brazilian team's results are because their talented players are too high, and the role of coaches is not great, indeed, when you have Pele, Garincha, big and small, and what "technique and tactics" are used, the ball is passed to them, and they play it. In 1987, the Chinese team studied in Brazil for a month, and Almidon Junior, who led the team, personally admitted that tactically South America lagged behind Europe by 10 years and management by 20 years, which was the result of South America's long-term arrogance.

In the past, Brazil could rely on historically talented superstars to compete with European teams, but with the increasingly global football economy, the advantage of Brazilian players is drastically diminishing. Players from other South American countries and Africa did not necessarily lose to the Brazilians in terms of their feet.

A typical example is Cuadrado, who just broke up with Juventus, and the best period of his career was left to the Bianconeri, who is the most representative Colombian star in the past 10 years. Brazilian humanitarian Glas Costa of his contemporary, the two main attack positions are the same, both are right wingers, strong ghost skills with the ball at their feet and explosive speed, Costa is even above Cuadrado, but when it comes to dedication and serious devotion, stability, and the murderous spirit of daring to show himself under the big scene, Costa was thrown away from the distance, which is why Cuadrado is still the main force after the four managers of Allegri I, Sarri, Pirlo and Allegri II, Costa, on the other hand, shone for only one year before the 2018 World Cup before quickly sinking into oblivion.

Moreover, the rise of third-party brokerage predators has long monopolized and controlled Brazil's excellent youth training resources, too fierce competition, but also makes Brazil's second-class outstanding players, without waiting for maturity, to go to the second- and third-rate leagues early to make money, mixed meals (including the once very lively Chinese football), originally there was more room for growth, in the second- and third-rate leagues for a few years, soon disappeared.

Even the top Brazilian superstars have never been able to realize their talents due to traditional factors such as personality and dedication, such as Adriano, Robinho and Neymar. Adriano was born with good conditions that all coaches dreamed of, as long as he played seriously, his crushing physical qualities and explosive talent alone were enough to enter the ranks of the best center forwards in history, but he gave himself up and finally completely degenerated into a passerby.

When Robinho debuted, his talent was amazing, not as the embryo of the superstar of the era, but directly compared with Pele, the same indulgence in wine, willing to sink, his fame still brought him many championships (and even a Chinese Super League bag), but the talent that was compared with Pele at the beginning became a joke.

Neymar is a big Robinho, on the one hand, the talent of the times is enough to be included in the ranks of history, on the other hand, extreme looseness and unlimited greed, so that it finally did not become a big thing. The decade led by Neymar was precisely the decade of Brazilian football's increasing sinking, unable to find its way and eventually turning to Carlo Ancelotti.

As for the intrigue between various forces and politicians in Brazilian football, countless corruption scandals have of course dragged down the Brazilian team.

Therefore, the problems of the Brazilian team are a historical inevitability, and they cannot be solved by the "technique and tactics" of a few excellent coaches. Finding Carlo Ancelotti and pinning all his hopes on "technique and tactics" is to ask for fish, although he is familiar with Brazilian players such as Vinicius, Rodrigo and Militão, which makes it easier for him to start his work.

If even Carlo Ancelotti's "technique and tactics" may not be suitable for the current Brazilian team, is there a coach who can handle it? Of course there is - Dunga, or rather, Dunga-style coaches.

This must be an iron-blooded coach who is less entangled with various Brazilian forces, is not easy to get involved in conflicts of interest, and has a tough personality, dares to stand up to the fire of the Brazilian media, and dares to say no to the big names of the demon.

As for how his "techniques and tactics" are, it does not matter whether they are advanced or not.

From 2006 to 2010, Dunga had this World Cup cycle, Brazil was the Brazil with the fewest big names and the bleakest stars, but also the most difficult to beat.

After the 2006 World Cup, Denga took charge of the Brazilian team unexpectedly. Because he was a blank slate before, there were fewer conflicts of interest, so he didn't have to think too much about off-court right and wrong. For those big names who refused to play in the Copa America, especially Ronaldo, Dunga ruthlessly suppressed it. This requires extraordinary courage, not only because the refusal of big names must call for intensive media fire, but also because of the inextricable conflict of interest between the Brazilian team and sponsors, and successive Brazilian managers dare not obey - in the 1998 World Cup final, Ronaldo had a seizure, but because the sponsor was too powerful, coach Zagallo has lost the right to decide, and it was Football Association President Teixeira who ordered to insist on Ronaldo.

Leading the team for four years, Dunga's Brazilian team, although the stars are dim, but the style of the ball is fierce, the defense is tough, the team can withstand fluctuations, the Confederations Cup final against the United States, trailing by two goals at halftime, and finally scoring three goals in a row, is also a rare headwind reversal for Brazil. Because Brazil was too strong in the past, there were too many tailwind balls, and when there was a headwind, Dunga could be said to have completely solved this problem.

Dunga's failure was due to the fact that the World Cup was too accidental, and a single mismatch of a few minutes led to the team's four years of hard work in vain. Dunga played with a self-styled image and too much trust in similar players, and as a result, a reckless Merlot, with continuous absurd behavior towards the Netherlands, ruined all of Dunga's efforts.

This shows that on the surface, Dunga's emphasis on discipline for the Brazilian team is still far from enough. Even Denga was no longer the same Bai Ding when he entered the palace for the second time, he was older, his momentum was much smaller, and he suffered from gains and losses than before, so he was silent in the second phase of coaching.

Discipline is the fatal injury that the Brazilian team needs to make up for the most. A big part of Tite's defeat is leniency to Neymar. There was a video before the World Cup in which the Brazilian team read out the squad, Neymar watched TV, nodded frequently every time he read a name, and looked approving, as if he had agreed. Playing the Korean team, chopping melons and cutting vegetables at half-time, so he began to perform various waves, not only did not score again, but was pulled one, but the whole team still didn't care, it was completely a sheep herding mentality.

Before playing in Croatia, Ronaldo feasted on gold-leaf steak, and the whole team went gladly, how can this have a bit of a World Cup life and death atmosphere? Against Croatia, Neymar finally broke the deadlock, the whole team already felt that it was done, did not think about the next ten minutes, how to control the overall situation, the result was near the end of the wrench, dragged into a penalty, the Brazilian psychology has collapsed.

Imagine, if in an important match, Ancelotti thinks Neymar is not suitable to play, but the Brazilian Football Federation and sponsors collectively put pressure on it, how can Ancelotti deal with himself?
