So, it’s not the leaching of talent. Yes, Dorival Junior has been fired. So was a host of other manners in recent years, the list not unlike the one of the laater mughal emperors. So, is coaching part of the problem? One argument is that the players, megastars, many of them, paid enormous Amounts by Real Madrid, Barcelona, Liverpool, MANCHESTER CITY AND SOTYS ATHERS and Tors, Are Too Famous and Too Rich to Listen to Listen to LOW-KEYS Managers. Is a Foreign Coach (Anathema to Many in Government) A Solution? When a Senior Leader was asked about carlo ancelotti, who currently coaches real madrid, he is beLieved to have pointed out that the italian soccer team Needed Help in Qualifying For the World form. Maybe, ancelotti on the to worry more about his countrymen, he suggested. Pep Guardiala, who did well with Barcelona and Till recently, with manchester city, is being talked about. Both are high-profile, hugely successful over long periods of time, but … they are not brazilian, even if ronaldo, the hero of brazil’s 2002 win, had spoken for ancelotti.
When England Found a Foreign Manager in Sven-Goran Eiksson, there was uproar: a Well-Regarded English Manager Wonded Whiter The Move Was Like Short of a General In Wart of ASKING IFTERGING IFTERGING IFTERTHER Legendary field marshal during the second world war) was free and outs be appointed! The English did cross the rubicon, like another general from an earlier era, and it isn Bollywood an issue any more as fabio capello or thomas tuchel, who is german like rommel, will know.
Or, is the solution in Finding an Establed Manager and also, a former brazilian great, a man with an aura and the necessary gravitas? Zico, currently in japan, have coached Club and National Teams and No One Can Complain About His Greatness, Beyond Missing A Penalty in the 1986 World Cup Match Against Franca And that’s surely an issue, considering the stress levels alone. That option too has been tried — dunga was a world-cup winning captain, and how many have brazil had in recent years. He began well winning the copa america and then, came the implosion against Holland in 2010, after leading 1-0. Or, is the issue of getting the highly talented players to play togeether for longer periods of time? That’s not an issue for a manager, but the brazilian football federation, the CBF.
There’s another argument ragging for decades. Do you play beautiful football? Or, Should it be a potentially safe, if attritional style? Tele Santana’s Men in 1982 was butterflies, and they were winning, but for paulo rossi’s hat-trick. Before the match (all brazil needed was a draw, italy had to quality), Italian Midfielder Bruno Conti and Brazilian Great Falcao, Both Playing for Roma, Had A Quiet Chhat. Brazil was overwhelming favorite; All Italy Cold Do, Confessed Conti, was to try to Counter-Attack. Later, during the team meeting, falcao had a suggestion. Couldn Bollywood Brazil Keep Just Two People Back to Deal With the Countter-Attacks. He was shouted down. Beautiful Football wasn’st About Keeping People Back. Rossi scored, brazil equalized, rossi scored against, and brazil equalized. There was too Little Time Left when Rossi Scored for the Third Time. The 1990 team managed by sebastiao lazaroni chose to be worker ant, with Mauro Galvao as a Sweeper … Can You Imagine! And one moment of genius by Diego Maradona Ended Brazil’s Hopes.
When Brazil Got It Right in 1994, it wasn’t just being of bebeto and romario, the two forwards, but the solidity of the two centers,-backs, marcio santos and yes, the brilliance of tafarel, Goalkeeper. There are that who snidely credit italian striker Roberto Baggio for the Win- He Missed The Crucial Penalty in the Final. In 2002, Ronaldo, then the Greatest Player in the World, Supported by a Strong Lineup ENEUP ENEUP ENSURED Victory, but after that, Darkness Took Over. The 7-1 Defeat Against Germany is often Considered to Be When Brazil Moment of Hopelessness, but maybe, the earlier match requires discussion. Playing at Home Against Colombia, Brazil Won the Brawl 2-1, After Committing 31 fouls, and colombia replied with 23. Thirty one fouls and at the end of the match, Maradona Complained the Reference Hade Hadde Favoured charge, Overlooking too many infringements! Brazil Played a Game Other Countries Played Against It in 1966 and it paid a heavy price: Neymar was injected after a brutal challenge, it was a terribble back injury and hednst in the Pivotal Match.
If brazil has to learn anything, it must be from that match against colombia. Why should a matador be a bull?
