The Brazilian national team's poor performance in the 1-1 draw against Australia has left more questions than convictions for the team in the early stages of the 2030 cycle. The errors pointed out in the elimination in the Copa do Mundo have repeated themselves and indicate a challenge for Carlo Ancelotti that goes beyond the promised renewal of the squad.
Globo Esporte Futebol reports that the Italian coach has stated that his priority is to continue the work initiated in June 2025, and that the team seems to lack a football that connects with its tradition, leaving a difficult path for the emergence of new players.
Ancelotti has promised to present a different system of play in the next game against Australia, with a more compact team and a midfielder more in control. The coach's discourse of patience seems to disconnect with the urgency of a fragile fan base, who are tired of recent disappointments.
The Brazilian team will face Australia again on Tuesday, and then travel to Calcutta to play against the modest Indian national team on October 3.
