Carlo Ancelotti don name attack-heavy squad for this first World Cup. But fit he find functional team to take Brazil back to glory? Brazil always enter World Cup cycle hoping to win am all, but this time around, expectations be more reflection of their reputation and number of stars for their yellow jersey than any kind of solid preparation for tournament.
The Seleção don get four different coaches and 84 different players wey make at least one appearance since 2023. After plenty changes for direction, Brazil don finally find their manager for tournament for Carlo Ancelotti, wey arrive for June 2025. That mean ‘Carletto’ only get four competitive matches for charge for CONMEBOL World Cup qualifiers, and two of them be dead rubbers as Brazil don already clinch qualification. As result, most of his work come for space of seven friendlies since qualifying finish.
The Italian manager don generally favour attack-minded system with two midfielders and four forwards. Casemiro (10 starts) and Bruno Guimarães (9) don make most starts under Ancelotti, alongside Vinícius Júnior (9). The 4-2-4 system be reflection of imbalance for positions of players available to Brazil manager. While midfield pair seem settled, four attacking spots still dey up for grabs, particularly following injuries to Rodrygo, wey be Brazil top scorer since 2023 with eight goals, and Estêvão, wey be top scorer under Ancelotti with five goals.
Vinícius and Raphinha be most prolific of bunch, but their star power for Europe never consistently translate to international stage. With no obvious centre-forward choice aside from Brentford’s Igor Thiago, wey no dey expected to start, there be chance say Vinícius or Raphinha fit play centrally. Vini don spend 57% of his minutes under Ancelotti for Brazil as striker, while Raphinha don play 43% of his minutes as central attacking midfielder.
The remaining positions for Brazil attack go be fiercely contested between Matheus Cunha, Luiz Henrique, Rayan, Gabriel Martinelli, Endrick, Igor Thiago and, after his surprise inclusion for squad, Neymar. Cunha be currently frontrunner, wey don create 11 chances while playing for Brazil under Ancelotti, tally wey only Vinícius (18), Bruno (15) and Casemiro (14) wey don play more football pass others. Cunha also don primarily play for central areas.
Luiz Henrique, Rayan and Endrick don also catch attention of many Brazilian fans, and each don make case for starting berth. Luiz don complete almost as many dribbles (14) for just 344 minutes for Brazil as Vinícius don (18) for 685 minutes during Ancelotti era. Meanwhile, teenagers Rayan and Endrick don both already score for Brazil, and both do so for iconic venues. The Bournemouth winger find net for his second appearance – against Panama at Maracanã – while Real Madrid man net for his third match – against England at Wembley.
However, no player carry greater expectation for streets of Brazil than Neymar. The all-time top scorer for Seleção for official matches (79 goals) never play for his national side since October 2023, but after returning to his boyhood club Santos for 2025, he do enough to convince Ancelotti to call am up. Despite making only 43 appearances for Santos – nearly half number of player with most matches for Santos for that period, Gabriel Brazão (85) – he lead his side for goals (17), dribbles completed (67), chances created (114), shots (118) and fouls won (160). Meanwhile, he rank second-best for assists (eight) and touches for opposition’s box (187), all while playing for team wey dey battle relegation.
He already be Brazil legend, but his inclusion for squad allow am chance to become just second Brazilian to score for four different World Cups after Pelé. Neymar’s ability to connect midfield and strikers, not to mention his potential to decide matches, be unquestioned. Now be Ancelotti task to decide if he go be focal point of team or late substitute wey fit appear late to try turn game.
With abundance of forwards and few midfielders, Brazil go threaten with fast-paced, direct attacks. For their two matches against European opposition under Ancelotti, Brazil get less possession than their opponents – 45% for win over Croatia and 46% for loss to France. Notably, France get player wey dem send off for 55th minute, at which point Brazil just get 40% possession. Even though most opponents often force Brazil to dominate possession against deeper blocks, Ancelotti side don get almost as many direct attacks (25) as build-up attacks (30) since manager take over.
While uncertainty dey up front, defence be far more settled. Both centre-backs be UEFA Champions League finalists – Marquinhos for PSG and Gabriel Magalhães for Arsenal. Marquinhos go captain side, putting all his experience to good use to lead Brazilian team into World Cup. His 122 appearances for Champions League leave am second only to Lionel Messi (163) among non-European players. Meanwhile, Gabriel be key part of defence with most clean sheets for both Champions League (9) and Premier League (19) this season. Dem don start only two matches together under Ancelotti, though both games end with clean sheets and wins: 3-0 against Chile and 2-0 against Senegal.
Having solid defence wey fit withstand matches without much possession against top European competition fit be Brazil best bet, hoping to catch their rivals off guard with their myriad of speedy forwards. Brazil don get 19 shots from fast breaks for 11 matches under Ancelotti, including four against Croatia – two of which bring goals – and two against France. And if all go wrong, Brazil go get last resort of Neymar – tasked with getting for there and making something happen, as he don do for each of his previous three World Cups. He never quite manage to take Brazil to their first World Cup win since 2002, though. This be his final chance.
