""I think more tactical work is needed to refine game strategy," Ancelotti said."
""All of this can be very important, but the most important part is not the strategy; it is the attitude of the players on the pitch. For that, it doesn't take much time to prepare. I really liked the team's defensive play in June and September. The team defended very well - compact, united, committed and intense. Where the team needs to improve is with the ball in possession.""
""The team has to show the individual quality it has, and we have a lot of it. You can play with four, three or five in attack, but what matters is the quality shown on the pitch. What I really like is the team atmosphere. It's very positive because of the players' attitude and professionalism.""
Carlo Ancelotti became Brazil coach in May after leaving Real Madrid and has guided qualification for the 2026 World Cup. Brazil recorded two wins, one draw and one loss under him, finishing fifth in CONMEBOL after a shock 1-0 defeat to Bolivia. Ancelotti has alternated formations while seeking the best system, but he prioritizes player attitude over tactical strategy. He praised recent defensive displays as compact, united and intense, and said the team must improve possession and showcase its abundant individual quality. Brazil face friendlies against South Korea and Japan and aim for a sixth World Cup title.
