The Brazilian team participating in the America's Cup this time, their head coach Menezes took over from Dunga after the 2010 World Cup. There have been major adjustments in personnel and tactical style, and they have gradually reversed Dunga's pragmatism and traditional Brazilian style.
Subversion of tactical style.
Dunga, who has won the America's Cup, the World Cup and the Confederations Cup as captain, and won a Grand Slam, took over the coaching position of the Brazilian team after the 2006 World Cup. In that competition, the Brazilian team lost to the team led by Zidan.
In France, Pereca resigned and Dunga began to subvert the surname's reconstruction of the Brazilian team in accordance with his pragmatism.
The word subversion is used because Dunga made essential adjustments to the Brazilian team's tactical style during the four years he took over!
As we all know, the Brazilian team in 2006 has continued the Samba flow of "talent first, tactics second". It is unique in the modern football era of diversified tactical theories and scientific rigor. For decades, the Brazilian team has relied on
With the typical configuration of "genius center + genius attacking midfielder", he achieved fame.
Even the dazzling technical moves are quite monotonous when summarized into tactical theory: when there is no chance, you can only reverse frequently, and when attacking the frontcourt, you rely on the exquisite crosses of the dominant midfielder, coupled with the keen sense of the powerful center.
The two sharp weapons work together to achieve a fatal blow!
However, centers like Ronaldo and Adriano, and dominant attacking midfielders like Ronaldinho and Kaka are not always available. In the absence of these talents, Dunga was undoubtedly more obsessed with the 1994
During the World Cup era in the United States, the Brazilian team with him as the core changed from emphasizing talent as the core to emphasizing tactical discipline as the core.

After taking over the Brazilian team after the 2006 World Cup, Dunga's iron fist and tactical discipline replaced the idea of team building with talented players as the core, which made it difficult for Brazilian fans to adapt for a long time.
During Dunga's four years as the coach of the Brazilian team, he rejected superstars such as Ronaldo, Pato, Adriano, and Ronaldinho, and formed a team with Kaká, Robinho and Fabiano.
As the core frontcourt, and focusing on a stable backcourt, it changed the style of Brazilian football and switched to defensive counterattack.
In addition to rejecting those geniuses, Dunga is also very persistent in using Felipe Melo. In his mind, Felipe Melo, who has a simple style of play, has his own shadow. Dunga seems to also
He regarded him as his successor. These players, who were only selected for the Brazilian national team for the first time at the age of 25 and 7 months, were among the few who started every game and played the entire game, whether it was the World Cup preliminaries or the Confederations Cup.
The key role has gradually become an irreplaceable figure in the Brazilian team.
Although his tactical style, including the use of personnel, has been questioned, Dunga has proven himself with victory time and time again. He won the America's Cup in 2007 and the Confederations Cup in 2009, which silenced those opposing voices for a long time.
In the 14th final of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, during Brazil's match against the Netherlands, Melo sent a wonderful through ball from the midfielder in the first half to help Robinho open the scoring. However, later due to the referee's favoritism and the irritation of Robben's acting, he was unable to score.
During the game, he controlled his emotions, stepped on Robben, received a red card, was sent off, and was eliminated from the game along with the Brazilian team.
The defeat caused emotions that had been suppressed for a long time to explode. After the game, Dunga resigned.

After Dunga resigned, all the work of the Brazilian Football Association was to prepare for winning the 2014 World Cup. After Dunga resigned, Scolari, the most vocal person, rejected the invitation of the Brazilian Football Association, and the second choice Ramalho also played.
He gave up and finally signed a contract with Corinthians head coach Meneses, which was actually a helpless choice.
After taking over the reins, after a period of inspection and several training sessions, Ronaldo and Kaká were still not included in the 23-man roster finally confirmed before the start of the America's Cup. The reason was that they were injured and were not the best.
Of course, the much-questioned Felipe Melo and a group of players from Dunga's era are not on the list. Menezes' Brazilian team has 11 out of 23 players.
First time selected!
Obviously, Menezes regards this America's Cup as a testing ground for training and training for the Brazilian team.
However, in the group stage, they were held to draws by Paraguay and Ecuador. When they defeated Ecuador, they lost the goal twice. This Brazilian team made Brazilian fans even more disappointed.
Compared with previous predecessors, the biggest difference between Menezes is that he reuses domestic players and ignores overseas players, especially the young forward Neymar of Santos. He praised the forward born in 1992 that he will surpass Messi and Messi in the near future.
Cristiano Ronaldo has become a new generation of football king.
Basically, what Menezes did was to build the Brazilian team into a team with Neymar as the "genius core" 14 years ago, so that Brazilian football can gradually return to the traditional model of "talent first, tactics supplemented".

For this new Brazilian team, Baggio and the coaching team of the Hong Kong team made a detailed analysis of their three games in the group stage, especially the tactics of the "Neymar core" that Menezes has not yet perfected.
Baggio also put in a lot of effort into the system.
Neymar, who is 1.75 meters tall and weighs 65 kilograms, is obviously not Ronaldo, a powerful center like Adriano. This short and thin figure is somewhat similar to the "lone wolf" Romario.
Unlike Romario, who likes to attack by "stealing the ball" on the front line, Neymar's frontcourt pressing ability is average. Most of his goals are completed after receiving passes from teammates and breaking through with excellent quick dribbling.
attacking.
In Menezes' 4-2-3-1 formation, Neymar's position is like Messi's arrow position in Barcelona. Behind him, Robinho, Pato and Ganso are his three main players.
Ammunition provider.
Especially Ganso, Paulo Enrique Ganso was born in 1989 and is a good friend of Neymar. The two were familiar with each other during the youth training period, and the two are also the current attacking partners of the Brazilian Santos club. The two have just joined forces for the Santos team.
Won the Copa Libertadores in the 11th season.
When finalizing the candidates, Menezes shut Kaká and Ronaldinho out of the national team on the grounds of their condition, which also took into account the fact that Ganso and Neymar are more familiar with the cooperation in organizing players in the midfield.
Of course, in Baggio's view, Menezes has another consideration. As a Mesozoic coach in Brazil, Menezes does not have the far-reaching reputation of Scolari, nor does he have the nationality of Dunga.
Therefore, if world-class superstars such as Kaká and Ronaldinho are allowed to join under his command, and they have to recognize the young Neymar as the core of the tactics, the subordinate relationship may not be well balanced.
As for the other two players in the attacking quartet of midfield and frontcourt, Robinho and Pato, they are not the No. 1 core in AC Milan's attacking system. They can play supporting roles for Ibrahimovic in Europe, but in China
Although there is a slight psychological imbalance in giving the "Neymar-Gansou" combination a supporting role, it is much better than letting Kaká and Ronaldinho play supporting roles!
In this game, the Hong Kong team, still in a 5-4-1 formation, received instructions from Baggio. In terms of defense in the middle, Chen Zhaoqi returned and the task with Lin Zhijian was to flank Paul Ganso, Zhai Tingfeng and Xie Jiaqiang to guard Neymar in the middle.
, Chen Zhuo wandered between the two groups of defenses, responsible for cutting off the cooperation between Ganso and Neymar.

For this Brazilian team, Baggio also discovered a fatal problem.
In this 4-2-3-1 formation, the four frontcourt attacking players, Robinho, Pato, Ganso and Neymar, are all formations with stronger offensive ability than defensive ability, and their four players also have
A common problem is that they have poor awareness of counterattack after losing the ball. Except for Robinho, who is better, the other three players almost never counterattack after losing the ball or even making a mistake!
This style of play undoubtedly doubled the pressure on the two defensive midfielders of the Brazilian team. They tied with Paraguay 2:2 and defeated Ecuador 4:2. They conceded two goals in each game, both of which were blown away by the opponent during counterattacks.
Score gained by the midfielder!
For the Hong Kong team, although the technical level was lowered by the Brazilian team by more than one level, through the high-intensity pressing tactics in the middle, the Brazilian team was gradually forced to the wing. When they began to make more wing breakthroughs
When passing the ball, there is no doubt that this is no longer their specialty of penetrating short passes from the middle. For various high ball defenses and melee in the penalty area, the Hong Kong team, led by the five major European aids, is relatively unable to cope with it.
So strenuous!
This game was held at the La Plata Municipal Stadium, 65 kilometers away from Buenos Aires. More than half of the neutral spectators were present. Chinese spectators and Brazilian spectators were almost equal, with three to four thousand people. Neutral fans
Due to various psychology, I also cheer for the Hong Kong team more.
After being unable to attack for a long time, the Brazilian team seemed a little impatient, especially in the 40th minute when Zhai Tingfeng knocked down Neymar and the referee was merciless, which also caused great dissatisfaction among the Brazilian players. Two minutes later, Gansuo retaliated by kicking Zhai Tingfeng down and was shown a yellow card by the referee.
Players from both sides also pushed each other and got very angry...
After all, he is young and still in the running-in period. Baggio watched all this quietly from the sidelines.
A gust of cool breeze blew over, and the sleepy spectators in the stands became excited. Buenos Aires and La Plata are both cities close to the Atlantic coast. They have a subtropical ocean climate, and there are often showers.
…
During the halftime break, the score was still 0-0. At this time, the raindrops were getting heavier and heavier... If it rained heavily like this, for the Brazilian team, the advantage of short passing penetration and cooperation would be even greater.
No way to mention it!

When seeing the heavy rain falling on the stadium during the live broadcast, the Hong Kong commentator couldn't help but sigh, even God will not help the Brazilian team! For such a world-class team, the Hong Kong team cannot defeat them.
The only one who belongs to the Brazilian team is the Brazilian team itself! (To be continued.)
