Ancelotti suffers the harsh reality of Brazil in his premiere

The expectation was enormously before the premiere at the front of Brazil of Carlo Ancelotti, the most laureate coach in the history of Real Madrid, but the Italian suffered a stroke of reality and checked firsthand that the world’s pentacampeone is a shadow of what it was. The bond with nothing harvested by the Canarinha in Ecuador has not generated exactly great optimism, although Carletto, experienced and great in the management of the media and the environment, tried to post a good weather.

“We are satisfied with confidence for the next game,” he will be at Paraguay, said Ancelotti, 65, during the press conference after the game played in Guayaquil. He emphasized that “the team played very well at the defensive level” and acknowledged that it was complicated with attack because it was a very physical and complicated rival, especially in his loan.

“You have to take into account the power of the rival because Ecuador played a good game and it was very difficult to look for a space between the lines,” said Ancelotti, for whom Vinicius asked for patience and time early for the demanding and at the same time nervous, fans ‘evamarelha’. Opposite Tuesday’s match against Albirroja in Sao Paulo, the reggiolo predicted that they will improve at offensive level, while emphasizing that the quality of his players is “very high”.

With the draw, Ecuador maintains second place in the classification of the South America area for the World Cup 2026 with 24 points, after the powerful Argentina and followed by Paraguay, coupled but with less target difference. Paraguayans defeated Uruguay on Thursday 2-0. Brazil has held fourth place with 22 points.

Concern

The Tricolor and the Canarinha offered an intense and played in the monumental stadium from start to finish, but the tables are expanding the care for both teams. The fight started badly for the local population, because goalkeeper Hernán Galíndez had to leave in tears because of an injury. Gonzalo Valle replaced him, who acted with Poise and saved Ecuadorians after a powerful Vinicius auction. Against what was expected, the Real Madrid star had few performances.

With the emphasis and pacho at the head, the Ecuadorian wall showed its efficiency by containing the progress of Brazil, led from the captain by Marquinhos. Striking in the immediate and precise recovery in the distribution of the ball when he restored it, Ecuador reached the Seleçao at times.

The best in Tricolor attack came in the last minutes of the game, when he stepped on the accelerator pedal and the Ancelotti group was cornered. Estupiñán, an old knowledge of the Spanish fans and now in the Prime Minister’s Brighton, was able to score the goal of the triumph with a long -distance shot two minutes after Casemiro tried with a right that the stadium trembled, but to which Valle responded with placement and reflexes.
