Brazil team disaster

Brazil's stars disappointed against Argentina.

The disaster that everyone expected, and the worse that we could imagine, was actually foretold long ago. Dorival Júnior was perhaps the only one who did not realize it.

The scene on the pitch, with its tragic final result, could not have been more surprising. A crushing defeat was inevitable, and had it not been for Romero's blunder - who gifted Brazil a goal - the scoreline would have been even worse.

Strange tactics

What was Dorival Júnior thinking when he decided to line up his team? The way he lined up with just two midfielders and an attacking quartet seemed to defy logic, especially when facing Argentina, one of the most compact and well-coordinated teams in the world. The decision revealed a lack of tactical awareness, especially when the opposition had a cohesive squad, players who knew their roles and when to shine.

While Argentina played with a well-thought-out strategy, a well-coordinated and technically sound midfield, Brazil looked like a team assembled from mismatched pieces. Brazil’s defense, with players who barely knew each other, was a patchwork of pieces. That was no way to succeed.

The first half of the match was a stark reflection of Brazil's helplessness. With a weak defense and a virtually non-existent midfield, Brazil could not keep the ball, could not counter-attack, and when they lost the ball, could not create pressure. Argentina dominated the entire match, just waiting for the right moment to finish.

Brazil's heavy loss to Argentina was a foregone conclusion.

When the first goal came, it was only a matter of time. Brazil appeared too weak, unable to react to the opponent's strong attacks.

What we saw was a team without a plan, without connection between the players, and Dorival Júnior's weaknesses became more obvious than ever. The whole match was like a tragic symphony of disunity.

A distorted image

The defeat to Argentina was not just a technical failure, but also a distortion of the very essence of Brazilian football. Brazil has long been renowned for its creative, flamboyant attacking style, but also for its solid defence and solid midfield. But under the guidance of Dorival Júnior, those qualities seem to have been overlooked.

The way Brazil were deployed, and the way the players played, was confusing. The team couldn’t keep the ball, couldn’t create attacking situations, and when they won the ball back, they didn’t know what to do with it. The lack of tactical coherence was obvious, and the players seemed to be playing a game without purpose.

The worst part is not the defeat, but the fact that Dorival Júnior continues to be the coach of the national team. Despite being criticized many times and disappointing fans more than once, he has been kept, and it is puzzling that people have chosen to keep him. Dorival's work has been exposed for a long time, but the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has been steadfast in its decision.

Brazil needs a boost to get things going.

Modern football demands not only experience but also a keen tactical vision, the ability to create a cohesive, creative and dynamic team. However, Dorival Júnior has never shown these qualities. The problem is not the players – Brazil have talented players – but the lack of coaching, the failure to get the best out of their stars.

This defeat marked a necessary change. Brazil cannot continue to stagnate under Dorival Júnior. Brazilian football is all too familiar with ups and downs, but if the team is to return to the top, it needs to change, and change quickly. It needs a coach with a modern vision, a clear strategy and a way of playing that is sustainable, not just a makeshift.

With so much talent, Brazil have the potential to build a strong team, but that will only happen if they have the right strategy and a capable coach to lead the team. The question is whether the CBF will continue to keep Dorival Júnior, or will they decide to make a change to get Brazilian football back on track?

If Brazilian football is to regain its glory on the international stage, change cannot be delayed. We need a team that knows how to play football, knows how to fight and, above all, a coach worthy of leading it. Otherwise, disasters like this match will only be the beginning of a long cycle of failure.
