Brazil's World Cup exit is a stark reminder of the team's current struggles, and the need for a comprehensive overhaul. The midfield, once a source of creativity and strength, has become a liability, with Brazil losing possession and control in crucial matches. The team's reliance on Casemiro, despite his vulnerabilities in open space, has been a strategic mistake. The absence of Lucas Paqueta and the inclusion of Gabriel Martinelli further exacerbated the team's issues, leading to a one-dimensional attack. Neymar's inclusion, despite his decline in form, was a controversial decision that disrupted the team's balance. Ancelotti's role as a 'fixer' is questionable, as his tactics and player choices have not yielded the desired results. The team's future looks uncertain, with the need for a major surgery and a fresh approach to qualify for the 2030 World Cup. The question remains: is Ancelotti the right man to lead this transformation?
