Coach Carlo Ancelotti of Brazil football team is requesting attention to the existing team following another defeat (2-1) to France in a friendly in Gillette stadium on Thursday. Ancelotti however noted that it is the duty to create cohesion within the current players instead of going the extra mile to call back old stars despite the loss. France also put in good performance in the match and the home audience could enjoy a good match.
The first goal was made by Brazil, and then France scored later with the second goal, but it was a very late goal, which changed the tide of the game giving rise to fan cheers of Neymar back. The fact that the forward has not been part of the national team has been a debatable issue among the fans, particularly following incidences such as this when Brazil failed to uphold a clear advantage.
Ancelotti also admitted the passion of the fans but emphasized on the idea that individual talent alone cannot develop the team. This is where we have great players, he said, and there is need to incorporate new talent into the attacking set up of Brazil. Analysts observed that even though Neymar is an experienced player that brings excitement, the current team has a potential and can deliver in case given time and confidence.
It is also a question of the strategy Brazil plans to use before their next qualifiers and international tournaments following the defeat. Analysts opine that instead of relying on the previous stars, it is the strategic consistency and focus on the younger talent that can be the key to success in the long-term.
