Persistence and misuse of the sides remain problems in selection

Six years ago: the complaint begins in the period of Titus

Six years ago, since the time of Tite, a recurring complaint settled in the debate about Brazil: the country does not have good sides and has no replacement at the same level required by the modern game.

The next cycle: Diniz and Dorival keep the same problem

After Tite, the alert reappeared in Diniz's pass. Then followed vivo with Dorival. The critical reading is that the response of the technicians did not break the pattern: it was still trying to make the game work with full sides even when the cast did not deliver this condition reliably. The problem became tactical. If the function cannot be sustained by those who are on the field, another distribution of tasks is needed, protecting the wing without sacrificing construction and aggressiveness.

Ancelotti and the current knot: how to set up Brazil without relying on the ideal full-back

With Ancelotti, the issue comes back to center. The provocation is straightforward: if Brazil doesn't have sides at the same level, maybe the path is less looking for the perfect player and more setting up a system that makes their absence less decisive. This may involve open halves, points retreating, sides attacking from inside, defenders opening the field or a block that compacts the lane full-back when the team loses the ball. It's not about failing to attack; it's about distributing offense and defense in another way.

The current point

The cut is simple: six years have passed, the cycle has been from Tite to Diniz, Dorival and Ancelotti, but the question remains.
