Qualifying 1-0! Ancelotti coached Brazil s first victory + shortlisted for the World Cup, and 170 million Real Madrid superstars made a contribution

June 11th, in the 16th round of the World Cup qualifiers, Brazil faced Paraguay at home. In the first half, with the latest Real Madrid superstar Vinicius who is worth 170 million euros in the German market, the Brazilian team took a goal as it wished. In the second half, Brazil missed a lot of opportunities and Paraguay failed to equalize the score. In the end, Brazil qualified 1-0, and Ancelotti coached Brazil to win for the first time + was shortlisted for the World Cup!

, the club's famous Italian coach Ancelotti, who had a brilliant career experience in coaching, officially joined forces with the Five-Star Brazil team at the end of last month. His first task after taking office was to lead the Samba Army to complete a breakthrough from the World Cup qualifiers in South America. However, Ancelotti's debut in coaching Brazil failed to get a good start. In the 15th round of the World Cup qualifiers 5 days ago, he tied 0-0 with Ecuador.

In this round, the third-last round of the South American qualifiers, Brazil returned to home to face the visiting Paraguay. Before the game, it was also a match in this round. Uruguay has defeated Venezuela 2-0, which means that as long as Brazil defeats Paraguay in this game, it will be able to qualify for two rounds in advance and be shortlisted for the 2026 US, Canada and Mexico World Cup.

Ancelotti lined up with a 4-2-3-1 formation. The starting goalkeeper was Allison from Liverpool. Ribero and Marginhos partnered with a double central defender, plus two full-backs Sandro and Wanderson formed a four-back system, Casemiro and Guimaraes partnered with a double midfielder, Martinelli, Cunia, Rafinia and Vinicius formed a frontcourt offensive four-man team. After the opening of the game, Brazil took the lead in controlling the rhythm. Once the ball was lost, it would counterattack on the spot, giving Paraguay a strong sense of oppression. Rafinia took the lead in trying a long shot. Cunia made a cross from the point of Vinicius and failed to play in the main position. Martinelli forced a breakthrough and made the cross from the bottom of the bottom. Vinicius made a cross from the bottom of the left and completed a barb shot. Rafinia volleyed and kicked. Paraguay's rare offensive opportunity Sanabria shot and missed it. Brazil's consecutive crosses were cleared by Paraguay.

Until the 44th minute of the game, Brazil finally broke the deadlock. Cunia made a cross from the bottom and sent an assist. Vinicius made a cross in front of the goal. With Vinicius' goal, Brazil led Paraguay 1-0 at the end of the first half.

After the change of sides, Brazil continued to play against Paraguay, but Paraguay's defense was quite tenacious, and it resolved the Brazilian team's set-piece offense many times. Martinelli was very active and broke through with his personal ability many times. Brazil once won three corner kicks in a row. Paraguay's air defense did a good job of resolving the danger one by one. Marginhos conceded the ball, and Paraguay finally got a chance to counterattack, but Sanabria's shot was too straight and was confiscated by Allison.

Vinitius made a cross from the bottom and was cleared by the Paraguay defense again. Paraguay won consecutive corner kick opportunities, and Casemiro and Cunia completed clearances one after another. Paraguay's out-of-bounds ball was thrown into the penalty area, and Alonso headed the ball over the crossbar. Rafinia got the ball from the right front of the penalty area and completed a shot and was saved by Paraguay goalkeeper. Cunia then shot high with another long shot, and Guimaraes's shot was saved. Although I missed a lot of opportunities to expand the lead, the most important thing for the Brazilian team was to win this victory and qualify for the US, Canada and Mexico World Cup two rounds ahead of schedule.
