The reporter reported coldly In the 2014 World Cup, the football kingdom Brazil suffered the biggest humiliation in history: a 1-7 defeat at the feet of the German team. Eleven years later, Brazilian football ushered in a new shame comparable to 1-7 - at the Monumental Stadium at River Plate, Brazil with Vinicius and Rodrygo was beaten 4-1 by Argentina without Messi. "Global Sports" lamented: It's not that the Argentine team can't play 7-1, it's just that the blue and white team doesn't want to!
The shame of the Brazilian team does not stop there. Conceded two goals in the opening 12 minutes, which was the fastest record for Brazil to concede two goals in a row in the world preliminaries. The previous "shame" was also inflicted by Argentina - in 2005, Argentina scored two goals in the first 18 minutes, scored by Crespo and Riquelme. Brazil was 3 goals behind in the first half, possession 44% to 56%, shots on goal 3 to 12, shots on target 1 to 7, corner kicks 0 to 6, both the score and the data were pressed to the ground by Argentina.
This is the first time in 61 years that Brazil have lost three or more goals to Argentina in a South American derby, and it is also the first time that Brazil has conceded four goals in a single game in the world preliminaries. The last time Brazil beat Argentina was in the semifinals of the Copa America six years ago, winning 2-0 at home; The last time they won away was 16 years ago, when Dunga led them to a 3-1 win over Maradona's Argentina.
In fact, from the comparison of the two teams' starters, you can already judge the trend of the game. The starting 11 of the Argentine team, which is confirmed to qualify early, is almost exactly the same as the semifinals of the 2022 World Cup, only Messi is missing. Brazil started 11 players, with as many as five making fewer than five international appearances. On the one hand, there is the experienced and tacit cooperation of the World Cup champions, and on the other hand, there is the inexperienced and scattered Samba Army. The Brazilian media commented that this game was like a professional player beating an amateur team, which was unbearable to look at.
Before the game, Brazilian international Raphinha was interviewed by Romario, who is already a senator, and the two said that they would beat Argentina without Messi. After the game, the Argentine media taunted the two at full speed. What's even more ironic is that the day before the game, the president of the Brazilian Football Federation, Rodriguez, had just been re-elected. But the gift received was so embarrassing. After the game, the media pressed Rodriguez, who perfunctorily said that he would calm down for a day before considering it. Mainstream media such as "Global Sports" and ESPN Brazil have said that the resignation of Brazilian coach Dolívar is a foregone conclusion, depending on when.
On December 9, 2022, after Brazil withdrew from the World Cup and coach Tite left, the Samba Army experienced three coaches: Menezes (coach of Brazil's U20 national youth team), Dinis and Dolívar, but none of them were the first choice of the Brazilian Football Federation. The Brazilian Football Federation has been looking to bring in top coaches, including Pep Guardiola, Jose Mourinho, Carlo Ancelotti and Gabriel Jesus, who have enjoyed success in the Brazilian league, as well as Abel Ferreira. But no one in Europe was willing to take over, and the 3 "spare tire" handsomes took turns to fight, and everyone saw the result.
Globo Sports revealed that starting this week, the Brazilian Football Federation will discuss Dolivar's departure. Carlo Ancelotti is still the first choice, with his contract with Real Madrid expiring next summer, but if Real Madrid fail to win a heavyweight trophy this season, it will be difficult for the Italian to stay. The Real Madrid coach is not as resolute as last year and has revealed that he may consider it. Other candidates include Riyadh Crescent coach Gabriel Jesus and Palmeiras coach Pacos Ferreira. In addition, the 39-year-old coach Felipe Luiz, who coached Flamengo at the end of September last year, may become a dark horse, and has won the 2024 U20 Intercontinental Cup, Copa do Brasil, 2025 Brazilian Super Cup and Rio State League 4 titles in half a year, and is the most popular coach in Brazil.
However, all four potential coaches will lead the team to the Club World Cup in June and July, which means that Dorívar will also have to lead the team to the two World Qualifiers in June, when Brazil will first take on the home team of Ecuadorian Altiplano and then host Paraguay, who are unbeaten in eight games after the change of manager. With four rounds of South American qualifiers remaining, Ecuador is two points ahead of Brazil, while Paraguay is level on points with Brazil and six points ahead of Venezuela in the seventh-placed play-off zone.
Although Dolivar's resignation is a foregone conclusion, if he leads the Brazilian team to qualify early, it can be regarded as saving respect.
