What will Ancelotti’s Brazil look like at Bolivian altitude?

Carlo Ancelotti has admitted that the Brazilian national team will have a different look when facing Bolivia. And this will be noticeable beyond the lineup: Alisson, Wesley, Fabrício Bruno, Alexsandro, and Caio Henrique; Andrey Santos, Bruno Guimarães, and Lucas Paquetá; Luiz Henrique, Samuel Lino, and Richarlison. In the wordplay he made, the game at altitude will demand a lot of attitude. But also tactical and behavioral adjustments from the team, compared to the approach in the victories over Paraguay and Chile. ‘The demands will be different in offensive and defensive play. Trying to control crosses and long shots are important defensive aspects. Offensively, understanding that the ball travels faster than usual is crucial. These are things we have to evaluate in our strategy,’ said the Brazilian coach. The key to this lies in the midfield. Regardless of names, the idea is to try to have more control in that area by congesting the entrance to the penalty area.
