In the first round of the group stage of the Copa America, Brazil faced Costa Rica. Despite the overwhelming statistical dominance of Brazil, the final result of the match was a 0-0 draw between Brazil and Costa Rica. Vinicius, Rodrygo are inactive, and Girona's La Liga dribbling king has made several beautiful baseline breakthroughs, but his teammates in the middle have not converted their chances into goals. Endrick has a good impact in the No.9 position, but he's still not an absolute No.9.

Not playing defensive and counter-attacking, playing offensive football, the Brazilian star is a little uncomfortable

In this Copa America, the Brazilian team's lineup can be called simple, even Vinicius and Rodrygo, the two main players of Real Madrid, are not the absolute superstars of the team. And whether it is Rodrygo, Vinicius, Paqueta and other players, in their respective clubs, they are mainly defensive and counter-attacking. Now in the Brazilian national team, a group of players who mainly play defensive counterattacks in the club want to switch to offensive football, playing "positional warfare" and "attacking tough battles". Obviously, the players of the Brazilian team are not ready for this.

The wing wants to play "one dragon", the middle lacks a high striker, and the attacking end of the Brazilian team is too difficult

In today's game, the Brazilian team's wing advancement, basically relying on Rodrygo alone, fullbacks, full-backs, full-backs are not active, as for Vinicius, it is more like a "feint", his ball possession is not much, and the Brazilian team lacks excellent point-grabbing players in the middle, although Marquinhos's goal was canceled because of offside, but it actually provided a new idea for the Brazilian coaching staff, as soon as possible to send a high striker, if necessary, two side corners, set-pieces, and even crosses, It can be more simple and direct to the middle, of course, this style of play actually worked for a period of time after Endrick's appearance, and almost caused the opponent's own goal. But unfortunately, when Endrick came on, Brazil's two wings were already overstretched, the quality of his crosses dropped significantly, and Rodrygo suffered cramps. This shows that the Brazilian team's lineup and attacking players are not reasonable enough.

For Brazil, who paid a huge physical price in the first game but did not get three points, Brazil have already lost a move tactically. Subsequently, there will not be much time left for the Samba Army to adjust.
