For the first time in the modern era, no Brazilian on the bench: Carlo Ancelotti coaches the Seleção. That alone is a mini-revolution in a country where 'jeitinho brasileiro' trumps European discipline. But Ancelotti knows Vinícius and Rodrygo inside out from Real Madrid, and he brings something Brazil have been missing for twenty years: calm under pressure. The attack is solid — Vinícius, Raphinha, Rodrygo, Endrick, plus Neymar if fit. Defence remains the eternal question. Morocco in Group C is anything but a formality (they beat Spain in 2022). A sixth title — first since 2002 — would set everything right. Brazil are always candidates; just no longer favourites.
The sensation of the previous World Cup returns, and that wasn't an accident. Under Walid Regragui, this is a unit tactically better than its FIFA ranking suggests. Hakimi on the right flank is world-class, Bono in goal can decide any match alone, and Ziyech provides the magic. In Group C they can challenge Brazil for top spot — Morocco already beat Spain and Portugal in 2022, no reason why Brazil are different. The pressure is now enormous: a country expects at least a repeat. A quarter-final exit is a disappointment, a semi-final the minimum, a final the ultimate story for African football.
