Vinicius Jr. Praises Ancelotti After Brazil's Stalemate: "The Best Coach I've Worked With"
Brazil’s Boring Start Under Ancelotti: A Tactical Tease or Cause for Concern?
Carlo Ancelotti’s much-anticipated debut as Brazil’s head coach ended in a 0-0 draw against Ecuador. Not exactly the fireworks we expected from the Seleção, but let’s not hit the panic button just yet. As a data guy who’s seen enough “false starts” to fill a library, I’ll tell you why this might be more about growing pains than systemic failure.
Vinicius’ Vote of Confidence
Post-match, Vinicius Jr. dropped this gem: “Ancelotti is the best coach I’ve worked with.” Strong words from a player who’s had Zidane and current Real Madrid boss at his disposal. But here’s where it gets interesting - he immediately qualified it with “he hasn’t had time to show his work.” Classic player-speak for “we’re still figuring this out.”
The Numbers Behind the Nil-Nil
Let’s break down what actually happened on that Ecuadorian pitch:
- xG (Expected Goals): Brazil 0.8 vs Ecuador 0.5
- Shots on target: 3 each
- Possession: 58% Brazil
The stats suggest what your eyeballs told you - this was two teams canceling each other out. No tactical masterclass, no glaring weaknesses either. Just… meh.
What Comes Next?
Ancelotti now faces Paraguay in São Paulo - a stadium Brazil hasn’t played at in years according to Vini. Home advantage could be the spark needed to ignite this project. But here’s my spicy take: if we’re still seeing these sterile performances by Matchday 3, then maybe - just maybe - club success doesn’t automatically translate to international management.
One thing’s certain though - when a generational talent like Vinicius voluntarily praises a coach during a mediocre result? That’s worth paying attention to.

گول نہیں پر تعریف کی بوچھاڑ!
وینیسیس جونیئر نے انچیلوٹی کو ‘بہترین کوچ’ قرار دے دیا، حالانکہ میچ 0-0 سے ختم ہوا! 🤣 کیا یہ کوچ کی تعریف ہے یا پھر ‘ابھی وقت لگے گا’ والا معذرت نامہ؟
نمبروں کا کھیل
xG 0.8؟ شاٹس صرف 3؟ یہ تو وہی پرانی کہانی ہے جب آپ کے امی ابو کہتے ہیں ‘بیٹا تمہاری صلاحیتیں تو بہت ہیں’… پر رزلٹ وہی ڈھاک کے تین پات! 😅
کمنٹس میں بتائیں - کیا انچیلوٹی واقعی ‘بہترین’ ہیں یا پھر وینیسیس نے محض اپنے کوچ کو خوش رکھنے کی کوشش کی؟ ⚽
ভিনিসিয়াসের মুখে চিনি!
ভিনিসিয়াস জুনিয়র বলেছেন আনচেলত্তিই তাঁর সেরা কোচ! অথচ ম্যাচটা ছিল ০-০ ড্র। এতেই বুঝুন, প্লেয়ারদের মন জয় করার কৌশলে আনচেলত্তি সত্যিই মাস্টার!
সংখ্যাগুলো বলে দিচ্ছে
xG দেখলে মনে হয় দুই দলই গোল করতে ভালোবাসে না। শট অন টার্গেট মাত্র ৩টি? আমরা কি ক্রিকেট দেখছি নাকি?
শেষ কথা
পরের ম্যাচে যদি আবার এমন হয়, তাহলে ভিনিসিয়াসকে জিজ্ঞেস করবো: ‘কোচ নাকি কৌশল?’ 😂
কি মনে হয় আপনাদের?
¿Vinicius está enamorado de Ancelotti o solo siendo educado?
Después del empate contra Ecuador, Vinicius soltó que Ancelotti es “el mejor entrenador” con el que ha trabajado. ¡Vaya declaración para un técnico que apenas lleva unos días en el banquillo!
Los números no mienten (pero tampoco emocionan)
0.8 de xG, 3 tiros a puerta… Vamos, que hasta un partido de dominó tiene más emoción. Pero tranquilos, que esto es solo el primer capítulo de la telenovela ‘Ancelotti en Brasil’.
Y tú, ¿crees que es amor verdadero o pura diplomacia? 😏 #LaPeliDelVerano
O Elogio que Vale um Empate
Vinicius Jr. declarando Ancelotti como “o melhor treinador” após um 0-0 contra o Equador? Isso sim é amor verdadeiro! Devia ganhar o Oscar de melhor atuação.
Estatísticas do Tédio
- xG: 0,8 (ou seja, quase gol)
- Chutes no alvo: 3 (dá pra contar nos dedos)
- Posse de bola: 58% (e zero emoção)
Será que o Vini tá tentando convencer a si mesmo? Ou será que o Mister Carlo já hipnotizou o menino antes mesmo de mostrar seu trabalho?
E aí, torcida, vamos dar tempo ao tempo ou já começar a gritar “Fora Ancelotti” no próximo jogo contra o Paraguai? 😂
وینیسیس جے آر کا انجیلوٹی کو خراج تحسین
وینیسیس جے آر نے کارلو انجیلوٹی کو ‘بہترین کوچ’ قرار دے دیا، حالانکہ میچ 0-0 پر ختم ہوا! کیا یہ کوچ کی تعریف ہے یا صرف ‘ابھی وقت لگے گا’ والی بات؟
اعداد و شمار بھی خاموش xG: 0.8، شاٹس: 3… یہ تو ایسے ہوا جیسے ٹیم نے ‘ڈرائنگ روم’ میں میچ کھیلا ہو!
آگے کیا ہوگا؟ اگر اگلے میچ میں بھی ایسا ہوا تو شاید ہمیں ‘انجیلوٹی ماسٹرکلاس’ کے بجائے ‘انجیلوٹی نیپ ٹائم’ دیکھنے کو ملے!
کیا آپ کو لگتا ہے کہ انجیلوٹی برازیل کو جیتنا سکھا پائیں گے؟ تبصرہ کر کے بتائیں!
¿El mejor técnico o el mejor actor?
Vinicius declarando a Ancelotti como ‘el mejor entrenador’ después de un empate aburrido contra Ecuador es como premiar a un chef por servir agua del grifo.
Datos que no mienten (pero duelen):
- xG más bajo que mi entusiasmo
- 3 remates al arco… ¡en 90 minutos!
- 58% de posesión para qué, si al final nadie se atreve a tirar.
Ojalá Ancelotti nos sorprenda contra Paraguay, porque si no, hasta el ‘Mejor Entrenador’ va a necesitar un milagro maradoniano. ¿Ustedes qué creen? ¡Comenten abajo!
Нудьга чи стратегія?
Вінісіус каже, що Анчелотті – найкращий тренер, але матч виявився нудним, як лекція з статистики.
Цифри не брешуть: 0.8 xG для Бразилії – це як обіцяти феєрверк, а показати свічку.
Але спокійно! Ще буде час побачити магію Анчелотті. А поки що… хтось знає, де можна взяти каву на цьому матчі? ☕⚽
