@scmfck44 Brazil’s pragmatic and overwhelming approach was also born of tactical adaptation and changes made by Ancelotti that Moryasu failed to adapt to.
One system can be incredibly flexible and effective, but if one does not account for the opponent’s changes then it can be countered.
@danielinniel I’m Brazilian and even I wouldn’t say it was. After their goal Japan didn’t really do all that much, they defended very well but the second half was mostly about us gradually breaking it down.
