Brazil could easily have lost their heads against Japan. They trailed 1-0, looked flat and were heading out of the World Cup.

But one man was certain to stay calm.

Carlo Ancelotti’s experience shone through in how he masterminded a second-half turnaround – and showed why Brazil hired him.

5x UCL Winner…..I think Carlo Ancelotti is the greatest knockout football coach in history, and if he wins this World Cup, it will only reinforce that claim. Knockout football is a completely different game from league football. It isn’t always about dominating possession or creating the most chances, it’s about solving problems in real time, staying calm under immense pressure, and making decisive adjustments when everything seems to be going against you. That has always been Ancelotti’s biggest strength.

Time and time again throughout his career, his teams have gone behind, been outplayed for periods, or looked destined to crash out, yet somehow he’s always finding the right tactical tweak, the right substitution, or simply the right message to turn the game around. That can’t be luck surely, that’s a pattern.

What impressed me most today was how composed he remained after Brazil conceded. There was no panic on the touchline, no rushed decisions. He identified where Japan were hurting his team, made the necessary adjustments, and gradually took control of the game. That’s the difference between a good coach and a truly elite knockout coach.

If he goes on to lift the World Cup with Brazil, it would be the ultimate proof that his brilliance isn’t limited to club football. Winning countless knockout ties in Europe is one thing, but conquering the biggest international tournament would put him in a category of his own. At that point, I don’t think there would be much left to debate about who the greatest knockout manager in football history is.

Pada tahun 2022, Gabriel Martinelli merefleksikan masa kecilnya, menceritakan betapa ia mencintai sepak bola, namun tak begitu bermimpi untuk menjadi seorang profesional.

Sampai akhirnya, Piala Dunia tiba.

"Saat bendera terpampang di depan rumahmu,' tulisnya di Players' Tribune,

"Saat ada 15 anggota keluarga di halaman belakangmu, televisi dikeluarkan, ada balon, kembang api, klakson yang bersahutan, sepupumu berlarian menaiki tangga, dan pamanmu sedang memanggang barbeku... bagaimana mungkin kamu tidak bermimpi?"

"Kamu menyaksikan Seleção dan kamu berpikir: 'Bayangkan mengenakan seragam itu di ajang Piala Dunia."

Malam ini, Martinelli tak hanya mengenakan seragam kuning ikonik itu. Gabriel Martinelli bahkan mencetak salah satu gol terpenting dalam kariernya, di Piala Dunia.

🚨 Carlo Ancelotti menjelaskan kenapa ia tidak merayakan kemenangan Brasil secara berlebihan setelah gol telat Gabriel Martinelli ke gawang Jepang.
Ancelotti berkata:
"Orang-orang bertanya kenapa saya tidak merayakan dengan heboh. Tapi sepak bola juga tentang rasa hormat. Ya, kami senang karena menang, tetapi saya melihat tim Jepang yang sudah memberikan segalanya di lapangan. Mereka bermain dengan sangat berani, dan saya tahu betapa sakitnya menerima kekalahan seperti itu."

"Tentu saja, di dalam hati saya ikut merayakan karena tugas saya adalah membawa Brasil lolos, dan itu memang tujuan kami. Tetapi saya sudah sangat lama berada di dunia sepak bola dan sudah merasakan kemenangan maupun kesedihan."

"Kadang-kadang, cara terbaik untuk menghormati lawan adalah tetap rendah hati, bahkan saat kita sedang berada di momen kemenangan terbesar."
"Jepang membuat kami kesulitan selama 95 menit. Mereka pantas mendapatkan rasa hormat, bukan perayaan yang berlebihan."

"Brasil memang berhasil lolos, tetapi kami tahu masih banyak yang harus diperbaiki. Malam ini kami merayakan kelolosan, tetapi besok kami harus kembali bekerja, karena perjalanan menuju Piala Dunia akan menjadi semakin sulit dari sini."

Eberechi Eze will be back to Selhurst Park lifting Premier League trophy with Arsenal. The universe could not write a better script for that man. A fanboy turned into player, with the embrace of the team who raised him and wished him well when he left. It all worked out. ❤️

[The Flanker @theflankerID]

ARSENAL. EMANG. LAYAK. JUARA.

SELAMAT!

Gimana pun, mereka tim terbaik musim ini. Kenapa terbaik? Karena mereka punya kontrol, karena mereka mampu membuat lawan tak mampu menembus pertahanan mereka. Mereka juga menemukan solusi cetak gol.

Defence, after all, wins you title(s).

For everyone who suffered through 8-2.

For everyone who half 6 at Stamford Bridge in Wenger’s 1,000th game.

For everyone who suffered through Baku.

For everyone who had to go to school after conceding 10 to Bayern.

Today is for you. Drink it all in. We deserve this.
