On the eve of the match between Brazil and Paraguay, coach Tite avoided talking about the lineup that he will take to the field, but said that it could be seen in training this Monday afternoon, at Toca da Raposa II.
–
The match between Brazil and Paraguay takes place at 9:30 pm this Tuesday, at Mineirão, is valid for the 16th round of the World Cup Qualifiers and will be broadcast by Globo, SporTV and give.
–
– I understand the importance for all of you (journalists) to publicize. We also have that responsibility. In the afternoon we will define. You will be able to follow the training and definition of the team in the afternoon – said the coach.
–
In another response, when talking about the importance of public support, Tite indicated that he should take a team with young athletes to the field:
–
– When you feel supported and encouraged, and I’m talking about the athlete and the commission, the possibility of performance is better. When he goes to a place that he hugs and encourages, he performs better. I look at Juninho and César. You feel confident. It’s not about being perfect, but courageous about taking the initiative. I’ll take it socially. It is a way for the team and these young people, and they will have a lot of young people, to feel confident. May the yellow shirt be responsibility, but trust.

The coach will make at least two changes in relation to last Thursday’s duel, against Ecuador. Suspended, Émerson Royal and Éder Militão have already been released to leave the Brazilian concentration and return to their clubs in Europe.
–
On the right-back, Daniel Alves will be the starter. Already in the defense, it is possible that Tite promotes the debut of Gabriel Magalhães for the national team. Last Saturday, the Brazilian technical commission did specific marking work with him and Marquinhos.
–
There is still a great possibility that Real Madrid athletes Casemiro and Vini Jr, mainly, as they started last Thursday, will be spared and stay on the bench, alongside Rodrygo. There was contact and request from the Spanish club, which on Thursday will face Athletic Bilbao in the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey.
–
Asked if the priority at the moment is the observation of players or the development of the collective game, Tite said:
–
– A big challenge is to combine the two factors. It’s the big challenge. Have a ensemble structure that allows the individual to appear. And not transferring responsibility, giving a game, half a game, hit and take. Provide team structure so that the athlete performs at their best. The question and objective is very intelligent. It is our goal: to combine the collective with the individual.
–
In another response, the coach added:
–
– (We seek) Balance between mental and physical, experience and youth. We are having time to create more opportunities for this mix, unlike in 2016 (in my first year in charge of the Selection). Today there is that time. Also because we did a campaign that gave us the opportunity to get there. Are we leaving the opponent aside? No. Everything that is good, dead ball, collective game. But the situation gives us the opportunity to do this with young people. Balance it all.

Neymar, Vini Jr and Paquetá together

– The question is tactical. Short and thick: yes, they can play together.

Pre-Cup remarks and definitions
–
– We have to be careful. At a time of casting, yes. These are opportunities that the athletes are showing, in a dispute for the final call. This is the moment that good is yes. in the afternoon, we will translate and provide opportunities within a team structure to provide opportunities. Not randomly. But you can, within harmony, so that versatile players can make a 3, 2, 3 exit. From attacking, in 4-4-1, with two forwards forwards and that turned 4-2-3. Of you having this montage, versatility and ability to observe.
–
– She links this question to the previous one, about this squad building, different structures, of playing with one less player, one more, as we had the opportunity. I’m imagining that when Venezuela scored low, 4-5-1, they don’t leave. We put two pivots, two wide open externals and Firmino in the midfield with Paquetá. So find those possibilities. This is the moment. To have a year with injured players and provide opportunities for those who can do their best.

Effectiveness against Ecuador
–
– This line is linked to these two games. It establishes that stage and, more specifically, against Ecuador, which was a crazy game. Popcorn pot that jumped. Cléber was happy that VAR refereeing was fundamental. Always team performance is the most important, emotional balance was important. React to refereeing errors politely. Just as I had information that there would be no penalty. It is the sense of the right of the just. Having made this observation, when I speak of effectiveness. Opportunities that you create in the last third with precision, to score goals, from a plate, to take out the goalkeeper. But at no time did I say that it was an ideal game. I just put that she created, that she had more precise finishing and she could have translated it into effectiveness.
–
– I have a great feeling, I made great friends during my time at Atlético. I have people with special admiration. There is a double feeling of not having done my best work and failure at Atlético. this is sentimental, with a sense of debt, if I could put it. Not character, or conduct, but a sense of result. At Mineirão, what a welcome we had. The two games against Argentina were a beautiful atmosphere, of truly rooting for the national team, they root for the clubs, but identification and affection with the athlete. The two presentations were very beautiful in that sense.
–
Smoother game against Paraguay?
–
– It was a bumpy game (against Ecuador). And I allow distrust. When I went to the side and asked, firmly but politely, for the referee to look at the VAR, (coach Gustavo) Alfaro said to me: “Tite, it’s the game of our lives”. I said: “I know, but it’s the athlete’s life who wants to go to the Cup”. Each has its context. Had a series of accidents. I would like to predict and be more relaxed about the games. Maybe that’s one of my career goals. That when things don’t work out, I improve. And when it doesn’t work out, I look for evolution. Maybe he didn’t want it to be like that at Atlético. But maybe that helped me and Atlético, who were champions of everything afterwards. This turmoil of evolving stays here in me. But I don’t play calmer, no.
–
– We have a very large group and very large options. We want to strengthen this whole team.
–
Change against Ecuador
–
– How do you have an ideal? When I have a player sent off, the most balanced system is 4-3-2. When it happened, and the Ecuador team has two outfielders with two full-backs who attack all the time. I want to attack the opponent and neutralize the strengths. The 4-3-2 to dance with the players we had, he wouldn’t marry, it doesn’t give this structured team. Then he sought, let’s keep the players to attack. What do I have to attack? The two external. A good example of this is Gabriel Jesus, who the goalkeeper had to look for. Casemiro makes the pass, has the infiltration, and he comes out in front of the goal. Let’s explore, because we have an arrow for that. At the same time, we have to take from the opponent what he has best. Every game has its story. For that game it wasn’t the best.
