The Brazilian team participating in the Copa America this time, their head coach Menezes succeeded Dunga after the 2010 World Cup, and there have been major adjustments in personnel, and the tactical style has gradually reversed Dunga's pragmatism style to the subversion of Brazil's traditional tactical style.

Dunga, who captained the Copa America, the World Cup and the Confederations Cup, and won the Grand Slam, took over the helm of Brazil after the 2006 World Cup, when Brazil lost to Zidan's France, Pereka resigned, and Dunga began to rebuild the Brazilian team subversively according to his pragmatism.

The word subversive is used because in the four years that Dunga has taken over, the tactical style of the Brazilian team has been substantially adjusted!

As we all know, the Brazilian team in 2006 has been continuing the Sambalu of "genius-based, tactically supplemented", which is unique in the modern football era of diversified tactical theory and scientific rigor, and for decades, the Brazilian team has relied on the exemplary configuration of "genius center + genius forward" to achieve fame.

Even the dazzling technical movements are quite monotonous when summed up in tactical theory: when there is no opportunity, you can only frequently reverse your feet, and when attacking to the front, you rely on the exquisite crosses of the dominant forward midfield, coupled with the keen sense of smell of a powerful center, the two sharp weapons work together, and the blow is fatal!

However, centre-forwards like Ronaldo and Adriano, and dominant forwards like Ronaldinho and Kaka are not always available, and in the absence of these talents, Dunga is undoubtedly more obsessed with the Brazilian team with him as the core in the 1994 World Cup era in the United States, and has changed from emphasizing genius as the core to emphasizing tactical discipline as the core.

After taking over the Brazilian team after the 2006 World Cup, Dunga's iron fist and tactical discipline replaced the team-building idea centered on talented players, which left Brazilian fans unable to adapt for a long time.

During Dunga's four years as coach of the Brazilian team, he rejected superstars such as Ronaldo, Pato, Adriano, and Ronaldinho, and formed a front field with Kaka, Robinho and Fabiano as the core, and mainly focused on stabilizing the backfield, changing the style of Brazilian football and playing defensive counter-attacks.

Except for the rejection of those geniuses. On the Felipe? In terms of Melo's use, Dunga is also very persistent, in his mind, the simple style of play Felipe? Melo has a shadow of his own, and Dunga seems to see him as his successor, these players who were selected for the Brazilian national team for the first time at the age of 25 years and 7 months, whether it is the World Preliminary Tournament or the Confederations Cup, are one of the few key players who start every game and play the whole game, and gradually become irreplaceable figures in the Brazilian team.

Although his tactical style and personnel were questioned, Dunga proved himself with victory after victory, winning the 2007 Copa America. Winner of the 2009 Confederations Cup. Let those opposing voices die down for a while.

In the quarterfinals of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. In Brazil's match against the Netherlands, Melo opened the scoring with a beautiful through ball from midfield in the first half. But later, due to the bias of the referee and the anger of Robben's acting skills, he couldn't control his emotions in the game and stepped on Robben. He was sent off with a red card and eliminated from the tournament with Brazil.

The defeat caused the long-suppressed emotions to explode, and after the game, Dunga resigned.

After Dunga's resignation, the Brazilian Football Federation, all the work was to prepare for the 2014 World Cup on home, after Dunga's resignation, the most vocal Scolari rejected the invitation of the Brazilian Football Federation, and the second choice Ramalho also retreated. In the end, he signed with Corinthians head coach Menezes, which was actually a choice in desperation.

After taking over the helm, after a period of investigation and several training camps, Luo and Kaka still did not reduce the figure of Luo and Kaka in the 23-man list finally confirmed before the start of the Copa America. The reason is that they are not in the best shape with injuries, and of course, the questionable Felipe? Melo and a group of Dunga-era players are no longer on the list, and 11 of the 23 players in Menezes' Brazilian team are selected for the first time!

It is clear that Menezes is using this Copa America as a test stone for the Brazilian team.

However, in the group stage, they were forced to draw by Paraguay and Ecuador in succession, and the goal was conceded twice in the victory over Ecuador, and this Brazilian team made Brazilian fans even more disappointed.

Compared with his predecessors, Menezes' biggest difference is that he reuses domestic players and ignores overseas teams, especially Neymar, a young striker from Santos, and praises the striker born in 1992 as a new generation of football kings in the near future.

Basically, Menezes' approach is to build the Brazilian team into a team with Neymar as the "core of talent" before 2014, so that Brazilian football will gradually return to the traditional model of "talent-based, tactically supplemented".

For this new Brazilian team, Baggio and the coaching team of the Hong Kong team have made a detailed analysis of the three games in their group stage, especially for Menezes's tactical system that has not yet been perfected in the "Neymar core", Baggio has also put a lot of effort into it.

Neymar, who is 1.75 meters tall and weighs 65 kilograms, is obviously not a strong center forward of the Ronaldo and Adriano types, this short and thin body is quite similar to the "lone wolf" Romario.

Unlike Romario, who likes to attack by "stealing the ball" in the front line, Neymar has a mediocre ability to press up front, and most of his goals are scored by receiving passes from teammates and breaking through with excellent quick dribbling.

In Menezes' 4-2-3-1 formation, Neymar's position is like Messi's arrow position at Barcelona, and behind him, Robinho, Pato and Ganso are his main ammunition providers.

In particular, Ganso, born in 1989, is a close friend of Neymar, the two have known each other since their youth days, and the two are now attacking partners of Brazilian club Santos, who just teamed up to win the Copa Libertadores in the 2011 season for Santos.

When the selection was finalized, Menezes used form as an excuse to close Kaka and Ronaldo out of the national team, taking into account that in terms of midfield playmaking, Ganso and Neymar are more familiar with the combination.

Of course, in Baggio's view, Menezes has another consideration, as a local coach of the Mesozoic generation in Brazil, Menezes does not have the prestige of Scolari, nor does he have a prominent national team resume like Dunga, so if he allows world-class superstars like Kaka and Ronaldo to join, and let them recognize the young Neymar as the tactical core, the subordination relationship may be difficult to balance.

As for the other two players in the midfield attacking quartet, Robinho and Pato, they are not the No. 1 core in the AC Milan attack system, and they can play a supporting role for Ibrahimovic in Europe, and give the "Neymar-Ganso" combination but let the supporting role in China, although there is a slight psychological imbalance, but it is much better than letting Kaka and Ronaldo play a supporting role!

In this game, the Hong Kong team, which is still in a 5-4-1 formation, was instructed by Baggio, and in the middle of the defense, Chen Zhaoqi recovered it, and Lin Zhijian's task was to pinch Paul Ganso, Zhai Tingfeng and Xie Jiaqiang to mark Neymar's middle defense, and Chen Zhuo was cruising between the two groups of defense, responsible for cutting off the ball path between Ganso and Neymar.

For this Brazilian team, Baggio also found a fatal problem for them.

In this 4-2-3-1 formation, the four frontcourt attacking players, Robinho, Pato, Ganso and Neymar, are all stronger in attack than in defense, and the four of them also have a common problem, that is, poor awareness of counter-robbery after losing the ball, except for Robinho, the other three players almost never counter-rob after losing the ball or even making mistakes!

This style of play undoubtedly doubled the pressure on the two backs of the Brazilian team, drawing 2:2 with Paraguay and winning 4:2 against Ecuador, conceding two goals in each game, all of which were scored by the opponent when they broke the two backs when counterattacking!

For the Hong Kong team, although the technical level was pulled down by the Brazilian team more than one notch, but through the high-intensity rushing tactics in the middle, the Brazilian team was gradually forced to the side, when they began to carry out more side breakthrough crosses, there is no doubt that this is no longer their mercury style of short pass penetration in the middle, for a variety of high-ball defense and point-grabbing melee in the penalty area, the Hong Kong team led by the five European aids, relatively not so difficult!

The match was held at the Estadio de la Plata 65 kilometers from Buenos Aires, and there were more than half of the neutral spectators present, and the Chinese spectators and Brazilian spectators were almost the same, with three or four thousand people.

After a long attack, the Brazilian team seemed a little anxious, especially in the 40th minute, Zhai Tingfeng shoveled down Neymar, and the referee's mercy also caused great dissatisfaction among the Brazilian players......

After all, he is young, after all, he is still in the run-in period, and Baggio watched all this quietly from the sidelines.

A cool breeze blows and the sleepy spectators in the stands are stirred, and the cities of Buenos Aires and La Plata, both close to the Atlantic coast, have a subtropical maritime climate with frequent showers......

At halftime, the score was still 0-0, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier...... If it rains so heavily, for the Brazilian team, the advantage of short pass penetration and coordination is even more impossible to mention!

When he saw the pouring rain on the stadium in the live broadcast, the Hong Kong commentator couldn't help but sigh that God didn't even help the Brazilian team! For such a world-class team, the Hong Kong team cannot defeat them, and the only one who can defeat the Brazilian team is the Brazilian team itself!
