Selection: Bruno Guimarães praises midfielder with Paquetá and evaluates system change

Bruno Guimarães liked Brazil's lineup in the last friendly against Egypt, but said he doesn't know if the plan will be repeated by Carlo Ancelotti in the Brazilian team's debut at the World Cup.

"He didn't tell us anything. Sorry, I can't tell you, because I don't even know", said the midfielder, in a good-humored tone, when asked about the starting lineup that the Amarelinha coach said he had already defined for the game against Morocco.

In a press conference this Monday (8), Guimarães praised the Seleção's game plan with three midfielders, especially with the presence of Lucas Paquetá, who was a starter in the last match.

"I think that in our dynamic, having an extra player in the middle, especially in this last game, was very interesting, I think we had a lot more one-two, table-top dynamics. We had a lot of chances, especially in the first half, to score more goals and we ended up failing a little in the shots", he analyzed.

I have a rapport with Paquetá since Lyon, we already know each other very well, so it was a little easier to play there. But that's up to the coach, whether it's going to be 4-4-2, 4-3-3, anyway, we're there to, however he puts the pieces on the field, perform to the best of our ability.

4-2-4 and the defensive sector
The Newcastle player also considered the strengths and weaknesses of the 4-2-4 scheme, adopted by Ancelotti until then. Furthermore, he praised the team's defensive sector, stating that there was an improvement compared to the game against Panama.

"I think that, to attack, we are left with the 4-2-4 formation that gives you more options, but at the same time you have the more direct team, you don't have that midfielder there, or another player in the middle, who will make the ball reach the front. It really depends on the characteristics", he explained.

"In this game, compared to the Panama game, we defended better too, the goal was unfortunate for us, they didn't create a goal for us, and that is very positive. As I said, it will depend on how the manager will understand the game, on how he will feel it is better for us to play", he added.
