Ancelotti indicates options for Paquetá's place against Norway

Without being able to count on Lucas Paquetá for the decisive game against Norway in the World Cup, Carlo Ancelotti, coach of the Brazilian team, designed possible replacements. The Italian coach mentioned names such as Danilo, Gabriel Martinelli and Éderson, as well as Matheus Cunha, who is already among the team's starters.

For Ancelotti, the Brazilian squad has athletes with the same quality as Paquetá, but with different characteristics. Therefore, the choice will be made considering the specificities of this Sunday's opponent (5) and the tactical strategy.

"We have players with Paquetá's quality in the squad, with different characteristics, like Danilo, who is different from Martinelli, Cunha, Ederson. The choice will be based on our team's game, taking into account the strength of the rival, thinking about making the idea we want for tomorrow work", said the coach.

Ancelotti details the substitutes' roles
Ancelotti deepened his analysis of the possible substitutes, detailing the offensive and defensive responsibilities that the chosen one will have in the tie. The versatility of the players is a key point for the team's tactical adaptation.

"Defensively, we need someone on the left, like Paquetá did, and Martinelli or Danilo can do that. With the ball, they need to occupy the left midfielder role well, which Vini sometimes occupies and, in this case, Douglas advances, it could be Martinelli. At a defensive or offensive level, it doesn't change, but rather the player's interpretation, depending on the characteristics", explained the coach.

The match between Brazil and Norway takes place this Sunday, at 5pm (Brasília time), at the MetLife Stadium, in New Jersey, in the United States. The winner of the match will advance to the quarter-finals of the World Cup, where they will face whoever advances from England and Mexico.
