Episode notes
Brazil just smashed Panama 6-2, but the scoreline doesn't tell the full story. If you watched the game, you saw why Carlo Ancelotti has major doubts about his World Cup tactics.
In this review, Tim Vickery goes beyond the goals to analyse why Brazil's starting lineup looked disjointed and how a second-half formation tweak changed everything. He dives into the Casemiro and Bruno Guimarães partnership, standouts like Danilo Santos and Lucas Paquetá, and the structural flaws Ancelotti must fix before the World Cup kicks off.
