Ancelotti: Scotland upset Morocco… and Konya’s place is not guaranteed

Italy’s Carlo Ancelotti, Brazil’s coach, refused to commit to continuing to rely on Matheus Cunha as a direct striker despite scoring a first-half brace against Haiti.

At dawn on Saturday, Samba managed to beat Haiti with three clean sheets. In the second round of the third group in the World Championship.

Cunha came on as a substitute for Igor Thiago after he came on as a substitute in the 61st minute of Brazil’s first round match, which ended in a 1–1 draw against Morocco.

The Italian coach responded At the press conference of the Haiti meetingWhen asked if Kunya will keep his position as a striker, he said briefly. “Maybe it will happen.”

Explaining his technical vision, Ancelotti added: “I think that the position Kunya was in was great for creating problems for the opponent’s defense.

“Samba” coach continued. “This question can be an option. We discussed that issue yesterday. I don’t want a clear and distinct tactical identity, and maybe we’ll make a change in the next game.”

Brazil top the group table with four points, ahead of Morocco on goal difference, after the Atlas Lions beat three-pointers Scotland earlier on Friday.

Scotland will go into next Wednesday’s clash in Miami looking to defend their chances of staying in the tournament, but Ancelotti insisted he is focused on his side’s wider vision and bigger goals.

“We’re not thinking about knocking Scotland out, we’re thinking about playing well and raising our level and we’ll analyze the match.”

“If we can finish first in the group, it will be very important for the future, so we want to prepare well for that match. Scotland have their characteristics and strengths and they can create problems and that caused problems for Morocco today and that’s why we have to focus on the game, stay calm and keep working to develop and improve.”
