"159 minutes waiting for the end! Vinicius made the final decision, Ancelotti led the team to lock in the World Cup "

On June 11, in the 16th round of the World Cup South America, Brazil defeated Paraguay 1-0 at home. In the 44th minute, Cunia made a precise cross from the right, and Vinicius made a quick shot in front of the goal. This goal not only ended the Brazilian team's 159-minute sports drought, but also became Ancelotti's first goal in coaching the Samba Legion.

Pivot:

Vinicius national team scored 7 goals and 6 assists in 40 games, and 5 goals in 17 World Cup qualifiers (3 goals and 2 assists)

Brazil's ball possession rate was 73%, and the pass success rate was 87%, completely suppressing his opponent

Brazil advanced two rounds ahead of schedule, continuing the 23rd World Cup full attendance record

1. Tactical innovation: An Shuai's pragmatic transformation

Ancelotti ranked 4-2-3-1 in this game. In front of Vinicius, Guimaraes and Casemiro formed two midfielders. Compared with the dilemma of having only three shots when he tied Ecuador 0-0 in his debut, Brazil created 12 shots in this game and scored 2 consecutive games on the defensive end.

Expert Perspective:

Former Brazil international Kafu pointed out: "Coach An brought Vinicius closer to the penalty area and released his finishing ability "

Goalkeeper Alison admitted: "Tactical discipline improvement is the key to the clean sheet "

2. Historical inheritance: The tough background of the Yellow-Shirted Army

This victory makes Brazil the only team in the world that has never missed the World Cup main competition (1930-2026). Although the main players such as Militon and Rodrigo were injured before the game, the team still relied on teamwork to complete the task. The scene of Vinicius kissing the team logo after scoring a goal reminds people of the classic Afutou of Ronaldo in 2002.

Comparative data:

Brazil conceded 16 goals in this World Cup, and its defensive efficiency increased by 23% compared with the previous session

Home match against Paraguay in the last 10 World Cups, scoring 22 goals

3. Future challenges: Injury clouds and lineup optimization

Vinicius exited due to a hamstring strain in the 78th minute, casting a shadow on his victory. An Shuai needs to balance the transition between the old and the old in subsequent games - 19-year-old star Enderick has been on the inspection list. The top spot battle against Argentina on June 18 will be the real touchstone.
