Historic defeats, managerial upheaval and turmoil at the federation have plagued the national team for two years. This summer is a chance for a reset Brazil enter the 2024 Copa América in flux. A side that routinely waltzes into World Cups as favourites has fallen behind quality European opponents. And increasingly the Seleção are struggling in South America, too. They’ve yet to find their groove in the post-Tite era. The former head coach was moved on after back-to-back World Cup quarter-final exits in Russia and Qatar. And in the 18 months since Tite departed, little has gone to plan. CBF president Ednaldo Rodrigues guaranteed that Carlo Ancelotti would replace Tite by the end of his contract with Real Madrid, and hit on the creative (or unusual) tactic of installing Fluminense coach Fernando Diniz as a bridge appointment until Ancelotti arrived, with Diniz keeping his club responsibilities alongside the national team.

This time it came with laughter, a touch of pantomime about it, like they were fools for even trying. Did you really think you were going to beat this guy?! Kepler Laveran de Lima Ferreira? Have you learned nothing these last 79 minutes? These past 22 years? They weren’t great crosses, it is true. It is also true that Pepe wasn’t pleased with the first of the three headers, conceding a corner from which he then towered over them all, forehead twice thudding on leather, each header firmer and funnier than the last. But it came as a nice, almost cartoonish cameo of a colossus, this character who shouldn’t be playing this well. Who probably shouldn’t be playing at all any more. Not at his age. “If you’re a neutral fan watching the game and you see Pepe playing, you would never believe that he is 41 years old,” Roberto Martínez said. Continue reading...
