00:00Was he to blame because it was a Brazil-Japan match and he wasn't used to having Brazil-Japan matches like that?
00:04No, it was thanks to an incredible comeback, a sensational turnaround, and that's what the World Cup is all about.
00:11At the time of this conversation, Congo is winning 1-0 in England.
00:15It turned around, England turned around.
00:16It turned around then, until the moment they were winning 1-0 in England, but so you can see that it didn't.
00:19It's an easy game,
00:21There is no victory without sacrifice; the teams are very well organized, practically all of them are very disciplined.
00:27And Brazil is having a very strong run in this competition, that's the most important thing.
00:31He's managing to play great games and get great results.
00:34We're going to have a tough challenge right now, which is Norway.
00:38We know it won't be easy, but Brazil will need to get through this with planning.
00:43Has the team clicked yet? Do we think it's going very well?
00:47I think so, that's the natural tendency, being able to run from the youngsters, the team gains confidence.
00:52They start trusting each other, they get used to each other, and that makes everyone's job easier.
00:57I think that now Ancelotti's system has really clicked, and the trend now is for Brazil to produce great performances.
01:02games.
01:03It was Meritão, then it became Wesley, now it's Danilo, a super veteran guy.
01:06How do you see your position for the national team?
01:09It is very well represented today with Danilo's experience.
01:12Danilo had been playing as a third center-back for Juventus for a long time.
01:15He came to Flamengo, played a few games as a defender, and then returned to playing as a full-back.
01:19He started as a full-back and is representing the Brazilian national team very well today.
01:22He's an experienced player, a player who will bring composure and control the pace of the game in the way Ancelotti needs.
01:28over there on the right side.
01:29Ancelotti has five Champions League titles and he has to wake up at six in the morning tomorrow to go to work.
01:33Cafu, as a fan, would have also taken Casemiro out.
01:37How were you viewing the game at that moment? Because the halftime break was a turning point for Brazil.
01:41Ancelotti is the person you all know. He doesn't give in to pressure when it comes to tactical changes within the team.
01:48field.
01:49He knows what he has in his hands, he knows the potential of all the players who are there.
01:53He knows what each player can deliver and when they can deliver.
01:56That's why he's an Ancelotti who won everything wherever he went, and we hope he can too.
02:01Together with Brazil, let's bring the Hexa Championship to us too.
02:04It's not difficult; they're tough decisions to make on the field, but only those who are on the field know.
02:09The right time to make that decision.
02:10Cafu, I want to ask you about a full-back. Daniel Munhoz is unusually a full-back to appear at the World Cup doing...
02:15Two goals, and he's also playing football.
02:17What role models does the full-back have in the Colombian national team?
02:19But he's a full-back who has been standing out for a long time. I've said for a long time that the southern national teams...
02:24The American women would be a tough opponent in this World Cup.
02:27Because they are very strong teams, very well-trained teams. And when I see the full-back who goes up the line of
02:32A player who attacks without the ball, who shoots for goal, who scores goals – I'm very happy about that.
02:36How's it going for Haaland?
02:38Look, we have a defender who's already used to this. I saw their match in England. They are
02:46Two giants, two trucks, two lorries, and they're going to clash on the field.
02:52I think our defense knows how to deal with him. He's a center forward who likes to...
02:57He scores goals; he's a center forward who is always very well positioned.
03:00He's the kind of guy we know that when the ball hits him, it ends up going in. But we're already prepared for...
03:06which can neutralize not only Haaland, but whoever brings the ball to Haaland, which is the most...
03:10important.
03:10Do you feel that this World Cup is dominated by South American teams that could potentially reach the finals, given the circumstances?
03:15of the Argentine and Brazilian public disciples?
03:17I think so. Not only Argentina and Brazil, but Paraguay and Colombia as well, who are in a dispute.
03:23very large along with Argentina.
03:24These are teams that are representing the South American continent very well.
03:30Who knows, maybe we can get one of our teams to the final and bring home that title again.
03:35on our continent, since the opening of the World Cup in 2030 will be there.
03:39How much do you delude yourself about Brazil?
03:43Man, I'm the most optimistic Brazilian in the world. I'm very patriotic and loyal to the national team.
03:48Brazilian, what can the Brazilian national team do?
03:51We know the World Cup is difficult, it's not an easy competition, but with the good prospect of Brazil reaching the final...
03:56to win the Hexa.
03:57Allow me, please, a question. You are the only player who has been in three consecutive finals with the
04:04Brazil, you won two.
04:05The last time you won, in 2002, you lifted the trophy. Consider Brazil with that possibility, and what's your opinion now?
04:13Even from Spain?
04:14I am convinced that Brazil can indeed reach the World Cup final; they have what it takes to win.
04:20The sixth championship.
04:21Spain is a very well-trained, very well-organized team; a young team, but with experienced players in their respective fields.
04:28clubs.
04:28We hope they can go as far as possible as well.
04:37Brazil has been achieving its goals and working towards reaching the final of the competition.
04:42We know it's difficult, but despite all the difficulties, Brazil is still Brazil.
04:45How do you see Neymar performing in the 2026 World Cup?
04:50So far, we haven't seen Neymar yet because he hasn't had the opportunity to play.
04:55Neymar will have his opportunity, he's an important player, a player who...
05:01We know that the moment he steps onto the field, he will give his all and contribute.
05:05with the Brazilian national team.
05:06Argentina, for that...
