Fernando Diniz, interim technical director of Brazil, praised the Argentine National Team in the run-up to this Tuesday’s classic at the Maracaná, for the sixth date of the Qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup (United States, Mexico and Canada).

“If it’s not the best, it’s one of the best. It’s been a while, not just because it won the World Cup. There are players from the most important leagues, prominently. And there’s Messi,” said the Fluminense coach. at a press conference.

“It is a team that has been playing for a long time, has a winning cycle and has maintained a base. If it is not the best, it is among the three currently. We are aware of this and we will prepare to give our best against a great rival,” Diniz added.

At the same time, he made clear the difficulty of facing Lionel Messi, star and captain of the Albiceleste: “Messi moves. Regarding the midfield, I don’t see it like that (Argentina) plays with three in the middle. Football is not It’s about that, adjustments and cohesion are what will make or break the game. There is no way not to worry about a player of that size. And we have to play. Don’t run away from the features and at the same time try to contain all the capacity creative that he has.

Diniz’s explanation of Brazil’s super offensive scheme

Fernando Diniz, interim coach of the Brazil national team, explained his decision to build an attack with Raphinha, Rodrygo, Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli. “I don’t see football like you do, that if I added one more player, a midfielder or midfielder, the team would be better protected. I don’t see it that way. Brazil played with a similar formation in the World Cup. Neymar, who is also a striker, two open wingers, a center forward, and Paquetá, with a more offensive characteristic even than Bruno Guimarães,” he said.

“They treat the quartet as something innovative, but it is not. What changes is that there is a new way of playing, with more aggressiveness, and the team is adapting, that takes a little time,” he said. And he added: “My way of thinking about football is not to departmentalize the game: the defense is at the back, the midfield is in the middle and the attack is in front. It is a much more organic way, more joint, all the players have to play cohesive so that things work more effectively.
