Brazil’s new era could not have started in a better way. Dorival Junior’s task in the ‘Canarinha’ will not be easy, he assumes the responsibility of a team touched by his pride, but with a generation that wants to leave its mark, and against England he made it clear. Given the loss of Casemiro, a Seleção legend, the coach left glimpses of those who will be his heirs in the medium term, Bruno Guimarães and João Gomes along with Lucas Paquetá in the midfield.
Wembley was the ideal setting for the beginning of the rebirth of a new Brazil. With a game of quick and clean transitions, the Rio de Janeiro core (the three players were born in Rio de Janeiro) prevailed almost without opposition against the magic of Bellingham, the heart of Gallagher and the brain of Declan Rice. Brazil left sparks in London, but the revolution has only just begun.
Dorival gave the alternative to Bruno Guimarães to be the metronome of Brazil’s game, and he did not disappoint. The Newcastle player consolidated himself in the double pivot alongside João Gomes to get the ball played. Guimarães will have to take a step forward in the Seleção, expectations are high for him to finally lead the baton of the five-time champion. This season has been his breakthrough in England with the ‘Magpies’. It is expected that this summer he will be able to make the jump to a big one.
Along with Bruno, João Gomes had a double start in his senior debut as a reward for his fantastic season in England with the Wolves. He was the only one who played 90′ in the English fiefdom where he stood out in defensive work (3 clearances, 3 interceptions and 2 tackles). Gomes is one of Dorival’s clearest bets for the future, whom he knows perfectly after winning the Copa Libertadores together with Flamengo in 2022, along with André Trindade, who did not play against England. Brazil has its particular casting in these matches for next summer’s Copa América.
Dorival throws hand of Emery’s jewel
Douglas Luiz has finally exploded at Unai Emery’s Aston Villa. The Carioca was one of the latest additions to the list, almost reviled by Diniz during his interim tenure, Dorival did not hesitate to call him as another alternative for his midfield. Although he barely had a little more than 10′ on the field, the ‘Villain’ left glimpses of his quality with 83% passing effectiveness. Douglas will start a priori as a luxury stimulus for the former São Paulo coach

In the run-up to the duel against the ‘Three Lions’ he did not forget to thank Emery for his bet: “The arrival of the coach, Unai Emery, was important. He helped me a lot. With the previous coaches he played as a 5. His arrival gave me more freedom, exactly how I like to play.”
