A Broken First Half Carlo Ancelotti delivered an absolute managerial masterclass today. He rescued a sluggish Brazilian squad from a historic World Cup upset. Japan completely outsmarted Brazil during the opening forty-five minutes. The Japanese executed a flawless 5-4-1 defensive formation. They choked the Brazilian attackers and scored a brilliant counter-attacking goal. Ancelotti watched his expensive superstars fail miserably against the Asian underdogs. The Ruthless Changes Ancelotti executed ruthless tactical changes exactly at halftime. He benched Lucas Paqueta and introduced teenage sensation Endrick.
