Casemiro returns to the national team? With one sentence, Ancelotti becomes the biggest variable!

As soon as Ancelotti officially announced his coaching of the Brazilian national team, Casemiro "can't sit still."

An exclusive interview has once again brought the Manchester United midfielder to the spotlight. In the past year, the voices about him being "old", "can't keep up with the rhythm" and "marginalized from the national team" have never stopped. Now, just because of the arrival of one person, his tone has changed and his mentality has also changed.

"When you have a coach like Ancelotti, you will be closer to victory." Casemiro's words not only ignited the enthusiasm of the fans, but also exposed his unwillingness and expectations for the national team.

Many people did not expect that the relationship between Casemiro and Ancelotti was far deeper than we thought. He not only respects the Italian coach, but regards him as one of the three most important mentors in his career, and even maintains long-term contact with An Shuai's son, assistant coach David.

This is not an ordinary relationship between superiors and subordinates, but more like a continuation of friendship between old friends.

How deep is this emotion? Before Real Madrid played against Barcelona, ​​Ancelotti actually called Casemiro to ask about tactical ideas and psychological state, which is rare in professional football. A coach is willing to listen to the players' opinions, and a player is willing to share his voice. This "interactive trust" has long gone beyond the tactical level.

This is why Casemiro is still thinking about it many years later. He knew that even if he was not in his best condition, he could find a place in Ancelotti's system. It’s not because of favor, but because of tacit understanding.

This trust is also the source of confidence for him to "hint on his return" in the interview.

Looking back at the past year, Casemiro completely fell out of favor in the national team, and the Dorival era was not even called up. It seems to be a natural rhythm of replacement, but in fact it reflects the helplessness of a veteran after his competitive state declines.

Unfortunately, time waits for no one. There are only four games left in the World Cup qualifiers, and Brazil only has a little time left to rebuild the lineup. No matter how you look at Ancelotti takes office, it means "being appointed in danger".

Casemiro pointed out the crux of the problem: An Shuai came too late.

"He should have taken over after Tit left." This is not a complaint, but a sincere expression of professional players. As one of the top midfielders in world football, he knew too well what the authority and charm of the coach meant to a team.

In today's fast-paced football world, no national team can form a stable system in just a few games, not to mention taking into account multiple pressures such as the alternation of the old and the old, technical and tactical running-in, and psychological mobilization.

The fans are more concerned about: Can Casemiro really come back?

The answer cannot be simply concluded. But it is certain that Ancelotti's arrival makes this possible. It’s not that he prefers veterans more than Dorival, but that he knows how to set up a good game with the most familiar pieces before the competition.

And isn't Casemiro the most familiar piece?

He is not the defensive monster that covered the entire midfield and blocked the opponent's lifeline, but he is still an experienced commander and a veteran who can stand up at critical moments. His return may no longer be the "main guarantee", but it will definitely become the "defensive needle in the locker room". The national team needs to change, and the wisdom of the veteran is not inconsistent with the vitality of the newcomer.

Some people question whether he can still adapt to the rhythm of the national team, while others worry that he will slow down the overall speed. But these voices actually ignore one thing: the World Cup is not only about speed, but also about experience and on-the-spot adjustments.

What Casemiro learned at Real Madrid is not only interception and running, but also a calmness and a champion temperament. In many high-pressure games, his on-the-spot judgment can often influence the situation.

Return is not just Casemiro's wish, it also represents an attitude: in this era of rapid elimination and frequent changes, persistence and trust are still hard currency on the football field.

And Ancelotti is the magician who can transform these "non-data-based values" into victory.

For Brazil, this change may have come a little late, but not too late. There are also qualifiers, warm-up matches, and the last window before the opening of the World Cup.

The time is not long, but it is enough for Ancelotti to reshape a samba legion with a soul. Casemiro's "hint" this time is just the beginning of the story, and the real suspense has just begun.

If Casemiro is eventually recalled, he will not return to the team, but to the position.
