Por que Matheus Cunha é o símbolo da evolução do Brasil do 1º pro 2º jogo na Copa?

Brazil beat Haiti in the second round of the 2026 World Cup group stage. So far, no surprises. It was expected. But after the opening match, in which they were beaten by Morocco 1-1, it was important to observe what changes Carlo Ancelotti would make. Although there is a considerable difference in quality between the opponents, in terms of structure, it was possible to notice an improvement. With Matheus Cunha replacing Igor Thiago, the Seleção gained an extra midfielder. In practice, it was almost a diamond formation, which offered more options for ball distribution and helped support the idea of ​​Raphinha and Vinicius Junior as space attackers. With Haiti adopting a higher defensive line, through balls appeared and the offensive production was better. Nothing spectacular, but it may show a path forward, even with several necessary reservations.
