CBF PRESIDENT GIVES A 'RESET' TO THE BRAZILIAN SELECTION, THINKING ABOUT THE 2026 WORLD AND SAYS THAT MISTAKES IN 2023 WERE...

A Brazilian teammeets from next Monday, in London, in the hope of writing a new story. After a 2023 with results that are among the worst of all time, with five defeats in nine games and just 37% success, Dorival Júnior takes responsibility for the cycle for 2026, and Ednaldo Rodrigues changes a course that proved to be wrong.

The president of the CBF, in turn, does not see the past year as wasted time. Even though the team is only in sixth place in the qualifiers and has established negative marks such as a record of three consecutive defeats, the first to Colombia in competition and the first as home team, the manager made the following analysis:

"I don't understand it as wasted time, because we also learned lessons from what didn't work. We have to believe and move forward with the changes"

- We have a cycle of more than two years until World Cup. That's enough time to reverse this entire situation. In the National Team itself, we saw cycles that lasted longer and without the results we expected. Let's turn the page and believe that from now on we will have positive results to bring the hexa.

Responsible for leaving the position of national team director vacant for the entire year and opting for interim Ramon Menezes and Fernando Diniz, Ednaldo shared the weight of the failures and said that the entity provided every support for the work to be carried out.

"Really, the results are not good, and the CBF always tried to do and meet everything that was requested by those who manage the teams"

Ednaldo Rodrigues' Brazil restarts its cycle for the 2026 World Cup on the 23rd, against England, at Wembley, at 4pm (Brasília time), and takes on Spain, 26th, at the Santiago Bernabeu, in Madrid.
