The Indonesian national team received bad news ahead of the away match against Bahrain after main goalkeeper Maarten Paes suffered an injury, its bad news recently Maarten Paes not including in starting line up for his team when FC Dallas facing San Jose on MLS League match.
This is really bad news for Indonesia. In the previous two matches Maarten Paes was the Man of the Match. He is a very good goalkeeper who made Indonesia's defense very solid. Indonesia managed to get points from 2 strong teams in Asia. The match against Bahrain will not be as difficult as the previous matches but without Maarten Paes I think Indonesia's defense becomes very fragile. I am not underestimating their second goalkeeper but honestly the quality of Maarten Paes is very far compared to Indonesia's second or third goalkeeper at the moment. There is news that Maarten Paes is still included in the Indonesian squad and I hope he can appear against Bahrain to give Indonesia a chance to win the match.
This will be an unforgettable match for the Indonesian national team, two matches that will become history for Indonesia, one of the players who will be Man of the Match should be Maarten Paes. Currently, Indonesia still needs a goalkeeper like Maarten Paes to guard the goal. He has been recognized as a very great goalkeeper for Indonesia in the first team.
With Maarten Paes, Indonesia has the opportunity to win in the next match against a team from another country which has many star football players in Asia. , I also have doubts about the other Indonesian goalkeepers, they are also very great at playing for Indonesia.

FIFA World Cup Asian Qualifier Third round
Bahrain vs Indonesia

The Indonesian national team received bad news ahead of the away match against Bahrain after main goalkeeper Maarten Paes suffered an injury, its bad news recently Maarten Paes not including in starting line up for his team when FC Dallas facing San Jose on MLS League match. The third match of qualifier very important for Indonesia team after being draw in last two matches but Indonesia success unbeaten until two match after success getting two points from top national team Saudi Arabia and Australia.

Bahrain national team have bad capital after last defeated by Japan over 5-0 but have secure first three points when defeating Australia, three points most important for both national teams between Indonesia or  Bahrain team get opportunity reach the higher standings position and secure direct qualifying to FIFA World Cup 2026 by securing the first or second place standings position.
Indonesia has successfully to earn 2 points from 2 matches and i feel satisfied with these results because basically those are hard matches for them because at that time Indonesia playing away at Saudi Arabia home and they as a host playing against Australia and Maarten Paes has important role for those matches because he was performing well and very consistent and Maarten Paes too has successfully to block the penalty kick from Saudi Arabia player which make Indonesia can stole point from Saudi Arabia

It's quite dissapoint to see this news because Indonesia is really need Maarten Paes and indeed they have second goalkeeper Ernando Ari but i have to says he is lack of experience for important match with Indonesia but hopefully if the manager playing him then Ernando Ari will showing his best however Indonesia is really required more points to keep their chances on Group C so against Bahrain Indonesia should be able to collect 3 points

Anyone who plays football in the world knows Brazil as the most important and strongest country because of the many superstar players they had before and because of the high potential they have in Brazil but still having potential won't solve anything and other than this Brazil needs to have a better management system for their team to have better performance while they don't have it.
Even they could have used the former players and coaches they have for management but they didn't and this is a great sign of corruption in Brazil football.

To tell you the truth, when I was a child I only understood the Brazilian team when I played football, and at that time I only heard about the players of this team. Who are very big and world famous star players. The last time we saw perhaps the most impressive performance by Brazilian players was in the 2002 World Cup when they won the FIFA World Cup. Since then till date they have not been able to realize their dream of winning any FIFA event i.e. World Cup. Also the current Brazil team has all the players they have talent but they don't perform well when they play for Brazil.

As a result we are naturally forced to compare current players with past players. Many blame the current Brazil team's downfall on the manager's mismanagement. If this is the main problem of Brazil's decline then it should be removed quickly.

Since Flamengo was sacked because of poor performance of his former team their is no need to bring to coach Brazil national team that is already struggling. Brazil needs a vibrant coach that is performing very well as a coach  not a coach who couldn't make a team to win trophies from where he is coming from. Brazil has a good record when it comes good performance in football,  I think in search of a coach that will manage the  team, it should be a coach that is competent based on psst experience and the present.

If things should be put in order I believe Brazil as a team will bounce back because they already have talented players. I just hope if working on the team is what can be done fast so that by the next world cup game the team is already stable.
Brazil should try a foreigner coach. It wouldn't hurt to give this strategy a try... They have tried with brazilian coaches so many times and failed miserably, that to go for a foreigner one seems a reasonable alternative. Many national teams have already done that and saw their teams' performances raising considerably, turning into very competitive teams as consequence.

Even brazilian clubs have been doing this successfuly. Look Palmeiras with the portuguese Abel and Botafogo with the portuguese Arthur Jorge. Both have been a great reinforcement for their respective teams, as both clubs are leading brazilian championship.

Now the national team also needs a fresh and innovative approach. Otherwise, I fear they won't be able to compete from equal to equal against great teams of our time, like the Argentinian one, for an example.

The only way for Brazil to get out of where it is is with players like Neymar, like Ronaldo, Robinho, Roberto Carlos, Dinho, but what did these players do? It's simple, it's Joga Bonito, with Joga Bonito it was playing without rules as if they were on the street, where players had the freedom to do things with the ball as before, since they started playing technically very strict Brazil lost its only ingredient that made them different from the others, I think that if Brazil recovers its essence it will begin to play, they can even put Zidane as coach, who for me is one of the best in the world, but if he doesn't insist that Brazil play like before, then that's it.
Good point, I hadn't thought about that. I used to think that Brazilian football was overtaken by European tactical football, culminating in the professionalization of football. Brazil needs to remember that it's the Nation that has produced the most stars like Ronaldinho, Romário, Ronaldo Nazário, etc. It needs to get back to its "joga bonito", its way of being.

The corruption of football has also contributed to the decline in the quality of Brazilian football. Before, football was known for being one of the only things that brought joy to the Brazilian nation, when we still won World Cups. I hope to see that day again one day.

Now we have the former coach of the Brazilian national team available on the market, coach Adenor Leonardo Bachi AKA Tite. He was fired from the Flamengo team for not being able to bring the expected results, perhaps the CBF bringing him back to the team will be able to return to playing some respectable football again because as bad and stubborn as Tite is, he is the face of the Brazilian team.
Flamengo had to sack him for poor performance.  The club is currently in fourth place in the Brazilian Championship. They have also been knocked out of the Copa Libertadores after losing in the quarterfinals to Uruguay’s Peñarol.

Adenor Leonardo Bachiis is not a new face on the national team; he worked with the team from 2016 to December 2022. He led them to win the 2019 Copa América, but he left the national team after the disappointing outing in the 2022 FIFA World Cup when they lost on penalties against Croatia. I don't think he would make any impact on the team, considering his recent statistics. The Brazilian national team needs an experienced foreign coach.

It's indeed unfortunate to see a team like Brazil, that used to dominate the field with its glorious play, is now struggling to maintain the standards. A change in management, a competent coach like Abel Ferreira, who has already displayed his prowess by bagging several titles, could indeed bring a directional change for the team. Yet, it's not just about the coach but the collective team performance which makes the real difference. The heart of every player makes the team; missing it clearly shows in their performance. It's high time that they pull themselves together and learn from their mistakes because facing other South American opponents isn't going to be a walk in the park. Their agility and readiness to pounce on any opportunity is really commendable and a learning lesson for the Brazilian side. They need to revamp their strategies and approach swiftly before it's too late.

You made a very interesting point of view and I agree with it. Brazilian football seems to have lost some of its shine. Nowadays, you don't see children playing football in the streets or on amateur pitches anymore. Many children have lost themselves to technology addiction and have left the sport aside. There is also a lot of corruption in the youth teams and schemes with businessmen. In a country where power corrupts, in the long run, everything good is lost. Brazilian football today is the result of all this.

They don't have it as bad as it may seem. The squad is relatively good, but there is just a lack of chemistry between the players, which is evident on the pitch, especially when Vinicius can't score a goal, it's as if the passes don't reach him. In general their coach has thrown in that they can make it to the final, it will be interesting to see it for sure, but they would have to get to 1/8 first....

The daily work done at a club is completely different from that done at a national team. Tite was the coach of the Brazilian national team for many, many years, so he is already accustomed to the routine of a national team. At the club, he did poorly, but he did not leave the team in total chaos. He did a below-average job, of course, but nothing as bad as Dorival Junior's work at the helm of the Brazilian national team. Tite had not been in charge of a club for a long time, and I believe he had a lot of difficulty in getting back into the swing of things... Today, thinking about it, the best person to coach the national team today would be to bring back coach Tite, or else try to find a high-level European coach.

Yes, absolutely right.

There is a huge difference between playing in your club team and playing for your national team.

Basically it's almost like one is done for the money and the other one is for honor in a way.

I know they get paid in both cases, but clubs usually pay more than national teams, and also you can choose your team, but you can't usually choose your nationality.
You are right because club would pay you more than what your national team is going to pay you. Players can change their national team especially when they have dual nationality. When a player is born in a particular country but grow up his career in another country where he became famous, the both countries can be asking for the player to  play for their national team but it all depends on him on what country he would want to play for. This can be a difficult decision to go with but he would have no option than to play for any of the country that he likes. This kind of scenario has happens to many players before now.

It's a shame, in fact for me Brazil represents the world capital of football, whatever they say it is, I only know a small city and I loved it, but football was what was most breathed and that's something I liked, in fact to measure yourself with the Brazilians you need to train a lot, while the Brazilians play as if nothing and it seems like they never get tired, that's something I like, of course I went in 2014 after the World Cup and I saw the Arena stadium in Manaus, but I loved it, in addition to its people, its samba and everything, playing in the arena has been very difficult against them, it's something I suffered a lot, but in order not to be ashamed I had to give it my all, afterwards I couldn't because of tiredness at night, but at that time the aroma of football was very alive there, that's what the players have to recover now.


Anyone who plays football in the world knows Brazil as the most important and strongest country because of the many superstar players they had before and because of the high potential they have in Brazil but still having potential won't solve anything and other than this Brazil needs to have a better management system for their team to have better performance while they don't have it.

Brazil WAS, and Brazil always along his history wich is very rich , has been this cicles of being a not so competitive team, if you see the history of world cups, they are Pele era + 1994 to 2002, after that they still have good teams until 2006 but since that it was pure downfall, even with Neymar who is a super star, but the team never was at his level.

You mean to tell me a manager who did so poorly at his club that he got fired should be the manager for the nation team? How would that make them any better? Obviously the dude wasn't good at all which caused him to lose his job, so if he joined the national team what guarantee he would do any better? Likely result would be that he will do worse.

I agree, during his tenure at Brazil, they did alright and they won and they were happy, but obviously he may not be the same person and the team may not be the same team so maybe this could be a bad idea. I am not against giving him a try out, firing the current manager would be awesome and they should, but the problem is that if they hire Tite, they won't be firing him anytime soon, they will keep him until end of world cup.
As the current manager who is in charge of Brazil is not as experienced as Brazil, Brazil should try to hire a manager with more experience and skill than him by sacking him. If Brazil fail to appoint a good manager, their team performance will continue to deteriorate. There are many football fans who are trolling Brazil when Brazil was once the biggest team in football. If we have to watch a World Cup where Brazil can't participate then I'd say watching the World Cup is a failure. We watch football we love football and we always have a love for the Brazil team and from that love we are saying that Brazil should change their manager soon it will improve their team.

There is no doubt that Brazil is a country that has a lot of potential in football, they have a distinctive football and so on, and it is supported by famous players who were born in this country. But it is very unfortunate when they experience a decline like this which is caused by several things, one of which is mismanagement so that it has a direct impact on the performance of the Brazilian national team.
In fact, if we talk about players, we don't have to look hard for players from this country who already have big names and even star names. So logically they should be able to show something better than what they are showing now. But unfortunately all that did not happen, I hope they will quickly find their identity as a football country full of talent.

True, Ancelotti cancellation from being recruited to become Brazil coach was not because of any problems with the federation or CBF but more likely because of an offer given by Real Madrid to be able to extend the contract because under coach Ancelotti, Real Madrid could show success.
Moreover, Ancelotti would definitely choose Real Madrid over Brazil when both made offers at the same time because with Real Madrid it is clear that he can work well and only needs to continue his performance, unlike when he handled Brazil he had to start from the beginning and it took time to be able to really show development and improvement in playing quality.
What is clear now is that I really can't think and say anything about Brazil regarding the coach problem because the only way is to find European or other coach who clearly has lot of experience, this kind of thing has been talked about lot since several years ago but in reality they still only rely on native coaches from Brazil.
Haha maybe this is about money and it is possible to save costs in bringing in and paying the coach salary.
Ancelotti was interested in taking charge of Brazil and was expected to take charge of the Brazil team after his contract with Real Madrid expired. But Real Madrid did not want to let go of this manager, so they renewed the contract with this manager, due to which Ancelotti could not take charge of Brazil. If Ancelotti had taken charge of the Brazilian team, the situation in Brazil would have really changed and the Brazilian team would have seen the light again. Homegrown managers will not work because Brazil has already vetted every manager and they have not had any good results. There are many well-known managers in Europe and if the CBF doesn't stop trying, some experienced European managers could come to Brazil.
Yes, that what we heard and knew before when there were many rumors about Ancelotti arrival as Brazil new coach and now we all know how the conditions are, which is certain that bad results and decline without consistent performance improvements will really be obtained by Brazil if it is always like this.
I will not make Brazil favorite team in the upcoming 2026 World Cup when they are still the same, meaning there is no change and also any development made to really be tough in participating in this most important competition.

By the way, this month Brazil has 2 match World Cup Qualifiers against Chile and against Peru, curious about Brazil results whether they can win both and get points to improve their ranking or even get bad results and have to be in an uncomfortable zone.

I know they get paid in both cases, but clubs usually pay more than national teams, and also you can choose your team, but you can't usually choose your nationality.

In my opinion, a coach for a national team needs to be someone who has already coached local teams and won many titles with different teams. Preferably, it should be someone from the same country, but when you have scenarios like Brazil, for example, where players play abroad, then it makes more sense to hire a foreign coach who has had success with teams in the major European leagues, because he will know the players well. The difference between the national team and the local team is that, in addition to the money the players receive being different amounts

there is also the time it takes for the players to get used to it. For example, if a national team A is going to play, the national coach has less than 7 days to put all the players in the coach's position. After the game, he will spend many months without a game, without putting all the players together to train, while the coach of the local team spends every day with the players, watching their training sessions and creating strategies.

It's indeed unfortunate to see a team like Brazil, that used to dominate the field with its glorious play, is now struggling to maintain the standards. A change in management, a competent coach like Abel Ferreira, who has already displayed his prowess by bagging several titles, could indeed bring a directional change for the team. Yet, it's not just about the coach but the collective team performance which makes the real difference. The heart of every player makes the team; missing it clearly shows in their performance. It's high time that they pull themselves together and learn from their mistakes because facing other South American opponents isn't going to be a walk in the park. Their agility and readiness to pounce on any opportunity is really commendable and a learning lesson for the Brazilian side. They need to revamp their strategies and approach swiftly before it's too late.

I am not against giving him a try out, firing the current manager would be awesome and they should, but the problem is that if they hire Tite, they won't be firing him anytime soon, they will keep him until end of world cup.

The daily work done at a club is completely different from that done at a national team. Tite was the coach of the Brazilian national team for many, many years, so he is already accustomed to the routine of a national team. At the club, he did poorly, but he did not leave the team in total chaos. He did a below-average job, of course, but nothing as bad as Dorival Junior's work at the helm of the Brazilian national team. Tite had not been in charge of a club for a long time, and I believe he had a lot of difficulty in getting back into the swing of things... Today, thinking about it, the best person to coach the national team today would be to bring back coach Tite, or else try to find a high-level European coach.


You make a fair point about the difference in working routine at a club versus at a national team. It's true that Tite has spent many years coaching the Brazilian national team, which could potentially make him more prepared for the demands of the national team than someone who has only worked at a club level. Your argument about his poor performance at the club not meaning certain failure at a national level is plausible.

But there are also valid concerns raised by the previous poster. Even if we accept that Tite could perform better than he did at his club if given the opportunity to return to the national team, there is no guarantee of this. His recent failure may signal that he is not currently in his optimal form and could translate to a poor performance at the national level too.

You suggested the possibility of hiring a high-level European coach. That's an interesting idea - however, bringing in someone unfamiliar with the culture and style of football in Brazil could also pose its own risks. Likewise, it may not be
