Brazil's 3-0 win over Haiti provided some answers for Carlo Ancelotti, but not all. They found a clearer centre-forward role with Matheus Cunha, a left-sided structure that supports Vinicius Junior, and a more useful role for Lucas Paquetá. However, the right side remains a concern, and the midfield's ability to control elite opposition is still unproven.
The win gave Brazil relief and momentum after the Morocco draw, but the performance was encouraging rather than emphatic. Brazil dropped the tempo after going 3-0 up, and the left-side combinations slowed, leaving the team vulnerable to counter-attacks.
Ancelotti has clearer clues now, but Brazil are still a work in progress. Haiti gave them space, time, and opportunity, but Scotland and the knockouts will ask different and harsher questions.
