Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti says his team is not creating a special “anti-Haaland” plan ahead of their FIFA World Cup Round of 16 match against Norway. Multiple reports state that Ancelotti believes Brazil’s defenders already know how to deal with Erling Haaland, citing that they have faced him before. He also presents the view that Brazil should focus on their own tactics rather than fixating on a single opponent. Premium Times and other outlets report that Ancelotti expresses confidence in his backline as Brazil aim to progress to the quarter-finals. Times of India adds that while Ancelotti downplays any need for a lesson, midfielder Bruno Guimarães acknowledges Haaland’s threat and calls for careful marking. Separate coverage notes Haaland’s recent scoring form, including reports that he has scored five goals in three World Cup games, but Ancelotti’s stance remains unchanged: Brazil’s approach relies on established defensive capability rather than a bespoke strategy targeting Haaland.
