Rodrigo Mattos: At Maracanã, Ancelotti is a discreet conductor and only gets irritated by slow VAR

Soon after, he returned to directing the team with his arms. He'd signal a pass here, pull Wesley to the wing, move Estêvão to the middle, request long balls to his defense... Always moving, slowly.

He only gave way to his assistant Francesco Mauri during set pieces. He's the one who coaches the team on those plays.

Regarding the refereeing, Ancelotti limited himself to a pleasant conversation with the assistant and fourth official. He didn't shout at the trio of referees.

When Chilean referee Alexis Herrera red-carded Maripán, the Italian indulged in his most rebellious act: he went to take a closer look at the VAR while the referee was deciding the play. Reprimanded by the fourth official, he returned to his area.

The goal celebrations were restrained, with applause at most, as is his custom. He celebrated when Brazil finally broke through the Chilean defense, which had a six-man defense. Estêvão, a gamble on the right, found the net after a run down the left.

The second half was still lukewarm, and Ancelotti decided it was time for a change. He called his assistant Paul Clement to request substitutions. In a curious moment, the cordless phone radioed instructions that Andrey Santos and Caio Henrique would be coming on. The full-back introduced himself, but in reality, the chosen one was Luiz Henrique.
