The 7-0 victory over Honduras was proof of the ferocity of Dudu Patecuci’s team.Not only is the score striking, but Brazil’s style of play is above average for their age.
Against Honduras, Brazil used a 4-2-3-1 formation.This pattern supports an offensive style and high ball control.Even when defending, the high press principle is applied to make the opponent panic.
Of the seven goals against Honduras, three of them came from Honduran mistakes which Brazil successfully exploited.Things like this must be avoided by Indonesia.
High quality is Brazil’s strength.Collective ability resulted in two goals against Honduras through a cooperative process in open play.
Then their individual abilities are also brilliant.There were two goals scored from solo runs and then completed with a long-range kick against Honduras.
In short, Brazil is an almost perfect team in the initial phase of the 2025 U-17 World Cup. This condition is of course understood by the coach of the Indonesian U-17 National Team, Nova Arianto.
Coincidentally, Nova Arianto watched the Brazil U-17 vs Honduras U-17 match live.By watching the match from the stands, the 46-year-old tactician has a broader perspective on the playing style of potential opponents.
It’s just a matter of how Nova formulates the best formula for the match later.Are Indonesia going all out to defend or are they confident in putting pressure on their opponents?

After the match against Zambia, Nova Arianto stated that he would not change the pattern of play drastically.This indicates the principle of implementing the identity of the team being led even though what is being faced is a giant team.
“If the formation remains the same, Brazil is one of the top teams in this tournament. I tell the players not to be afraid before competing. I hope the players will be braver and ready,” said Nova Arianto after the match against Zambia.
The statement made by Nova is not an example of a coach’s egoism to force his will.He actually wants the players to be confident in the plans they have prepared.
The U-17 World Cup, with its title, should be a learning moment for all teams.Players who are all still in the youth category need a competitive stage to form their mindset and quality of play for the future.
Therefore, the pattern of three parallel defenders does not need to be changed significantly.If Nova believes in that method, then do it to the maximum.It’s just a matter of player discipline that needs to be applied as best as possible on the field.
It must be admitted that Indonesia lacked discipline when dealing with Zambia.All of the opponent’s goals were created due to the lack of effective defensive schemes in closing space.
The Indonesian U-17 National Team’s back line seemed to be neglecting to read the opposing players’ movements without the ball.As a result, the Red and White team’s penalty box was easily exploited which led to a goal.
Collective defense is an aspect that Nova Arianto must improve on his players.Because Brazil will not hesitate to punish mistakes like they did against Honduras.
Apart from the back line, the middle sector also needs attention.This cannot be separated from the roles of Evandra Florasta and Nazriel Alvaro who often stagnate in ball distribution.
As a result, Indonesia relies a lot on direct passes into the opponent’s zone to build attacks.This method is not wrong, but it is not effective if you look at it against Zambia.
The goal scored by Indonesia actually started from foot to foot play.The ball was initially driven by Fadly Alberto followed by a neat dribble by Evandra Florasta who then released a cutback pass.
Even though the pass was blocked by the Zambian goalkeeper, the ball landed right at the feet of Zahaby Gholy who completed a golden opportunity to score a goal.A process like this is actually efficient.
But after Zambia was able to score an equalizer to turn the situation around, Indonesia was unable to utilize a similar strategy when scoring a goal.In this case, creativity in attacking variations needs to be applied efficiently.
Against Brazil, of course Mathew Baker and his friends don’t need to feel like they’re carrying the burden.Make this match an important moment in learning.
