According to the commentator, the design remains “player independent”, with Martinelli able to defend the sector and help control the Norwegian right-back’s lifts. The idea, he says, is to keep Vini in the best-case scenario of Brazil taking over.
Millie Lacombe also predicted an impact on offensive dynamics. In her opinion, Martinelli does not replace Paquet’s ability to organize from within, but it could be important to move closer to Vini and provide depth on the left flank.
I think with Martinelli Brazil loses a little of their ability to build the game. Martinelli will play a very important role in joining Vini, who will play on the left side of the pitch for this game.

PVC said the striker’s confirmation surprised him from the start and confirmed he was expecting a “tough” game.
Martinelli is confirmed. At first this surprised me. I think Brazil will have a very difficult game.

Casagrande pointed to the same point of uncertainty, but with an unexpected twist: if Brazil dominates and pushes Norway back, Martinelli could prove “irreplaceable.” However, if the game requires resistance, there may be a shortage of people in the lineup.
