And you're absolutely right with Casemiro.

99.5 coaches out of 100 would have taken him off at the interval.

He's having a mare.

He's on a yellow card.

With Brazil exposed, Japan have the counter.

It's not going to work, is it?

Get him off.

But the calm and the serenity, the belief that he shows in his players.

The first thing he did when he came back, when he came in, was bring back Casemiro, who'd been in the international wilderness for 18 months or so.

And one of the byproducts is a dramatic improvement in the performance of Bruno Guimaraes.

Dramatic.

Bruno, who in the qualifiers was dreadful, just lost.

On the team was lost.

But with Casemiro, you've got a clear separation of functions.

You know that Casemiro is going to sit in that space, whether he's going to protect it as well as he did in his heyday is another question.

You know he's going to play the first pass forward with accuracy, and it frees Bruno.

So that's one piece of Carloism, Don Carloism, the change by changing nothing.

The other is, again, that you pointed this out, the hierarchy of substitutes.

Because he's got lots.
