Ok, maybe not the new Brazil because Brazil are a bit poor at the moment but do you think under Scolari we will see a much more attack minded Chelsea, that even the neutrals will enjoy watching?
Under Mourinho and then Grant, with the number of quality players Chelsea had i always thought their style of play could have been a lot better.
My view of Chelsea's style of play was:
Knock it long to Drogba
Drogba knocks it down
Lampard shoots
But is this now going to change to:
Fullbacks playing like wingbacks
Playing through the midfield
One, two touch passing
?
The Important Question
Will a attack minded Chelsea that plays with skill and flair be stronger or more vulnerable than the Mourinho Chelsea team?

In fairness, Chelsea with wingers (the first 2 seasons under Mourinho) were entertaining to watch when Robben, Duff, and Cole were on form. It was the arrival of Shevchenko and Ballack that cocked the balance up.
I think that Scolari will take time to adjust to the EPL - expect a few shock defeats to bottom-half teams in December and January. |

| | Scolari has never been an attacking coach in Brazil. He's of Rio Grande do Sul State, which has a hard football tradition. |

| New Chelsea manager Luiz Felipe Scolari insists Frank Lampard has told him he wants to remain at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues have rejected an official approach from Inter Milan to discuss the transfer of the England midfielder.
"I was very happy because I asked if he wants to stay and he said 'yes, I will stay at Chelsea'," said Scolari. |

I doubt it, CR would have convinced him to wax his unibrow. |

| Scolari can't get some players to play in that Brazilan way.
Best to just bring in a Brazilian Academy or/and Reserves coach, buy some Brazilian youngsters and then obviously spend money on Brazilian or like Brazilian players.
I can't imagine in the slightest, Scolari trying to get players like Lampard and the rest to play the Brazilian style 
Besides Alex and Beletti who are of course Brazilan, Joe Cole is nearest thing to a Brazilan style player. Maybe Kalou can develop some what as well. But besides that, there is $h!t all. |

Coater isn't good enough to get the best out of his agenda. It's a shame because the poor guy really has it bad. It could have been a lot of fun.  |

Exactly. Scolari just wants to win, he doesn't care if his team play beautiful football or not. Everything is alright as long as his club is winning. |

| | I have never seen Scolari teams play breath taking stuff actually ,to me they play the hybrid some attacking flair decent conservation its neither the gung ho style nor the pragmatic way of play. |
