Nowadays, one thing is almost heard that football is going to be taken over by Europe. Every European country has been the champion from 2006 to the 2018 World Cup. However, in the 2014 World Cup, Argentina was able to reach the final stage. However, everyone expects a Latin country to be the Qatar World Cup champion.
Apart from the European countries in Qatar, Brazil and Argentina are considered to be one of the favorite countries to win the World Cup. Apart from Messi, Lautaro, and Di Maria, Argentina does not have many star footballers. But as a team, they are performing great. In contrast, the Brazil team is full of star faces. Alisson and Ederson in goal. Apart from Casemiro and Fabinho in the midfield, there are players like Neymar, Vinicius Jr., Jesus, Anthony, Rafinha, and Martinelli.
In defense are Thiago Silva, Eder Militao, Bremer and Marcos. No surprises here. All these four should be called up to the team. Tite can now play Militao in the right-back position if the opponent understands. In today’s football, a center back is often tried to play as a makeshift fullback on the right side of the field due to his passing, aerial duels, and speed.
On the left, Alex Sandro Ahamri is not a fullback but has good pace. You can immediately enter the opponent’s d-box. Cross is not bad at all. But another fullback, Alex Telles, has been looking for himself for a long time. After an unsuccessful spell at Manchester United, he moved to Sevilla and found his place on the bench. So the lack of suitable partners with Sandro remained here.
There is no one better to play at left-back in the Brazil team. However, Teeter’s football strategy is not exactly fullback oriented. His main weapons are midfield and forward. Brazil has always played their football by attacking the opponent’s defense. This time, the attack made with Neymar-Rafinha-Vinicius-Jesus will not be an exception.
And Casemiro-Fred-Paketa-Bruno knows the task of keeping the midfield very well. That’s why the Selecao may not have too much pressure on the fullback position. If Sandro and Danilo do not make any special mistakes, it is impossible to stop this Brazil from scoring.
