The Brazil is no longer Neymar-addict. If in the last (disappointing) World Cup the green and gold national team, as well as an entire country, had clung to the backs of the talent of the Psgputting pressure on him that he hasn’t always been able to handle, now the Select can boast a young (nobody over 25 years old) and talented offensive park that make up the team Tite the obligatory favorite of the world championship. The brilliant debut against the Serbia with the brace of Richardson it is clear proof of this.

Richarlison, unforgettable debut at the World Cup

At the first absolute presence in a World Cup, Richarlison de Andrade a better debut could not have been imagined. Of him the brace with which Brazil beat Serbia, with the second goal in a scissors that will remain one of the most beautiful of the whole competition. And to think that the 25-year-old striker from Tottenhamstrongly desired in the summer by the former Juventus manager Paratici who paid out 60 million plus 12 in bonuses to buy him fromEvertonexperienced a muted first half of the season with zero goals in the Premier League, overshadowed by the relentless Harry Kane. In the national team, however, it’s a whole different story: Richarlison, after having ousted Gabriel Jesus from the role of starting centre-forward, he wants to bring the Seleçao back to the top of the world with goals after 20 years. It would be a great personal redemption for a boy who, as he himself declared, lived a difficult childhood risking his life in a violent and dangerous environment of the South American country.

Vinicius and Rodrygo, the stars of Real Madrid

Another staple of the green-gold national team is Vinicius Junior. Arrived as soon as of age at real Madrid from the Flamengo for 45 million, more than someone in Spain had turned up their noses at the meager haul of goals (just six total in the 19-20 and 20-21 seasons). Last year, however, the explosion came with 17 goals in La Liga and 4 in the Champions League, including the decisive one in the final won by the Blancos against Liverpool. The World Cup can now be the definitive consecration for the 22-year-old Brazilian elf. At the orders of Tite (and of Ancelotti in the “White House”) there is also Rodrygoone year younger than Vinicius, who also arrived very young in the Spanish capital for the same amount (45 million) from Santos. While not one of the permanent holders of Brazil and Real Madrid, it is still a valuable weapon available to the game in progress. The Spanish managers have no doubts about his qualities, so much so that last June they renewed his contract setting the release clause at one billion euros.

Paquetà, the regret of Milan

It was January 2019 when the Milan formalized the arrival in Italy of Lucas Paqueta from the Flamengo for 35 million euros. “He is the new Kaka”, many said. Yet in the 18 months he spent in Italy before moving to the Lyon, there were many more shadows than lights. He probably arrived at the wrong time in the Rossoneri club, in full technical and corporate crisis before the recent relaunch that took place with the Pioli cycle. In France, on the other hand, a whole high story: a two-year period at a great level with goals and assists, so much so that in the last summer transfer market the West Ham has decided to shell out the beauty of 60 million (record figure for the Hammers) for what in Serie A will be remembered as a meteor. In the national team Paquetà plays slightly behind the goal, but forming with Casemiro a dam a half to the extraordinary field.

Senators Thiago Silva and Dani Alves

Many young offensive talents, but another strong point of Brazil is the defense. After all, numbers never lie. In 17 qualifying matches for the World Cup, the green and gold national team has conceded just 5 goals. In front of the former Romanist Alissonthe bulwark is leading the department Thiago Siva, 38 years old and in the fourth world championship in his career. He is 39 years old Dani Alves, the “oldest” Brazilian player to be called up to a World Cup. However, Tite did not want to give up on the footballer who, with 44 titles on the bulletin board (Messi is chasing him at 41), is the most successful in the history of football. However, the World Cup is not among these, for “El Tarántula” it is the last chance.

Brazil, not just stars

The excellent performance with the Barcelonawho bought it in the summer since Leedsthey were worth a Raphinha a starting spot in the offensive right lane. But coach Tite just needs to turn towards the bench to be spoiled for choice in attack with Pedroan unforgetable past in Fiorentina but a great protagonist with Flamengo, Anthonyin the summer paid 100 million by Manchester United, and then the couple from Arsenal, Martinelli And Gabriel Jesus. Finally, it should be remembered that in defense there is the representation of Juventus formed by Daniel, Bremer And Alex Sandro. In short, besides Neymar there is much more.
