brazil is lacking experienced players in cups, players like Vini Jr, Rodrygo, Endrick may even perform well at their respective clubs, but when they arrive to play for the national team, they don't deliver the desired results, sometimes even playing poorly. How to explain this?
The only experienced attacking player in World Cups that we have is basically Neymar (I don't remember anyone else), Neymar plays with desire and determination, but he is knocked down a lot due to his physical size being easy to knock down. Players mark him, especially in cup tournaments, in order to get him off the field at all costs.
One thing is certain, brazil without Neymar in the World Cup is basically extremely difficult to reach the final stages of the World Cup knockout stages.
Brazil does lack good players in some parts of the field, but the team that they have should still be capable of a lot. What they lack right now is a good manager, and that has been the case since Copa America 2021. Their manager back then was Tite, who had no real tactics. He was still kept for World Cup 2022, and after their miserable failure, he lost his job.
Since then, Brazil's Football Federation has been unable to land a proper manager for the team. The Brazilian national coach right now is Dorival Junior, who has no real experience in top flight football. He does not know how to get the best out of players like Vini, Rodrygo, Paqueta. This is what made Brazil look so bad in all of the Copa 2024. If they don't get a better manager, the suffering will keep on happening.
Brazil should look for a better manager in the future, Dorival Junior doesn't seem like the right person for the job, failure in the Copa America is a benchmark to see his ability to manage a team. Expectations for Brazil are still quite high in every competition, they actually have good players in almost every line, it would be a shame if they continued to experience setbacks due to appointing the wrong manager. Chaos in the Brazilian football federation may be one of the causes, the continuation of the World Cup qualifiers in the future is an opportunity to start over better.
The upcoming 2026 World Cup event is the biggest challenge for Brazil, with the right manager they can achieve the targets they want to achieve. The current failures in the 2022 World Cup and Copa America must be turned into valuable experiences, they must find a solution to regain the era of glory. The last time Brazil reached the World Cup final was in the 2002 edition, and they managed to become champions. It cannot be denied that Brazil suffering and setbacks will continue if they retain Dorival Junior.
