Thoughts on Dorival Jr and Brazil

squad is shaping up nicely.they should have really won that england match 3 or 4-1 or
4-2. not sure they can win the copa america this year but you never know. but by 2026 they will defuinitely be a force. the passing between the team was very good as well, but the passing was good under Tite too. Finishing needs some work though

I still think they look weak in defense they just tied a match 3-3 with spain

Yeah, but we also need to consider the extreme number of absences due to injuries from most these teams.
An entire week for friendlies is a waste.

It’s an experimental side. No Marquinhos, vitro roque, martinelli or neymar. And the two Spain penalties were bogus. Even a Spanish commie on espn fc said so

Brazil acts like they have so much resources that sometimes they overrate themselves. Most teams would opt for the veteran Thiago Silva to Marshall the defence in the absence of Marquinhos....I would definitely use him as backup in my qualifiers.

In reply to analyst-kid

i think they'll come back for the qualifiers. we need a right back though.....possibly a left back as well because neither danilo or the other guy are mobile....which is a hall mark of south american teams, specifically brazil and argentina

Nope. Brazil finished with Thiago Silva. He is 39 after all. Teams like Germany and Italy wouldnt write him off though as here is a tall big guy who features in a lot of set plays scoring goals with his height and vastly experienced in defence.
