Presented before the start of this 2022 World Cup as one of the big favorites in this competition, Brazil was finally knocked out in the quarter-finals by Croatia on penalties on Friday (1-1, 4 tab to 2). One thing is certain, the Seleçao will have to question itself.
While the 6th star has again escaped the Brazilians during this edition in Qatar, the media are calling for a revolution to break the curse of the Neymar generation. Twenty years after its last success at a World Cup (victory in the final against Germany in 2002), the Auriverde selection imagined going back to the roof of the world in Doha. It was without counting on an incredible Croatian team, as brave as they were talented, who began to dream of a second consecutive World Cup final after this feat.
Brazilian media calls for change
If the departure of Tite is already recorded, the name of his successor will necessarily be an important element of the reconstruction. The Brazilian Federation has surveyed Pep Guardiola in recent months, but the Spanish coach is happy at Manchester City and intends to stay there for a few more years. The Spanish technician has also recently extended his contract with the Citizens. Fernando Diniz (Fluminense), Mano Menezes (Internacional Porto Alegre), Abel Fereira (Palmeiras) and Dorival Junior are among the coaches likely to succeed Tite.
End clap for Neymar?
Several players should pay for this Brazilian elimination in the coming months. Thiago Silva and Dani Alves are likely to end their international careers. Marquinhos or Casemiro could pay for the desire for revolution desired by the Federation. Neymar, he left doubts about the rest of the international career. “My last World Cup? I do not know. It’s not a good idea to talk now, I’m still hot, I don’t have clear ideas. To say it’s over would be hasty. But I don’t guarantee anything either.he had dropped after the elimination against the Croats.
