Topic: Favourite Team in World Cup 22 

The World Cup and Brazil are two names that are forever linked. Every four years when the World Cup comes around, the name inevitably comes up in the question of favourites. Brazil! Why? Even if you don't answer this question. Whatever the team, Brazil are perennial favorites for the World Cup.

Only football lovers know, in the case of Brazil, at least in the World Cup, these calculations do not work. It's almost as if the World Cup means Brazil is the favorite. Therefore, the question of Brazil being the favorite in the World Cup does not need to be explained separately. However, five important aspects can be identified.

Let's take a look at five reasons why Brazil can win the World Cup.

1. Experience and tradition

The total number of teams that have participated in the main stage till the last World Cup is 79. But only eight teams have won the World Cup—Brazil, Germany, Italy, Uruguay, Argentina, France, England and Spain. Among these champions, only Brazil has played in the main stages of every World Cup. In other words, no team could leave behind Brazil in the experience of playing in the World Cup. How valuable this experience is can be understood by the fact that the team has won the most number of times. Brazil is the most successful in the World Cup with 73 wins in 109 matches. It goes without saying that teams with such experience will be ahead in the race for the title. Now the question is, will Brazil be successful with this tradition and experience?

If winning is a habit, then it must be said that there are quite a few such 'winners' in Titar's team. Casemiro, Vinicius, Rodrigo will step into the Qatar World Cup with the confidence of winning the league and the Champions League for Real Madrid. Alisson, reliable in goal, has also had a good season in the English Premier League. Neymar won the league for PSG, Gabriel Jesus for Manchester City. Apart from them, Coutinho, Paquet, Rafinha, Antonio are experienced enough in the European league. Coutinho-Neymar shouldn't have trouble facing European teams. When it comes to the World Cup, it's Europe vs. Latin America—this Brazil team won't be far behind.

2. Coordination and form in attack

Sambanach no longer has that rhythm in the Brazilian game - an old complaint. Now no one goes to refute it, even coach Tite himself is not willing to give his all to be a worshiper of beautiful football. The result is the last thing for him. Neymar-Vinicius have played accordingly and have gone 13 matches unbeaten, but one thing has been showing for months. It's good to say, since last year's Copa America, Brazil's game has shown a good understanding, especially between the attacking players.

If Neymar plays a little behind, Lucas Paketa's understanding with him, trying to break the defense with a one-to-one pass, fans can find hope. Also worth watching is the rest of the off-the-ball movement during Vinicius' runs from the left flank—meaning the opposition defense automatically creates space due to great movement.

The understanding between Neymar and Paketa is very good. The understanding between Neymar and Paketa is very good

In Brazil's last World Cup win (2002), the two wingbacks Cafu and Roberto Carlos (a left-back who always overlapped and went up) were outstanding. Denilson came on as a substitute after the break and kept the opposition busy. Although there is not much fullback in the team this time, Brazil will be ahead in attack from both ends because of wingers like Vinicius, Rafinha and Rodrigo. And Neymar-Paketa is there to spread terror.

3. Casemiro

As the saying goes, one player can never win the World Cup. That's right. Wrong again. Brazil coach Tite can argue why it is wrong. Do you remember the match between Brazil and Belgium in the last World Cup quarter-final? Brazil's defensive midfielder Casemiro could not play the match due to yellow card ban. In that opportunity, Kevin De Bruyne-Aden Hazard broke the middle of Brazil. And in the 31st minute, De Bruina surely remember that goal? Romelu Lukaku ran almost unhindered into Brazil's danger zone with the ball through midfield. From there, Brazil was eliminated by conceding goals.

Many feel that if Casemiro was in that match, the result could have been different. Because Casemiro's job is to thwart the opponent's attack before it becomes dangerous. Coaches give special importance to the defensive midfield position in current football. In the 2021 Champions League final, Pep Guardiola missed out on the title without bringing down anyone who is an expert in this position. Casemiro is currently the best in this position. Defensive midfielders are going to be very important in the World Cup this time, and every team dreams of getting a 'tank' like Casemiro. Brazil is ahead because it has it.

4. Neymar

The PSG star is now 30 years old. In October last year, he hinted that Qatar may retire from the national team after the World Cup. That is, it can be assumed that this is Neymar's last World Cup for Brazil. In this situation, a similarity can be found with the Brazilian team of the 1970 World Cup. That was Pele's last World Cup. Alongside him were stars like Tostao, Georginio, Garson, Rivellino, Claudevaldo and Carlos Alberto. Just as Pele was Brazil's key player in that World Cup, so is Neymar this time.

Next to him, Lucas Paqueta, Vinicius, Rafinha, Casemiro are also established. Neymar will naturally be desperate to win the World Cup with them. Because, like the 1970 World Cup, this year's Brazil will not be behind in strength, and like Pele's last World Cup game in 30, Neymar wants to stop at 30. There will be a different motivation.

Besides this, one more thing can be added; Last year in October, Neymar said that his main goal is to win the World Cup for Brazil. The long list of World Cup-winning legends for Brazil, Neymar will be looking to add to before he retires. He does not lack the necessary personal skills for that. Brazil fans are just waiting for Neymar to be fit and in good spirits at the World Cup. Time will tell the rest.

5. Brazil doesn't just rely on Neymar.

Yes, Neymar is Brazil's main star in Qatar World Cup. Is it possible to guarantee the victory of the World Cup by relying only on the main star? Since football is a team sport, most of the time it is played as a team. Brazil felt the result of relying only on Neymar in the 2014 and 2018 World Cups. The PSG star could not play fully fit in the last World Cup due to injury. The thing is, if something like this happens this time? If Brazil does not get Neymar in an important match! Then you have to find a way down.

Tite has been working on the attack for months with this very thing in mind. Diversified the attacking third. Sometimes Jesus, sometimes Neymar can be seen there. Neymar played in the false nine. With Rafinha-Antonio expanding the space down the right wing, he finally gave Vinicius license to break into the box. And this Brazilian coach has made Paketa a 'three in one' midfielder. Pakeha has developed a habit of creating attacks, blocking and playing pass-to-pass, as well as striking shots from outside the box.

Brazil no longer relies solely on Neymar in attack Brazil no longer relies solely on Neymar in attack

That is, the responsibility of scoring and scoring is no longer solely on Neymar's shoulders; Goal addiction is in almost everyone in the attack. In addition to filling space, for example, if Neymar moves from the front of the box to the right or left, the goalkeeper or someone else can be seen in front of the box. That is, when the pass comes, kick the goal. As before, the days when the ball was passed to the striker standing in the box and the task of scoring the goal was left on his shoulders, the days have changed in Brazil football.

In addition to this, Brazil, the world's number one team and the five-time champion team, will be favorites in this World Cup in Qatar.
