An offensive that scares. Twelve days before the start of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the participating teams began revealing their player lists and one of the first to do so was Brazil. The South American team published a relationship with several surprises.
While the names of Neymar, Casemiro or Thiago Silva stand out, it drew attention that ‘Tite’ would decide to quote him Daniel Alves – the experienced right-back was absent from the last friendlies in September – and the young attacker Gabriel Martinelli.
On the other hand, given the number of forwards, the strategist chose to call 9 football players to form his attacking front; However, Roberto Firmino and Philippe Coutinho – World Champion in Russia 2018 – are not on the payroll.
