Recently, the Brazilian Football Association announced the 26-man squad for the Brazilian national team to participate in the Qatar World Cup. The Brazilian national team, known as "five-star Brazil", has always been the favorite to win the World Cup, and their national team list was announced, which naturally aroused widespread heated discussions in the outside world.
However, after the announcement of the national team squad of Brazilian coach Tite, it immediately caused a lot of criticism and controversy from the outside world. Although the squad has been released for several days, the criticism of the Brazilian national team's roster has not diminished. To sum up, the outside world has the following 4 main criticisms of Tite's Brazilian national team list.
The first is the selection of veteran Alves. Alves, born in May 1983, is 39 years old this year, and he has stopped playing in Europe's top five leagues and has moved to the little-known rookie team Cougar. Obviously, compared to his youth, the veteran Alves has long passed his prime, and at best he is a passing star, both in ability and physicality, there has been a significant decline. Brazil have a lot of talent at full-back, and it is puzzling that Tite has so many young stars and recruits the elderly Alves.
Secondly, Why was Risalisson selected? Although Rishalison is not famous, his form at Tottenham this season is really not flattering. The data shows that in the first 15 rounds of the Premier League, he has not received anything except for 2 assists. Rishalison, who is in such bad form, can also be selected, which is indeed difficult to convince.
Third, why was Martinelli also selected? It is true that Martinelli has been doing well at Arsenal this season, but with his ability and explosiveness, he is not enough to be selected for the talented Brazilian striker. No wonder a Brazilian journalist learned that Martinelli had been selected and directly bombarded manager Tite for being extremely faint. Although the rhetoric is somewhat inappropriate, it is not necessarily unreasonable.
Finally, why exclude Firmino from the Brazilian national team squad? This time, Teethe called in nine strikers, but the only center who could really do the job was Jesus. Most of the nine selected Brazilian strikers are wingers. Once Jesus is in a situation, the Brazilian team will not even find a replacement. Tite does not use ace centre-forward Firmino, who has shone at Liverpool and has a second spring of his career, and indiscriminately recruits some flashy wingers, it is simply speechless. You know, once you can't open the situation, Firmino has the ability to break the game. It is deplorable that such a good will be disregarded. Undoubtedly, this is also the most criticized and questioned point of all Brazilian fans about the selection of Tite for the national team. Fans sighed: not to choose Firmino, Tite is really confused, it is simply self-destructive martial arts.
