When Anthony learned he was able to play in the World Cup in Qatar, the Manchester United youngster cried with joy. Martinelli was named in Tite's squad and the Arsenal youngster revealed he was thrilled: "I cried several times. Liverpool's Carragher was dismissive of this, feeling that Brazil's players liked to put on a show and that they weren't focused on the pitch. Carragher said: The Samba Army has a lot of "tricks", and before Tite showed the squad, the coaching staff of the national team had called to inform the players. In Carragher's view, Anthony and Martinelli are crying with excitement, which shows that the Brazilian team has more "tricks" and wants to show their collective sense of honor. These Samba internationals need to show good form on the field, but unfortunately these "tricksters" like to perform off the field.
Many mainstream media predict that Brazil can reach the final in the World Cup in Qatar, but Carragher is not optimistic about the Samba Army, in addition to their "tricks", Tite did not choose Firmino, and the team will "suffer". Carragher gives a point – Firmino is positioned close to Bebeto, and on a statistical level, such players will not be the protagonists of the Brazilian team, but they are indispensable for the team's success. Many fans have a "cradle celebration" for Bebeto, and even many veteran fans believe that Romario was the number one striker of the Samba Army at that time. Old Ronaldo later admitted in his autobiography that Bebeto's positioning is quite critical to the strategy and connection ability of the second forward, and he is also the merit of Brazil's 94 World Cup title.
In Carragher's view, Firmino's ability to connect and coordinate up front is essential to the Samba Army, a trait and function close to Bebeto. Unfortunately, Tite is not aware of the importance of Firmino, who has not contributed much in the national team in the past two years due to injuries and other factors, and Tite has to scout young players, and the Liverpool striker is getting further and further down in Brazil. This time Roberto Firmino is out of the World Cup squad, which Carragher believes is also predictable. If the Samba Legion's manager is Scolari, Carragher feels that Scolari's tactical ability is not necessarily strong, but he will bring Roberto Firmino, which is the difference between a champion coach and a regular coach.
As the squads of various national teams are announced, it can also be seen that some players are "tricksters", because Carragher made it clear that the manager of the national team called these selected or unsuccessful players long before the squad was announced. Some coaches pay attention to the emotions of their players and comfort marginal internationals who have not been selected. It can be seen that some players show surprise, hug and cry after being selected, after all, Carragher was also a regular visitor to the England team before, and he knows the squad process before the World Cup and the European Championship. Judging from the reaction of the international players, the Samba Legion's "play" is indeed too much, and the author feels that there are also objective factors in this - the Brazilian team's frontcourt competition is very fierce.
Anthony was originally a "expressive personality", as can be seen from his movements in circles in place. And he chose Manchester United this season, which is a very risky move - the Reds have a good reserve of midfield, and there is no shortage of people in Anthony's position, after all, Sancho and Marcus Rashford are still English players. If Anthony were on the bench at his new club, he would certainly not be on Tite's squad. Fortunately, the youngster's move to Tenhach was okay, and he fulfilled his World Cup dream at a young age. Martinelli's inclusion was a bit of a surprise in itself, as he has no international experience and has not played in the warm-up games of the national team before, and the Gunners is understandably excited. In short, Carragher feels that the Samba Army has a lot of "tricks", and the Brazil internationals still need to be down-to-earth.
Carragher made it clear that Tite was a "confused bastard" and that there were plenty of good strikers in the Samba, but the likes of Risalisson and Jesus did not have the talent of Firmino, and Tite brought with him a number of frontcourt players with overlapping style attributes. If Brazil's game goes well, if they encounter adversity, the manager has no room to change his lineup. Why does Carragher think Firmino is close to Bebeto at the '94 World Cup? Because Bebeto's positioning should be Romario's supporting role, they can only get the honor when the Samba Army matches the players reasonably. Now that Tite has brought so many protagonists, there are no "green leaves" in the midfield of the Brazilian team, and no one in the ability of this group of international players can reach the point of Da Luo Xiao Luo. So Carragher stressed that Firmino's positioning is close to Bebeto.
