8 groups and 8 leaders, European strong teams seem to be strong overall, but only the French team maintains the strength and state of the championship level, "German transfer" analysis believes that France, Argentina, Brazil are the three favorites of this World Cup. Judging by recent forms and results, Argentina are overrated and still prone to falling off the chain in key moments, while France and Brazil have shown greater dominance of the game.
Due to the relatively large injury area of the French team, there is no problem in the first round of the game, and there are some ups and downs in the recent form, with only 1 win, 2 draws and 3 defeats in the UEFA Nations League. Therefore, the most optimistic at present is the Brazilian team, as the first giant team that has won the World Cup for 5 times, Brazil is currently ranked No. 1 in the world, and its recent form is also very hot, playing a wild result, starting from the 4-0 victory over Paraguay in the 16th round of the South American zone of the World Preliminary Tournament, until the 2-0 Serbia in the first round of the World Cup, Brazil has achieved 8 consecutive wins in all competitions, and the momentum is singing, only conceding 2 goals, almost winning every game, 4 games 4-0, 2 games 5-2, 1 game 2-0, 1 game 1-0.
2-0 Serbia, Brazil performed well, the offensive end no longer relied on Neymar, wearing the number 10 shirt to start as a shadow striker Neymar retired midway through injury, tearfully left the game in the 79th minute of the game, but after the game confirmed that it was okay and did not affect the rest of the game. Neymar was violated 10 times in this game, with coach Tite saying he underestimated Neymar's ability to overcome difficulties. Neymar was targeted by the opposing defense, and the young Bear known as the new Pele and the new R9 Richalison shone in the field, and the two were frequently connected.
In the 61st minute of the game, the Cubs completed a powerful shot on the left side of the box, the goalkeeper saved the ball, and Rishalyson easily added an empty shot to give Brazil a 1-0 lead; In the 72nd minute of the game, the Cubs burst with the ball from the left side of the front court, faced the defender directly outside the instep precise cross, Risalison comfortably stopped the ball, volleyed barbs to score, and played the best goal of the World Cup so far, Brazil smoothly took the victory 2-0.
