The World Cup in Qatar was a failure for Brazil, the world number one and favorite to win the championship before the tournament! Unexpectedly, he didn't even have a chance to compete for a medal in the quarterfinals. Coupled with the resignation of coach Tite after the World Cup, Neymar even stated that he would quit the national team, which is a deep bottom for the five-star Brazilian team. The sun is still rising, life will continue, Brazil will temporarily have Menezes as acting manager, and recently announced the first training camp after the World Cup to prepare for the international warm-up match against Morocco.
Judging from the announced training list, there are only 11 people listed compared with the Qatar World Cup, plus a number of post-00 players are shortlisted for the first time, which shows the determination of the Brazilian team to renew. For example, there are two young newcomers Roque and Ronnie in the forward position, and the other four are the Real Madrid duo Vinicius and Rodrigo, who are more familiar to fans, and Risalison and Anthony in the Premier League. This lineup not only makes people wonder if Brazil has a center forward.
Brazil have no shortage of offensive talent, and even current players can list a "starter" lineup, and although Neymar is reimbursed for the season after surgery, there are still Vinicius, Rodrigo, Rafinha, Anthony, and even Jesus. But these players are all wingers, which means that the attack power of the left and right 2 wings is very threatening, but there are no players who can show their hands in the center position, except for Rishalyson, only Firmino is available.
The number 9 shirt represents the center on the field, and the number 9 shirt of the Brazilian team is naturally very meaningful, and once "alien" Ronaldo wore this jersey to the highest height. But now Brazil's No.9 belongs to Rizarison, the Tottenham Hotspur striker who is now questioned and reviled as a "parallel trader". Since the end of the World Cup, Risalison has played nine games for Tottenham Hotspur, giving 0 goals and 0 assists, and the most intolerable thing is that he is not a Brazilian player in terms of individual skills.
Honestly, why did Tottenham bring in Risalison? It is really impossible to give an explanation, even during his time at Everton, Risalisson's performance can only be described as average, not even a star. But even so, he was still targeted by Tottenham, and even more outrageous, he was wearing the number 9 shirt of the Brazilian team, which is now the core of the team's true starting line-up, which is really embarrassing.
With 0 goals and 0 assists in 9 games, this is the absolute playing time that Tottenham have, and such dismal statistics only prove that Rishalyson's quality is really not good. But if Risalison is not allowed to play the starting center of the Brazilian team, it is really difficult for other players to be reliable enough. For example, Jesus, who wore the number 9 shirt, has not scored one goal in two World Cups and his performance in the club is declining. Not to mention Firmino, after all, age has long faded out of the national team, and even at his peak, he cannot bear the weight of the No. 9 shirt.
As Brazil, known as the kingdom of football, can no longer find a real No. 9 jersey successor after Ronaldo, Adriano, who originally had high hopes, gave himself up, Tardelli even in the Chinese Super League can not stand firm, in desperation can only pin hopes on Rishalyson, but to be honest, the No. 9 player is too weak. At the same time, for the Brazilian team, because there is no real No. 9 center player, the offensive strength of the forward is greatly reduced, and it also directly affects the team's results in the World Series, so far has been 5 consecutive World Cup finals, the No. 9 jersey has become the biggest sore spot of the Brazilian team.
