Listened to a podcast explaining how Tite has made Brazilian football, and the national team more 'European'. Apparently Brazil have moved away from a system that is fundamentally 'Futsal' based to a European model - Pep's positional Juego de Posición. In between national games Tite spends spends time at other clubs shadowing managers, and trying to learn how their team plays and how they use certain Brazilian players they are coaching.

 

Fred offers a safe option for Brazil. Fred will do the donkey work and running around, and not lose possession too much. Tite knows that if Bruno plays, there will be more creativity (assists show this), but Casemiro will be isolated in transition too often, meaning he can't allow Alex Sandro to bomb on.

There have been journalists writing articles about Brazilian coaches not employing traditional Brazilian football tactics and employing a more European type  since 1974 :lol: 

 

A lot of the current players including that fuckin wanker Neymar endorsed Bolsonaro. The coach Tite is a known leftist. If this lot fail it’ll be partly down to that particular schism :cuppa: 

 

Oh and I know it’s late on a Friday night @Dr Gloom but Kevin de Bruyne is Belgian :D

2nd best midfielder is sat on the bench.

 

The best midfielder in the PL called out his entire team for being too old, despite being 30 himself, and just generally walking around the pitch passing it sideways. Amazing how players ability/careers drop off a cliff the second they are away from Pep Guardiola.

When was the last time they didn’t play a ‘European style’? 1982?

Yeah, and that was a break from all the complaints in 74 & 78  :lol:

 

Every time Hugh Mcilvaney wrote about Brazil at a World Cup he mentioned it. 82 was the last flowering of it what you could describe as the traditional Brazilian way but you also have to remember that Mario Zagallo coached the 1970 WC winners, held up as the all time peak of footballing beauty (heavily influenced by it being the first World Cup widely screened in colour on TV) but he also coached the brilliantly effective winners in 1998…

I just posed the question because commentators and pundits on the whole expect Brazil to play like 70 (or 82) seemingly. Whereas it’s not  the way they normally play at World Cups

That’s spot on like. It’s bollocks to suggest that there’s been some sort of unbroken thread from the sides who won  3 out of 5 58-70

For all the 2002 Brazil team won the World Cup with Ronaldo, Rivaldo and Ronaldinho, they still had absolute shite like Kléberson and Roque Junior starting for them. 
 

Take Neymar out of their current team and Raphina, Richarlison, Antony, Jesus and Martinelli are a big drop off in quality up front, and a far cry from their golden eras

Cafu and Roberto Carlos were absolutely outstanding in the wing back

roles in that 2002 side. Brazil would have been nowhere near as effective otherwise
