Brazil Dey loose midfield battle Walai

Brazil should have dropped one of Richarlison or Raphinha for an extra midfielder

Cos right now Brazil is literally playing 4-2-4 while Croatia is playing a 4-5-1

There's a bigger chance for Tite to drop his balls infront of camera than for him to drop the aboved mentioned in a world cup quarter final. He's a 4:4:2----4:2:4 manager.

If Brazil are so sure of themselves, let me play that midfield two of Paqueta Casmeiro vs Croatia's midfield three and see if they won't loose that battle.

Just like I predicted.

He led his country to the knockout stage, same can't be said of Rudiger that we don't even know his wing at Real Madrid.

The problem systemically is Neymar.

It is 3 vs 2 in midfield, and the 3 of Croatia can go toe to toe against any 3 man midfield not to talk of a 2 man midfield.

If Brazil wants to take hold of midfield they have to bring in an extra midfielder. The problem is who to take off, either Richarlison (with Neymar playing false 9) or Raphina (with Richarlison moving right).
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by DontBullshitMe: 4:55pm On Dec 09, 2022
Even if Brazil will win, Croatia will make them sweat for it.

As much as I'd want Messi to win the WC to cement his legacy, it will be a very hard task (if not impossible) for a non-European country to win the World Cup.

Not gon' lie. Football lives in Europe (for now). Footballing talent is no longer enough to bail out South American teams in the world stage like before. Now, you need superior tactics, facilities, coaching, motivation etc.

Brozo-Luka-Kova is one of the most technically gifted midfield trios in the world, whether at club or international level.

Tite did not think this one through. Let's see if he will adapt or persist.

I don't think he's that conservative here with the 4:4:2 in defence, 4:2:4 attack.

I mean if you're coming up against Modric, Brozo & Kova, you need to be a bit more cautious. I can't tell him what to do but popular opinion is that he should play Neymar F9, drop Raphinha, play Richarlison or drop Richarlison and continue with Raphinha on the right.

This scenario will allow him to introduce another midfielder and be more compact. Like I said, I can't tell him what to do. He'll find his courage and do his thing!

I always knew they will lose the midfield battle unless he drops one of his attackers. Vicinius and Neymar are untouchable so it leaves Richarlison and Raphinha

Neymar will normally play on the left but that is also Vinicius position. Vinicius was why Neymar moved to the 10 position. Both of them are undroppable

The ideal thing is to remove Vinicius or Neymar and bring an extra midfielder

You are right but as you said they are undroppable. Neymar is the person to be dropped actually. He can’t really play that LWF role like before anymore but if Tite takes him off and they lose he will be banned from ever going back to Brazil.

The existence of Neymar makes that midfield option difficult. If Neymar wasn’t Neymar the move would have been to take him of for someone like Bruno Guimaraes.
