In defense, Danilo, Alex Sandro, and Thiago Silva were predictable. However, there was some confusion about whether veteran defender Dani Alves would be on the team at the end. In the end, it seems Tite trusted Alves years of experience. Dani Alves has made history by becoming the oldest player in Brazils World Cup squad. He turned 39 last month.

Manchester United duo Casemiro and Fred will be in charge of midfield. In addition to that, Fabinhos inclusion adds more value to Brazils squad. With these top-notch players, as always, Brazils midfield is good. So there should be no doubt that Brazil will be in control of the game.

In the attacking position, Brazil means Neymar! This happened in the previous two World Cups in 2018 and 2018. In the 2014 World Cup, Brazils game strategy revolved around Neymar. It is the same in the 2018 World Cup. Neymar is the biggest star of the team.

However, this time Brazil is no longer a team dependent on Neymar. The five-time world champions are not dreaming of winning the sixth World Cup depending on Neymar alone. Apart from Neymar, there are stars like Vinicius, Rodrigo, and Richarlison on the team.

Although the final team will consist of 11 players, there will be some key players. And definitely, the whole world will have eyes on them.

Although PSGs start has been in the news for one controversy or another, his record for team Brazil has always been inspiring. He has six career goals in the World Cup tournament. But Neymar may pass Peles international goals (77goals) if he can score three more goals in the world cup. Currently, Neymar has 75 international goals in his basket.

In recent days, Neymar has been in excellent form and scored seven goals in his last nine international outings, while he already crossed double digits for PGS in the 2022-23 season. Winning a World Cup trophy will make him one of the greatest of all time.

The 2021-22 season ended up being the breakthrough that the world had been waiting for from Vini. While he was in his fourth year at Real Madrid, the 22-year-old led the club to a La Liga title with 17 goals and 10 assists besides scoring the winning goal in the Champions League final against Liverpool. However, he only scored one goal in his 16 appearances for Brazil.

So, he will have to improve his goal score for the national team to become one of the best wingers in Brazil. And Qatar is definitely a good chance for him.
