Despite their 3-1 victory over Venezuela in the World Cup qualifiers, the Seleçao still do not convince.

She even looked very pale during the 1st half.

Brazilian observers are categorical: things must be changed to hope for a good World Cup in Qatar in 2022. The return of Neymar, suspended against Venezuela, for the next meeting should also give some air to Tite's team .

At the Argentinian neighbor, an auction sale on Lionel Messi is causing a lot of talk… Back on the South American week with our specialist Isabela Pagliari.

We will first talk about the news of Brazil and the Seleçao which was imposed with difficulty Thursday night against Venezuela (3-1).

"It was a terrible game for the Brazilian team. They didn't manage to do much for the first 45 minutes, but they managed to get a positive result. Marquinhos scored, Anthony and Gabriel Barbosa too. The big plus point is Raphinha, the Leeds player, he changed everything when he came home after the break and everyone is counting on him a lot.

We must not forget either that Neymar was suspended… What is interesting is that at the moment Brazilian commentators say that in case of meeting with France, Brazil would lose.

Today Brazil does not have a reliable organization or team.

Everyone says Brazil will suffer during the next World Cup. "

Does that mean that in terms of intensity and game plan, this Brazil-Venezuela was much less interesting than France-Belgium on Thursday night?

"Journalists use the Belgium-France match to show that the level of their match is catastrophic. It's a bit funny at the moment in Brazil. People say: 'There you go, that's a football match, Belgium- France !'.

Brazil has no great opponents.

And the calendar does not allow them to rub shoulders with Europeans.

To win the World Cup, we will have to change the ideas of the game. Tite continues to try a lot of players.

Time flies.

In November there will be another rally and he will call up other players. "

Neymar was suspended because of several yellow cards.

But for the next meeting, he will be there.

Tell us how it is received in Brazil where Neymar is adored, while he is not in great shape and we saw it in particular in the last match of Paris Saint-Germain.

"It was one of his worst games with PSG and he himself takes it. Right now his physical form is good. But in the game he is less precise and that has to change.

In Brazil, people say they can't watch a game without Neymar because even if his last match in Paris was not good, everyone sees the difference in selection when Neymar is there or not.

In creation, in what he can do on the pitch… They can't wait to see Neymar play again with Brazil. "

They are therefore more patient with Neymar than the supporters of PSG.

He must doubt but it is perhaps a way to relax because he loves this jersey of the Seleçao?

"Yes. His dream is the 2022 World Cup. After the last two editions in Brazil and Russia, he suffered a lot from eliminations (in the semi-finals in 2014 and in the quarter-finals in 2018) which were in two different contexts. But he works for Qatar, it's his biggest dream. "

Moreover Isabela, if you manage to find a football license when Neymar was younger, I advise you to keep it and sell it.

This is what happened for one of the first licenses of Lionel Messi, when he was a child.

An online auction site in Argentina offered it and after a few hours the prices soared.

What happened ?

"He was eight years old. It was in the 1994-1995 season. It was a license when he was with Newell's Old Boys in Rosario (his hometown). Barcelona was very, very far back then. auction went up to 20,000 euros! That's something pretty crazy. "

And Messi does not have the right to say something about this license supposed to belong to him?

"I don't think he's going to do that. The license is authenticated. But Messi isn't going to ask to stop to claim the money, that's not his thing. We'll see how it goes, because the auctions are still open. "
