Brazil begins its journey towards the sixth star and the first title since 2002 with a real test today, against Dusan Vlahovic and his comrades in the Serbian national team, in the first round of the Group G competitions of the Qatar World Cup.

And after the wonderful journey it achieved in the South American qualifiers, which it finished at the top with 14 wins and three draws without any defeat, Brazil appears to be one of the most prominent candidates for winning the title, especially in the brilliance of most of its stars, led by Neymar, Vinicius Junior, and Rodrigo.

Coach Tite put his team on the right track and shook off the dust of the historic defeat against Germany 1-7 in the semi-finals of the 2014 World Cup, by leading him to crowning the Copa America in 2019, then going through the South American qualifiers without any defeat, in addition to reaching the final of the Copa America 2021. , where he lost to his Argentine rival, 0-1.

Since falling to Lionel Messi and his companions on July 10, 2021, Tite's men have not tasted defeat in 15 consecutive matches, the last of which were four preparations for the finals, from which they all emerged with a victory over the participating teams in the Qatari World Cup, which are South Korea (5-1), Japan (1-0). ), Ghana (3-0), and finally Tunisia (5-1).

And to show the extent of Brazilian confidence in this World Cup, Barcelona striker Rafinha revealed that the players attended the festive dances, saying: “In fact, we have so far (ceremonial) dances for 10 goals.

We have maybe 10 dances prepared for each match.

One for the first goal, another for the second and one for the third...if we scored more than 10 goals, we will have to be creative.

And in a squad that includes an attacking arsenal of nine players between wings and spearheads, Tottenham striker Richarlison hoped that “goals will come naturally” for him and his colleagues, adding, “When you wear the number 9 shirt with the Brazilian national team, all you want to do is score goals.” ».

And he believed that "with colleagues of this kind, I am sure that the goals will come."

But Brazil's strength is not limited to the attack, as all lines have experience, starting with goalkeeper Alisson Becker, and the two centers of defense, Thiago Silva and Marquinhos, passing through the midfield with Casemiro.

The task will certainly not be easy for Brazil in front of an organized team that includes a group of stars, such as Vlahovic and his colleague in Juventus, Philip Kostic, Ajax's Dutch playmaker Dusan Tadic, and the Italian center of Lazio, Sergey Milinkovic-Savic.
