I think a good player he got right was Casemiro. The midfield needs a leader, a guy who runs after the ball, who scares the opponents. And Casemiro is that guy. And I don't understand why the previous coach didn't pay much attention to him.

I think it’s because of stubbornness, which is typical of Brazilian coaches, they latch onto an idea and stick with it until the end. In Casemiro’s case, I believe he didn’t have much relevance earlier because of that. I don’t have much faith in this current national team. Maybe they’ll go far, but I’m more hopeful about a long-term project, aiming for the 2030 World Cup, for example. This upcoming World Cup already feels pretty much lost due to the CBF’s poor management.

Don't say that hahaha, I'd like to see the Brazilian team in a World Cup final more quickly, as early as 2026  Cheesy
Since the players aren't helping we can focus on statistics, luck, the past...
In 1994 the Brazilian team had a very difficult qualification for the World Cup, which was also in the United States, and we were champions after a lot of emotions and with an extremely difficult game against Italy in the final
We were champions on penalties  Cool

If history repeats itself, we're on the same path hehehe

Regarding Casemiro, the player is currently 33 years old, if he goes to the World Cup he will be 34, and he could probably be Ancelotti's man of confidence
Something like Dunga was in 1994  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy


At least I got to see the Brazilian national team win the World Cup twice live (on TV, of course), in 1994 and 2002. I don’t know about you, but I believe many people here on the forum didn’t witness that.

I was doing the math and some research, if the Brazilian team doesn't win the 2026 World Cup, it will surpass the previous record for the longest title drought, which was 24 years (1970–1994; 2002–2026). That would mean almost three decades without winning the trophy. I think that’s also a big reason why the fans have abandoned the team… there’s no hype, no major achievements, etc. Kids and teenagers today don’t even know what it’s like to see Brazil as world champions.
