Doha: Brazil is the most likely team to win the Qatar World Cup. The team came to Qatar with the best squad but could not overcome Croatia. The Canaries were eliminated in the quarter when they missed the shootout. Brazil lost the shootout with a score of 4-2. The young player Rodrigo and the strong defensive lineman Marquinhos made a mistake when they took the penalty.
The key turning point in the shootout was Rodrigo’s missed first penalty goal. Brazil fans were critical of why the young player was assigned to take the first kick under pressure when there were others, including Neymar, who had more experience taking penalties. Now Tite, who stepped down from the position of coach, has answered this.
Tite said Neymar was assigned to take the fifth penalty. He added that it was necessary to take the last kick with the ability to withstand the best pressures. Meanwhile, reports are coming out that will bring more tears to Brazil fans before the sadness of the defeat wears off. Neymar, who was very upset after the match against Croatia, shocked the fans by saying that they are not 100 percent sure that they will see him in the Brazil jersey again.
In a situation where both teams were fighting side by side, a brilliant goal scored by Neymar brought Brazil closer to victory. With this goal, the player was able to join Pele who scored the most goals in international matches for the Canaries. But it is clear from the words that the unexpected defeat has shaken the PSG star.
