The classic yellow tops and blue shorts of the Selecao
transforms into a spectacle these days whenever they take on the pitch. The
tumultuous period of Carlos Dunga made us forget, Brazil exist in world football.
But Tite is bringing back Brazil into its old style – rhythmically attacking.
At Arena das Dunas, Natal, Rio Grande do Nort, the Selecao
faced Bolivia for the World Cup Qualifiers. Under Dunga, Brazil’s WCQ campaign
was in jeopardy, but as soon Dunga’s presence ebbed away from the scene, Brazil
regrouped and at the moment they are a different unit altogether.
Under Dunga, even the weaker oppositions used to test
Brazil, but under Tite , Brazil are just a nightmare for them.
A gorgeous touch from Neymar in the seventh minute to
Gabriel Jesus who poked a chipped effort wide of the near post, set the tempo
and hinted what was about to come. Neymar struck in the eleventh minute and the
flood gates opened. Four more goals were scored as Brazil simply mauled Bolivia
at Natal to fetch important points to establish their authority in the points
table.
My moment of the match is Countinho’s goal. Giuliano dished
out a bit of skill in the playing area and flummoxed Zenteno and provided the
perfect pass to Countinho who scripted a brilliant finish. And the man of the
night was Neymar . Whenever he wears the yellow shirt, he is a different player.
The guy is not just someone who’ll sit on the left side or stay in the centre
and wait for his time, but these days, he motors the midfield, flanks and centre
forward position like Pele and Ronaldinho.
The Friday morning has started well as Brazil have delivered
a fantastic performance.
Thank You
