Another good thing that just happened in the last few games was that Brazil played very well without Neymar. It doesn’t mean that we don’t need him.”

Why some fans consider Brazil one of the favorites going into the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar?

Brazil have several immensely talented individuals playing in Europe’s top clubs. Neymar, Vinicius Jr., Casemiro and several other top stars will look to bring Brazil their sixth FIFA World Cup this year.

Tite’s Brazil are currently at the top in the latest FIFA rankings. But the road to glory will not be so simple for Neymar and others. In the previous World Cups, Brazil depended too much on Neymar to make the difference in crucial games.

But now, there are several other top talents in the squad who have been in great form recently. Thus, Brazil will not be too much dependent on Neymar. And in recent timed, we have got an example of this.
