“Brazil No More Dependent On Neymar”: Cafu Ahead Of 2022 Qatar World Cup | Football News

[ad_1] Legendary footballer Cafu believes Brazil are no longer a one-player side, relying heavily on Neymar, and have it in them to win a record sixth World Cup title in Qatar. The record five-time winners are yet to lift the World Cup trophy since they defeated Germany 2-0 in the 2002 final. Since then it has been European dominance in the mega showpiece. "Now Brazil isn't dependent on Neymar especially this year because there are several players like Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo, Richarlison and Lucas Paqueta," the two-time World Cup winner told reporters on the sidelines of his four-day sojourn in India."Those players are also capable of winning the Cup for Brazil and this year the side is much different but four years ago, it was all Neymar.

Brazil Head To Qatar As Favourites To Win A World Cup Like No Other | Football News

[ad_1] The first World Cup ever to be held in the Middle East will be unlike any that has come before, but there may still be a familiar name on the trophy with Brazil heading to Qatar as the favourites to succeed France and end two decades of European dominance. For the last decade, most mentions of Qatar and the World Cup have focused on the controversial decision to give the tiny Gulf state the tournament as well as criticism of its human rights record. There has therefore been little attention paid to what might happen on the pitch between the opening game on November 20 and the final, at the 80,000-capacity Lusail Iconic Stadium on December 18.Indeed, there has been little time to even think about the football.The club season in Europe -- where the richest teams hoard the world's be...
