He’s one of the most popular figures in Brazil right now, he definitely inspires confidence. My biggest question is how will Brazil respond when they are down, they’ve only been down a goal maybe once or twice since he’s been in charge. He’s got a Klopp/Simeone vibe on the touch line.
The article does bring up a very good point about Neymar, Brazil aren’t nearly as Neymar dependent but it’s an entirely different team when he’s on the field. Even if he’s not playing well his prescence forces the defense to bring multiple defenders to him. He needs to be much more disciplined and avoid getting carded and let others talk to the ref. Brazil cannot afford to lose him for the knockout rounds.
