Zhou Yi did not have any problems like Shurce. He slept very heavily and smelled very much.

He led the Chinese team to challenge Brazil over and over again in the virtual space to see what the current Chinese team can be like with the Brazilian team.

In the repeated games over and over again, he found that as Lippi analyzed, this Brazilian team had many problems, but now the group qualifying first place covers these problems, the Brazilian media and fans tacitly avoid talking, as if talking will disrupt the morale of the army and let the Chinese team find a way to deal with the Brazilian team.

But they didn't expect that even if they didn't say it, Zhou Yi would know it.

Scolari is a very stubborn head coach. He has also achieved brilliant results in his coaching career. His peak was to lead the Brazilian team to the 2002 Japan and South Korea World Cup championship. At that time, the 3R+ double-stop tactics were indeed very awesome.

The coaches who have succeeded in the past are more willing to believe in themselves, have very strong confidence in themselves, and are stubborn.

These problems have all appeared in Scolari.

His several coaching failures are also very important for his personality.

For example, he coached Chelsea and was fired in half a season.

After he re-sponsored the Brazilian national team, his coaching at Palmeiras was very failed. After only 56 days of coaching Palmeiras, he led the giants to the abyss of relegation and was fired by the president of the Palmeiras club.

The Brazilian media was surprised that Scolari was able to re-support the Brazilian team.

However, Brazil's final victory in the Federation Cup covered up many problems and made everyone accept Scolari.

Judging from the first three games of the World Cup, Scolari has insufficient adjustments, rigid thinking and blind confidence.

In Zhou Yi's opinion, the team's ability to enter the knockout stage has to be described as "stumbling".

In the last group match, Brazil defeated Cameroon 4-1, which seemed to restore confidence to the Brazilian players and felt that they were invincible and it would be a piece of cake to win the Chinese team.

But in terms of strength, this Brazilian team is not absolutely stronger than the Chinese team.

This was confirmed by Zhou Yi over and over again in the virtual competition.

Look at the big list of this Brazilian team. Compared with the star-studded Brazilian team in the past, this team is full of civilian flavor.

Especially the front line. Brazilian football has always given people the impression that it has excellent attack power and never lacks superstars on the offensive line. Because the football in this country advocates offense. Children like the current striker since they come into contact with football. They like to score goals. Of course, they are easy to get offensive geniuses. Since the Pele era, Pele, Galincha, Rivellino, and "Belli" Zico, Falcao, and Socrates. Those who are closer to the fans now include Romario, Bebeto, Rivaldo, Dejaminha, Jadel, Elber, Edmundo, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Kaka, and Robinho...

In the past, Brazil only had to worry about attacking too many players and not being able to arrange them, and never worry about finding a suitable striker.

But now this problem really exists in Brazil. In fact, this trend has been around since the South African World Cup four years ago. Fabiano was wearing the No. 9 jersey of Brazil at that time, and at that time he was called the weakest No. 9 striker in Brazil's history.

But now it seems that everyone was too early to say that, because the Brazilian national team No. 9 is weaker than four years ago...

Fred is now wearing the Brazilian team's No. 9 jersey.

If you don’t know much about Brazilian football, would you be confused when you first hear this name - who is this person? Why did you wear the number that Ronaldo once wore?

In fact, Fred is not a newcomer to the Brazilian national team. This is his second time to participate in the World Cup. He has played for the Brazilian national team for a total of 32 times and scored 16 goals. In this Brazilian national team, he is the second only to Neymar's goal number.

But this does not mean that Fred has outstanding strength.

His last time in the World Cup was in the 2006 World Cup in Germany. As Ronaldo's substitute, he played very few times and did not leave anyone any impression.

Fred was still playing football in the Ligue 1 at that time.

Now Fred is getting older and returns to Brazil to play for Fluminense. He was selected for the Brazilian national team because he is already the only available person in Brazilian football at the center position.

Diego Costa, who performed well at Atletico Madrid, was the more suitable person for this position, but he was beaten to death and chose to play for the Spanish national team. This incident also caused great dissatisfaction between the two countries' Football Associations at that time.

There is another saying that Scolari's stubbornness and arrogance are one of the culprits when Diego Costa is not playing for the Brazilian national team. For example, Zico holds this view, believing that Scolari does not want to recruit Diego Costa at all, but because Diego Koss made too much statement to fight for Spain, he advanced to recruit Diego Costa before a friendly match, and then gave him a symbolic appearance for twenty minutes.

Because he played in a friendly match, Diego Costa can also join other national teams. In the end, Diego Costa officially announced his joining the Spanish national team before the World Cup. Looking at Diego Costa's outstanding state at Atletico Madrid, I wonder if Scolari regrets it...

Losing Diego Costa, Scolari had no choice but to choose Fred as center.

Fred is a big complaint for this Brazilian national team, but apart from him, the Brazilian team is not very strong in other positions.

Hulk became famous very early, but he has always lacked the experience of training in mainstream European leagues. He can only abuse the Russian league and Japanese leagues, and it is far from the height people expected of him at the time.

If he had transferred to Manchester City with his club transfer fee record, he had a mediocre performance at Manchester City, playing for 42 times for Manchester City and scored only six goals. Now he has returned to Brazil and played for Atletico Minero.

Bernard is young, only 21 years old. He participated in the World Cup for the first time and scored a goal for the national team ten times. He currently plays for the Donesque Miners team, and his reputation is not obvious. He is just a substitute in the Brazilian national team.

On the front line, there is only one world-class star with sufficient reputation. However, Neymar became famous very early and went to Europe last year. He has not grown into what everyone hopes for in Barcelona, ​​and is still Messi's younger brother. The core of the Brazilian national team, the superstar of the superstar, cannot stand alone in the club, which shows the strength of this Brazilian national team.

Let’s take another Brazilian national team coached by Scolari for a brief comparison. Rivaldo in 3R is a core player of Barcelona. He has long won the European Golden Ball Award and World Footballer. Not to mention Ronaldo, the "Aliens" are absolutely the core of the main players in Barcelona and Inter Milan, and they are weak in personal honors. The only younger one is Ronaldinho, but he also serves as the core of the French Ligue 1 giant Paris Saint-Germain, and he was also in the world's grief that year and transferred to Barcelona to serve as the core of Barcelona.

So now people say that the Brazilian team is far inferior to before. Some people think that Neymar is an ordinary player in the Brazilian team back then, and can only be hidden under the light of a group of superstars. The starlight cannot be as brilliant as it is now. Most of his reputation is because of the current lack of Brazilian football talents and the lack of success in the past. Apart from him, there is no talent that can show off.

This may not necessarily be deliberately smearing Neymar. There is an example - later becoming the core in AC Milan, helping AC Milan win the 2007 Champions League championship, winning the World Footballer and the European Golden Ball Awards, Kaka, who was probably not inferior to Neymar in terms of ability or talent. In the Brazilian national team that won the World Cup championship at that time, he was just a marginal figure in the national team who could only show up during garbage time to show his presence...

In terms of midfield, although there are many players who work hard in the European schedule and their names are not unfamiliar, none of them can be called superstars. Many of them are participating in the World Cup for the first time, such as Fernandinho who plays for Manchester City, Paulinho who plays for Tottenham Hotspur, William and Oscars who plays for Chelsea, Gustavo of Wolfsburg, and Elnanes of Inter Milan...

The defense line has always been the weakness of the Brazilian national team - but that is relative to the powerful offensive line at that time. In 2002, the Brazilian national team also had superstar defenders such as Lucio, Cafo, Robert Carlos.

But now this Brazilian national team is reversed from the situation back then. Compared with their weak forward line, the Brazilian team's back line is much more luxurious... The Brazilian defense line with Marcelo, Alves, David Ruiz and Thiago Silva is the most expensive "human Great Wall" in this World Cup.

You should know that the three most valuable defenders in the world are all from Brazil.

Of course, the value does not fully represent ability. This luxury defense team has conceded two goals in three games. The two full-backs, Marcelo and Alves, have exposed the problem of strong offense and weak defense in the game, which is not surprising.

As for goalkeepers, "Saint Cesar", who once helped Inter Milan win the triple crown, is now old and has not even played football for a long time. How important is continuous and high-quality games to goalkeepers, anyone who knows the game knows.

But such a goalkeeper is still the main goalkeeper of the Brazilian national team.

It can be seen how scarce the talent in Brazilian football has reached.

Cesar's performance in this World Cup is not satisfactory, and public opinion has always been under great pressure on him.

With a weight gain, slow reaction, and lack of game-keeping, he is like a bomb on the Brazilian defense line, and he knows when it will explode.

Such a team that is not very strong, coupled with a stubborn and arrogant head coach, this combination is really a "perfect match".

In so many games simulated by Zhou Yi, the Chinese team can almost play an equal score with the Brazilian team - can you imagine this? In the past, the Chinese team played against the Brazilian team, but the game had not started yet, and the Chinese team was automatically dwarfed and felt that they must have lost. The suspense was just a matter of how much they lost.

This was true in the 2002 World Cup group stage. Brazil relied on Ronaldo's genius strike and Rivaldo's "crawl" to narrowly defeat Turkey. At that time, Brazil seemed to have not yet entered the pace of the World Cup.

As a result, they met the Chinese team in the second game. A 4:0 game not only allowed Brazil to qualify in the group in advance, but also helped Brazil find the rhythm of playing in the World Cup. Since then, they have moved forward all the way and finally won the Hercules Golden Cup.

Zhou Yi watched the live broadcast of that game and was deeply impressed.
