Repetition of mistakes wore down the Brazilian team

As history never repeats itself in the same way, the scenario created by the facts may have many similarities with the one in which the Brazilian team spent 24 years without winning a World Cup.

There were so many occurrences between Tri and Tetra that it is even difficult to conduct a survey of the period. It starts with the political turbulence in the CBF, a succession of bad presidents, with the honorable exception of businessman Giulitte Coutinho, and unsuccessful experiences with coaches who have not been missed.

During this period, there was also a complete transformation in the financial panorama of world football with the definitive arrival of heavy money in the investments of the main clubs on the planet.

Television began to reign supreme with the broadcast of all games, sponsors and investors emerged, national Leagues were created in European championships – Brazil was left behind and continues to this day, with the absurdity of three Leagues negotiating the next championships – and the players started to earn real fortunes.

After winning Penta in 2002, the Brazilian team went into decline.

First, due to the scandals that marked the removal of several CBF presidents, then due to the wrong choices of coaches and, mainly, the lack of true super stars in the current generation that has lost five World Cups.

The repetition of mistakes wore down the Brazilian team to the point where it currently finds itself with a poor campaign in the Qualifiers.

Tite’s maintenance after the failure in the Russian Cup proved disastrous, as he managed to repeat the feat in the Qatar Cup.

As for the current crop, not even the famous and multimillionaire Neymar can respond in kind when called upon to take responsibility in the three World Cups he played wearing the Canarinho shirt.

At the moment we are witnessing the CBF’s incompetence in managing the national team, sometimes betting on Fernando Diniz, sometimes dreaming of the Italian Carlo Ancelotti.

The wear and tear, unnecessary if there was football intelligence at the top of the national entity, has hindered the work of the coach and the players themselves who appear lost on the field.

The team has problems in defense, more serious on the wings than in the middle; creative deficiency in the midfield and offensive ineffectiveness.

And he will play without the promising Vinicius Junior in the next match, against Argentina, at Maracanã.
