The TRUTH about Brazil's stunning DECLINE

Brazil have been on the decline since Tite left the national team in 2022. Since then, they have gone through a host of different managers, and things have gone from bad to worse. Under Dorival Junior, Brazil now have more losses than they do wins in competitive matches since the 2022 World Cup. In this video, we’ll break down why Brazil is struggling so much, why coaching is such a big problem for them, and the importance of Neymar as Vinicius Jr. and others try to fill the void he leaves.

Brazil forwards are not the problem because I see them receiving all the backlash. Their midfield is dead. No midfield no party. Their fluidity was still good when Neymar was on the pitch and Casemiro wasn't washed. Now there are barely any final third entries let alone good positions in the box. They miss a Kaka type figure, someone who can bind the midfield and attack or a playmaking center mid who could draw out the opposition and deliver passes between the lines or get attackers into 1v1 situations or situations where combination play is possible. The disconnect is real. It has been like this for a while now, with a couple of games here and there which are outliers.

[@RabonaTV]

Neymar really did paper over the cracks for some time.

[@phaelmadruga]

That's a problem with the way we train young players. Brazil got addicted with quick skillfull wingers, so any player that shows some sort of flair is pushed to play from the sides. If a new Kaka showed up, they would try to make him a winger. Today's national team is a reflection of that mentality, we don't have an amazing center forward, nor midfielders, because any sort of talent is pushed away from those positions.

As a Colombian, it was infuriating watching teams I considered less talented go to world cups instead of us, when we dropped the fake pride and appointed good coaches like Pekerman and Lorenzo is when we are seeing Colombia go back to world cups and playing in the Copa America final, Brazil right now have a similar problem, appoint the best coach possible! drop the useless pride!

[@robertoalves156]

This is a big problem! The Brazilian sporting scene was/is extremely resistant to the idea. Ten years ago just before 7-1, this kind of thinking was unimaginable, anyone who dared to say things like that was immediately crucified. Thankfully this is changing, but it is a slow process, they are unlikely to hire anyone unless the foreign coach is one of the best in the world. which is unlikely because they prefer to coach their own countries' national teams.

There's a reason why Brazil is being "flooded" with Portuguese coaches. Brazilian coaches are slackers and the lack of game knowledge shows in recent generations of Brazilian players. There's always a lot of chaos on the field and big gaps between sectors when you're watching a team coached by a Brazilian coach. Players need experienced coaches to bring the best out of them and chance that "slacker" mentality that older (and successful) generations didn't have.

[@jt3483]

The difference is that Vinny isn't the creator that Neymar is. He's more of a finisher. He needs the ball delivered to him in the right place. And he doesn't create chances for others either, really. Neymar can pickup the ball from midfield and create magic, or take the ball on the wing and embarrass defenders. Neymar is a combo of Ronaldinho and whichever top level Brazilian striker you choose. Maybe not as creative as Dinho, or as effective as Romario, but he's not really that far off. Without that player, Brazil needs a creative midfielder, which means they would be probably sacrificing defense at another position. Neymar is special, no matter what anyone thinks of him. He's special.

I'd say he's a better chance creator than dinho considering the burden he's been through for brazil

[@NJTRAF]

[@Felipe_AC]

Brazilian here! You guys did great, but let me share a few points: The Ronaldo/Ronaldinho era had indeed much better players, but more than quality the real issue lies on structure and gaming plan. Brazil under Tite relied heavily on 1x1 situations. For that, Brazil would divide the team in 2 blocks of 5 players. One block would defend and circulate the ball until a player on the offensive block was free (Usually at the wings), and that player would then be encouraged to dribble while others would work close to create space for him off the ball. If he was dispossessed, others would press immediately to regain the ball as fast as possible. That's why Brazil conceded fewer chances. It worked because the best players we had were dribblers, specially Neymar, and the whole team worked for those few selective players. Under Diniz the plan was completely changed. He'd instruct the players to dribble less and rely on combination play through passing. Not only the players who liked to dribble would have less space, completely butchering their characteristics. He also broke the 2-block structure of Tite, so the team was struggling to regain possession when lost, and was conceding too many counter-attacks. A complete mess, but specially revolting because of his disregard for the player's preferred style of play. But one thing is certain, they both had a pattern of how they wanted their team to play. Dorival on the other hand, wants to give freedom to his players, making them as unpredictable as possible. But instead of confusing the opposition, is confusing his players instead. Often even himself... Players think differently. For example: Danilo played on Italian 'Serie A' and there, long balls and crossings were a thing. Not as much for La Liga players though who prefer to recieve the ball on feet. Other players from England's Premier League like Guimarães or Paquetá, tend to carry the ball on feet instead of passing. So now you have 11 players, all thinking differently having to figure stuff out during the matches. It could lead to something, but it might take much more time than we actually have. If works though, that'd mean the return of "Joga bonito" in its purest form.

[@maseluss]

My opinion as a Brazilian is that Dorival shouldn't be the manager for the Seleção, we should've gone for someone like Abel Ferreira but I believe the higher ups in the CBF don't want a foreigner as head coach, our second problem is the CBF, the CBF president is useless and there's no organization within the CBF, for an example our player got stuck in Las Vegas after the loss to Uruguay in Copa America because there were no logistics to get them back to Brazil, Paquetá might've enjoyed his extra time in Las Vegas tho, and our 3rd problem is the Striker position, Dorival Júnior doesn't trust Endrick just yet and our "best" option is Pedro who plays for Flamengo, other than those two, there's no reliable choice to a number 9, Richarlison hasn't been called up ever since he admitted having depression and he wasn't reliable anyway, Evanilson was called up but never played, Matheus Cunha and Rodrigo Muniz weren't ever considered and so on

I think there is no "orchestrator" in Brasil. Even if you get a good five, if it's a defensive kind of five, you won't get a good connection between the defensive line and the forwards. Casemiro was never the guy who was great at passing. Even in his prime with Real he was always the anchor, while Xavi Alonso used to make the passes, or Kross, or even Modric. Same goes with Bruno and the other one that you mentioned. It's useless to have a great forward line if they never get the ball. They need to find that link. Even if it's no superstar playing at Europe. Argentina used some really obscure players at the world cup, and look how it went. Sometimes you don't HAVE to look at Europe to find quality.

Brazil are the most successful and iconic national football team in the world, having won a record five FIFA World Cups in the men's game, and boasting legends of the game like Pelé, Zico, and Ronaldo. Since winning their last World Cup in 2002 though, Brazil have reached just one semi-final on home soil in 2014, where they lost 7-1 against Germany, and have been sent packing in the quarter finals at every other tournament. I think that a very important aspect of the fact that we don't win anymore is that our playstyle is increasingly becoming more rigid and extremely tactical to mirror Europe playstyle, but this is something that the europeans are good at, not the brazilians. Brazil has always been strong when it had more fluidity and collective creativity and this has been controlled and discouraged by the latest coaches. It’s crazy to see that raw Brazilian playing style & flair slowly diminish. I know it’s due to a lot of Brazilian players playing in Europe but hopefully their style of football is preserved.

Be careful to not fall into results-oriented thinking. Since winning te WC in 2002, Brazil hasn't missed a single knockout (only Argentina did the same). If you look at the elimination games, in 2010, 18 and 22 they were very close and nobody would bat an eye. Every champion needs a little luck here and there and in those occasions, we didn't have it. It seems like all of our luck was reserved for the 2014 WC (the only time where advancing through the round of 16 felt like a hard task). A good reason for we not winning anymore is mostly because other teams are becoming better and fine margins are becoming more and more decisive. Argentina won the last World Cup but in every round besides the semi-finals, they were close to elimination. For 3 minutes in the last WC, we had Costa Rica and Japan advancing over Spain and Germany. Brazil is still one of the few (if not the only) national teams who didn't have to really worry about a group stage elimination in this century.

I think Brazil will somehow qualify for the World Cup. But it has the potential of being eliminated in the group stage, even though 2/3 teams will qualify for the knockout stage. Or getting eliminated in Last 32 round. To compare this, the last time Brazil got knocked out in a group stage was in 1982, but it was a 12-team stage and had the infamous Italy match, so it was similar to a quarter-final. Worst ever World Cup results are being knocked out in 16-team group stage (1966) and getting elminated in Last 16 (1934). So Brazil always ended its journey in Top 16. But not getting there in 2026 will be a HUGE failure, even if it passes qualifiers and group stage.

What a great video I discovered today… I have to say that I absolutely agree with most of the points you guys mentioned… I believe that Brazil is lacking a strong and Top tier coach who can bring the vision and direction to the players on how to align success and be on the right path to victory… It really take them some times of introspection I guess to come to that conclusion and start testing other more qualified Coaches until they get the right combination. Also, I’m no expert in football, but I tend to believe there’s not many good midfielder, so I don’t know if that plays a huge role in them not being able to emulate their best eras with a fluidity in the passes (and well… the loss of Jogo Bonito style) but they have to really rebuild themselves and look at what Argentina did… Brazil can do it, but it’ll take them time and (lot of) efforts.

Funny how Brazil allowed Jorginho and Thiago to slip through their fingers when they have had no midfield since 2006. Their full backs since Alves, Maicon and Marcelo are not impressive either

[@revirco]

This dude said he is not as smart as the other two players lmao…10x better at assisting and one game alone when Barcelona played psg…proved how intelligent of a player Neymar is.

[@TacticalManager]

Off the field my friend.

[@eelsee]

Coach tactics plays important role in teams result.....they should question the coach

[@Omeedesf]

I would have liked to see Jose Mourinho coach this team instead of going to Turkey

[@cursedseeker1273]

Literally every single aspect of the team and the whole thing has problems

[@mckillalaberry]

Maybe it's coz Brazil was ahead of its time and now the world has caught on, I see it happening with American basketball, sooner or later they may not be the best in the world

[@cheech7900]

Its a natural cycle all teams go through.

[@wingamesyugioh7981]

I would like them to not qualify for the next tournament if it means that they reset their structure on and off the pitch for longevity and trophies later

[@renaultmeganesuperleggera]

I saw someone who said, or rather blamed this problem on the players who played in Europe, causing them to lose the Brazilian football DNA or sth. And then, again, there's Argentina 😂

[@marcelotononBR]

Brasil has an identity crisis, because it has its own style, but our coaches aren't capable of implementing it. Moreover, our successful coaches do not have the habit of writing down their philosophies regarding training and the game itself. The knowledge transmission is rather oral/trust-based. This makes the own brazilian style tatics not easy to develop as it is harder to learn it. Brasil needs better tatics and management. With those, nobody can stop us.

[@varthek]

Cool vid bro, just fyi, your name in brazil could mean something like "big ass", and im not even joking Keep the great work

[@juancastro3622]

2 things: 1a Quality of the coach is obsolete, 2a Corruption in CBF with patrociners, especially sports agents buyng atletes convocation and the consequence enviroment of athletes corrupts feeling secure in your position not for your competence, but, for the indication.

[@nathanmerchant7696]

Messi scored 5 goals against Estonia in 1 game and Vinis only scored 5 goals for Brazil total 😮

[@DavidLimofLimReport]

Brazil's decline as football power is very similar to the All Blacks' decline as a rugby power. Although I can't see Brazil recovering from this unlike NZ given the amount of corruption and lack of money in the game.

[@subhadityabasu9224]

Brazil team suddenly aged. Casemiro Coutinho all went out of form. Richarlison Jesus didnt reach their potential. Neymar has injury issues and the team has always been heavily reliant on him. Brazil has always been about raw talent and not tactics.

[@erdnasiul87]

They don't learn and refuse to learn.

[@EbenFrazier-f8z]

I think that the reason why Brazil are kinda washed. Is because after their success in the 90s their is so much pressure on them. Especially the wonderkids, and they usually fail.

[@shawngreenjr.9548]

Neymar has always been far too disrespected in his career. Even if people think he never reached his full potential, he was always been a top player right behind Ronaldo and Messi

[@fredsflintstone3702]

Souness will probably blame it on Pogba.

[@marihutten]

Other than, no good coaches in Brazil, it isn't producing brainy midfielders (The type that are not huge dribblers but are smart, I'm thinking the Kroos and Rodri types). Sure, there are many that are some of the best midfielders in the Premier League, but they're the best while playing in a mid-table team, not the top 4. And this means that they play in a system meant to defend. So imagine your forwards have killer talent and your playing style should be more aggressive but your midfield, which are the players that control the game, are defensive-minded because they play in teams that are trying to defend themselves against more powerful teams. So there is basically 0 compatibility between the strong attack, the uncreative-scared-to-take-any-risks midfield, and the strong defense. Brazil is also producing great defenders. Once Brazil, and basically everybody else too, stops obsessing about "joga bonito" and instead value more of the "joga inteligente" (play smart) then we will be back to winning again. The "joga bonito" obsession makes Brazil only generate wingers. Wingers are usually dribblers. You ask a Brazilian what a good footballer is and they'll list you a bunch of dribbling wingers, rarely every will they list a Cannavaro or a Beckenbauer. Basically, unless you're making juggling tricks like Ronaldinho most Brazilians don't consider you a great player. I say this as a Brazilian myself often disagreeing with other compatriots about the concept of what makes a good footballer because of this. As a non-dribbling type of female player myself this was always a point on contention to me, as I looked up to Kroos more than showboating footballers out there. lol That also correlates as to why Brazil isn't producing traditional full backs (this seems to be a thing in most countries, actually) but in Brazil specifically they are sort of pushed to become a winger if they're skilled enough. For example, Vini was a fullback when he first started playing as a kid. In the list of coaches I think you forgot to mention Zagallo, right? Dude was kind of a genius, how can you make a team made up of 10s work well? Only he did. Too bad he's dead though. But yeah, overall, Brazil coaches absolutely suck for the past 20 years lol

[@meentage]

One man doesn't carry the team they keep talking about neymar but forgot that other stars like thiago silva, marcelo, fernadinho, fit casimiro etc

[@LameLoura]

I can’t believe you didn’t mention the cat.

[@mwambachembeya]

Truth is that Brazil aren't built for Vini Jr. The same way it was built for Neymar.

[@Wazza.10]

Bro talking about Neymar being close to Ronaldo and Messi but forgot about Wayne Rooney

[@okocha7914]

Neymar clears Wayne rooney

[@JPMMAPicks]

Jurgen Klopp to Brazil here we go

[@kazd4477]

"vini had a balon d'or worthy season, however..." HOWEVER?????? REALLY????? just because he stunk up in the copa for ONE FLIPPIN MONTH, doesn't erase the fact that he's been the best player itw THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE OF LAST SEASON. all this 'rodri' PR is really living rent free in people's head smh

[@houradm.419]

Why they don't use andrey santos he is really good and im shok why not both Chelsea and Brazil don't use him imagine him alongside bruno guimarsh thats perfect

[@gavinmoras6557]

This team needs a KAKA Brazil is just like Madird they have attack but no proper number 10

[@romadrigal9271]

Jardine Club America’s coach he’s pretty good imo

[@EverythingFootball-r3p]

Just my dumb opinion but brazil are struggling bc 1. No fear factor. Great players but does vini jr bring fear to your heart like neymar kaka ronaldihno etc did that his age no 2. Football has changed. Teams play more organized than ever no more of that showboating stuff sadly no more free flowing football everything is more planned out and that simply doesn’t work for brazil 3. Brazil only produces great attacking players and goalkeepers. Midfields and defenders seem none existent rn

[@MRMixedup]

It's because they need to play the GOAT Antony every game!

[@StunDan]

I predicted this in early 2000's

[@AdpYTExplorer]

People need to understand Vini jr is not the next Neymar. He brought a lot more.

[@NedMcG]

Casemiro hasn't played for Brazil this year.

[@fabian8959]

Bro Put Pochetino as a top coach COME ON DUDE 😂😂😂

[@JR-yh4wv]

Bros how does that one dude become the coach of the national team?
