In the recent World Cup South American qualifiers, the Brazilian team made a stunning comeback, setting a new high score in the team's history, and a record high score in the history of South America. With an unbeaten record of 40 goals scored and only 6 conceded, the Brazilian team was nearly perfect!

Final Round. Although it is often difficult to map South American preliminaries directly to the World Cup stage, especially against Europe's top teams, the difference between South American and European teams is obvious, but such a good Brazilian team is undoubtedly full of expectations for its World Cup performance, and even hope to win the long-lost gold cup after nearly 20 years of failure to win the title.

Brazil's attacking line continues to be anchored by team legend Neymar, who at the age of 30 is still in his prime on the field, having matured even more at Paris Saint-Germain. His crossing skills, passing ability and game creativity are all at a high level, and he is not expected to have the same impact as he did four years ago.

The field. Nowadays, Neymar has become a striker who can bring great benefits to the team's overall offense, and his role in front of the field is very important. Whether he can link up the attacking line or not, Neymar will play a key role.
Vinícius Júnior, one of the most popular Brazilian stars in European soccer, has been in the spotlight since winning the UEFA Champions League with Real Madrid last season. Winning praise from the fans for his outstanding performances on the pitch and winning every start against tough opponents, Vinicius is incredibly fast and good at breaking through, partnering up with French striker Benzema, and specializing in forward passes that can be converted into goal-scoring patterns at any time. At just 22 years old, he has already become a key attacking weapon on the left side of the pitch for both Real Madrid and Brazil.
Richarlison, the striker who was a worrying injury-plagued prospect, has now made a successful recovery. Standing at 184cm tall, Richarlison possesses excellent physical qualities, with great speed, a superb shot and simple movements. As an all-round striker, he is an indispensable center forward for the Brazilian team up front, working well with the likes of Neymar and Vinicius to keep him firmly in the front line.
Raphinha, who plays for Barcelona, has a powerful breakout power on the right side of the field. As a high-level winger, he excels in speed, explosiveness, change of direction dinking and crossing skills. When playing against his opponent's feet, he is always able to force his way through with his superb technique, whether it's crossing or passing, he is always able to get it just right. He is expected to play more of an inside-out dinking role in the Brazilian team, with Manchester United's Antony set to be his replacement, and despite his skill, Raphinha's all-round game seems to be the better one at the moment.
