It's a shame, in fact for me Brazil represents the world capital of football, whatever they say it is, I only know a small city and I loved it, but football was what was most breathed and that's something I liked, in fact to measure yourself with the Brazilians you need to train a lot, while the Brazilians play as if nothing and it seems like they never get tired, that's something I like, of course I went in 2014 after the World Cup and I saw the Arena stadium in Manaus, but I loved it, in addition to its people, its samba and everything, playing in the arena has been very difficult against them, it's something I suffered a lot, but in order not to be ashamed I had to give it my all, afterwards I couldn't because of tiredness at night, but at that time the aroma of football was very alive there, that's what the players have to recover now.
Anyone who plays football in the world knows Brazil as the most important and strongest country because of the many superstar players they had before and because of the high potential they have in Brazil but still having potential won't solve anything and other than this Brazil needs to have a better management system for their team to have better performance while they don't have it.
Even they could have used the former players and coaches they have for management but they didn't and this is a great sign of corruption in Brazil football.
Brazil WAS, and Brazil always along his history wich is very rich , has been this cicles of being a not so competitive team, if you see the history of world cups, they are Pele era + 1994 to 2002, after that they still have good teams until 2006 but since that it was pure downfall, even with Neymar who is a super star, but the team never was at his level.
