The Brazilian national team has once again impressed. 45 minutes of the first half were enough to destroy the defense of the South Korean team. During this time the ball has been in the opponent’s goal four times. And it’s not all the goalscoring opportunities that the Brazilians have transformed.
It took less than a quarter of an hour for Tita’s wards to secure a comfortable lead in scoring. But the main thing is that the Brazilians did not stop after that, presenting an excellent example of attacking football. And, by the way, they repeated the success of the 1954 team, which also scored four goals in the first half against Mexico. There was no such thing even in the time of Pele, whom Brazilian footballers supported at the end of the game.
But, paying tribute to the winner, we must not forget that the Brazilians’ most serious rivals are yet to come. And the closest are the vice-champions of the 2018 World Cup, the Croatians.
