World Cup football means Brazil is the favorite. This is an unwritten practice for five-time world champions. No matter who the team is, no one takes the risk of keeping Brazil out of the World Cup favorites.This time there is no reason for him to be an exception. This time Brazil team with Neymar, Vinicius, Rafinha, Antonio is full of that talent! Discussions have started on the possibility of Brazil winning the 'Hexa' or the sixth World Cup after the teams' draw in the World Cup in Qatar was held yesterday.
Brazil is in Group G along with Switzerland, Serbia and Cameroon. Two of the opponents are from Europe, the other is from Africa. All three teams are quite strong.You have to be well prepared to defeat a strong opponent. In the eyes of many, this is exactly the problem with Brazil and Argentina, the two superpowers of Latin America. The preparation match against the European team is not being played that way!
However, the Brazilian coach Tito considered it a problem but also counter-argued. What is that argument? If not playing with a European team is a problem for Brazil-Argentina, isn't the fact that European teams are not getting a chance to play with Brazil-Argentina also a problem for the European team?Before the start of the World Cup, all the teams play preparation matches, in these matches the preparation for the World Cup is taken. The problem with Argentina-Brazil is that they do not have a strong European opponent in the list of preparation matches.
Argentina will play European champions Italy at Wembley on June 1, but Brazil has no chance. Brazil will not be able to face any European team before the World Cup as they cannot easily find a date for the warm-up match.For Brazil-Argentina, the deficit could be even bigger. However, the Brazilian coach is also looking at the reverse of the coin.
The Brazilian coach told Argentine media outlet TYC Sports: "What's the problem with European teams not being able to face each other? Yes, it will. But European teams will also have problems. Because, they will not face Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay or Ecuador before the World Cup. '"I don't know how good Brazil is because I don't have the opportunity to play against the big teams in Europe before the World Cup," he said.
In the four years between the two World Cups from 2014 to 2018, Brazil has faced eight European teams. But after being eliminated from the quarter-finals of the 2018 World Cup, Brazil has only once played against a European team in 2019 against the Czech Republic.
Meanwhile, Argentina has also canceled the friendly match with Mexico. Because, the two teams are in the same group in the World Cup.
"We know how we will play," Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni said in a statement. So having to see the other team. I personally want to prepare for the World Cup by playing with rivals. If that is not possible then we have to find another team. 'Argentina could have either Israel or Australia as an alternative to Mexico. Although the matter has not been confirmed yet. There are also Brazil-Argentina matches postponed in the World Cup qualifiers, which could take place in June-September. Or Argentina can get any Arab team as an opponent in the preparation match.
