End point in 2024. This year, the Brazilian team no longer go to the field. The players will now only meet in March 2025. Until then, it is not known whether Dorival Junior will continue at the head of the team, if Neymar will be fully recovered from his injuries. Ultimately, Canarinho arrives at this moment with many more questions than certainties.
The season, which began with a new coach and consistent performances against European rivals, ended without the Copa América title – in fact, Brazil didn't even come close to competing for the cup – and with oscillating performances in the Qualifiers of World cup from 2026. It is a fact, yes, that the intention of resuming protagonism was very far from becoming a reality.
Can it be said that some names emerge with strength to have more opportunities? Yes, and it is mentioned, for example, Luiz Henrique. Could it be said that new talents need more space? Yes, and here we talk mainly about Stephensince Endrick is a little off. Can it be said that great players continue without showing great football with Amarelinha? Yes, and here there is no way to leave it aside Vinicius Junior.
Another year passed, and The Brazilian team still doesn't look like a Brazilian team. There is no doubt that we will be at the World Cup to be organized jointly by the United States, Canada and Mexico. But there is also no certainty that the team will arrive in 2026 with the possibility of dreaming of the much-desired sixth championship.
