A reformed Brazil

Brazil have stuttered and stumbled in recent years, but the current squad are a motivated unit under manager Tite, who has brought beam on face. Head coach Tite instilled them with confidence and the outcome is a tactically well-drilled side with collective play and individual talent.
And that is why, Brazil have already reached the World Cup Football finals 2018 with four matches in hands by dint of reformed team work and powerful gunfire, which reminds the world of soccer of Brazil’s 1958 wonderful squad consisting of Garrincha, Pele, Santos, Gilmar, Bellini, Didi and others under Head coach Vicente Feola. Brazil won their first world title in 1958 translating super combination, excellent shooting capacities, tremendous foot and head work into action.
The soccer experts have begun to predict that Brazil will win their sixth title next year to be hosted by Russia. In the qualifying round, they played so far 14 matches, won 10, drew three, lost one, secured 33 points. Nearest rivals Colombia have 24 points, Uruguay and Chile 23 each, Argentina 22, Peru and Paraguay 18 each, Bolivia 10 and Venezuela 6. Each side will play 18 matches.
Contrarily, Argentina are in quick sand after 0-2 loss to Bolivia in the away match on Tuesday night that saw Brazil swamping Paraguay 3-0. Can’t the BFF appoint a qualified coach to mend Bangladesh football team?
