After a final international break, the 2022 FIFA World Cup is almost upon us.
One of the favourites (as they usually are) to win the tournament in Qatar is Brazil, and they are for several reasons: in addition to the regularity and excellent level of performances in qualification, Canarinho is full of world class talent in every position, and world class talent that is bang in form right now.
But who are the protagonists who will arrive in Qatar with the responsibility of winning a sixth title for their nation? Well, that’s what we’re here to find out. Below are the players 90min think will make the ‘plane’ for the World Cup.
The fourth centre-back spot in the squad is very much up for debate, with the fight looking to be between Lucas Verissimo and Gabriel Magalhaes for it. At the moment it’s hard to choose between them.
The ex-Man Utd man will probably just make the cut due to Guilherme Arana’s injury.
It’s between Roberto Firmino and Matheus Cunha for the final forward spot in the squad. While the latter got some minutes during the September friendlies, Firmino seems like a safer bet due to his experience and versatility.
Remember this name. Pedro could be the surprise star of the World Cup.
A traditional centre forward, the Brazilian is in exceptional form at club level – bagging 34 goal contributions, including 24 goals – and may be a key player for Brazil if given the chance.
Everton Ribeiro’s not the flashiest player, but his industry on and off the ball will earn him a spot on the plane.
One of Brazil’s exciting young players, Bruno Guimaraes is a modern midfielder, capable of defending and supporting the forwards with equal quality. The Olympic champion is practically guaranteed to be in the squad.
His absence from the September squad may have left his World Cup selection in doubt, but due to his previous performances in a Brazil shirt he should still make it.
The best goalkeeper playing in Brazil right now, expect Weverton to be the nation’s third choice keeper this winter.
