Five important keys to Tite’s Selecao shift

World Cup Russia 2018 Team Brazil has had turbulent years and healing those wounds from their semi-final against Germany at Brazil 2014. But now, judging by the results and the performances of the team things seem to have changed since then. This team touches down in Sochi on Sunday and seems that all of that turbulence is in the past. Their coach, Tite has not had to perform any kind of magic to make A Selecao to be serious contenders once more by trying to make them five-time world champions. Their back on track has 5 reasons why Brazil may be champions again under Tite’s command. World Cup Russia 2018 Here are the 5 reasons: Honest relationship His authority is based on dialogue and a lot of fairness in his voice. Brazil’s players are praising him for his communication skills and plain speaking. Two things are pretty clear when it comes to his approach. No one is above anyone else in Tite’s squad and no one is immune to criticism. It has helped him to gain the respect and made him pretty much confident. An open door The coach and his support staff have been traveling a lot and making several journeys to Europe so they can watch training sessions and matches, and most importantly of all to talk to the players. Thanks to the dialogue that they have, the players have been able to talk about which positions they feel most comfortable. Tite had also talked with their club coaches and has been gathering ideas. A well-oiled unit What he has been preached, he has put into practice. Tite has turned A Selecao into a team and restored their standing. He believes that there is so much more to this unit than individual flair, because of the star players that Brazil has.  There is a whole machine that is working well behind their performances. Correct decisions Tite handed a start and a maiden cap to the 19-year-old Gabriel Jesus, who was an Olympic gold medalist at Rio 2016 in his first match in charge, against Ecuador in Quito. Thanks to that decision the teenager scored twice is a 3-0 that sparked the Brazilian revival. Casemiro was the next player that has been assigned to a holding midfield role, one he has performed ever since. Giving the youth a chance doesn’t mean that he forgot and recalled some of the well-known names such as Marcelo and Thiago Silva. A solid base Tite showed he was one step ahead of the reporters by stating that there was no-one in his squad who had picked themselves when he announced his final 23-man list for Russia. And he had only a couple of years so he can prepare A Selecao for Russia 2018. In Tite’s very first squad list is a fact that 15 members of the 23-man party at Russia 2018 reveal how consistent he has been in terms of team selection.   World Cup Russia 2018  

FIFA WORLD CUP RUSSIA 2018 Group D:  Most Important Players

FIFA WORLD CUP RUSSIA 2018 Group D:  Most Important Players   The very tricky fixture is shaping this group into a very interesting one. Group D needs some friendships to be on hold for the Cup when it comes to Croatia and Argentina. The teammates Ivan Rakitić and Lionel Messi. This will be an exciting group on the World Cup. There might be surprises from Iceland and Nigeria too. And maybe they could change the outcome of the game, who knows.   #1 Argentina – Lionel Messi Against Ecuador, Messi scored a hat-trick so Argentina can qualify for the World Cup. Messi had an outstanding performance well known as one of the best players in the world could have. After losing three finals we hope that Messi will be determined to score some more goals and bring a bunch of wins so Argentina can take the trophy at home.  His performance never fails, so let’s see how he’s going to show off.   #2  Iceland – Gylfi Sigurðsson Being the smallest country to ever participate in a World Cup Iceland is going to make some history in Russia. The leading goal scorer aboard with his dead ball skills will make him the biggest threat to whoever  Iceland plays against. He has a goal scoring habit that makes so easy for the player to be one of the top goal scorers.  Sigurdsson is the best chance of high profile player that Iceland has on the pitch.   #3 Croatia – Ivan Perišić This might be the last year of having chance Croatian talents like Mario Mandžukić, Vedran Ćorluka, and Luka Modrić to play together on a Cup. Getting on the side of being 30 brings some bad news. Perišić is believed to be the creator of chances to actually be the key to live up their title as Dark Horses. Years ago in the previous Cups, they used to underperform, but this year Croatia has Ivan Perišić on the left side of the midfield.   #4 Nigeria – Kelechi Iheanacho Nigeria remained unbeaten during qualification, so they made some magic on the field indeed. Even though Iheanacho didn’t have the best of debut season at Leicester he is ready to prove his worth and to show his impressive skills and performance. Expect that he will show the best of him for being the best player that Nigeria has. Along with the skills of Iwobi, Moses, and Ndidi, they will hopefully get Nigeria to some higher position in this group if they have enough luck. FIFA WORLD CUP RUSSIA 2018 Group D
