Tite’s side has arguably the best in the World Cup. Under Tite, Brazil has played 25 games and conceded only six goals. They have kept clean sheets in 18 games and won 20 of them. They have also scored 54 goals in those games.

The centre-back pairing of Marquinhos and Miranda was exceptional for Brazil throughout the qualifying campaign. Alisson Becker was a rock between the sticks and played a huge part in their recent success.

Thiago Silva replaced Marquinhos at the back for the 2018 World Cup and has done a great job so far. Brazil has conceded only one goal in the World Cup and kept three clean sheets in four games.

Alisson Becker has made only three saves so far in the competition, showing how good the Brazilians at the back. Even without the injured Dani Alves, this Brazil teams looks very assured at the back.
