3) Tactics may have changed. But Neymar still the main man!
Tite’s tactics may have rejuvenated the Brazilian side and given it new belief. But when the going gets tough, the team is spurred on by the magic of Neymar. He notched up two goals and two assists in the two games under Tite, and was the game changer in the second qualifier against Colombia when Brazil were looking like heading for a draw.
His clinical left-footed finish ensured Brazil came out of the bruising encounter with a 2-1 win. With 48 goals from 72 internationals, the Brazilian talisman looks well on his way to overhaul Pele’s record of 77 goals in Selecao colours.
