Brazil is a team with a lot of potential and is expected to perform really well in the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Many of Brazil’s squad members are in terrific form and will hope to continue this form till the start of the FIFA World Cup.
They are expected to top their group and qualify for the knockout stages of the World Cup. Brazil reached the finals of the 2021 Copa America tournament. Although they lost the finals to Argentina, Brazil’s dominance in the tournament caught many people's eyes and will serve as a warning for all teams going against them in the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Brazil is also one of the favorites to win the FIFA World Cup as well and it will not be surprising if they go all the way and win the World Cup trophy.

Who Is Brazil’s Head Coach?
Adenor Leonardo Bacchi, commonly known as Tite, has been Brazil’s manager since 2016. Tite was announced as Brazil’s manager after Dunga was fired in June 2016. This sacking came after Brazil’s terrible performance in the 2016 Copa America Centenario which saw Brazil get eliminated in the group stages itself. Tite led Brazil to the Quarter Finals of the 2018 FIFA World Cup followed by a wonderful run in the 2019 Copa America tournament which saw Brazil lift the Copa America trophy.
Brazil also reached the finals of the 2021 Copa America tournament but was denied back-to-back trophies by Argentina who beat them in the finals of the 2021 Copa America tournament. Tite will now hope to lift the 2022 FIFA World Cup with Brazil and put the final feather in his cap as Brazil’s head coach.
Brazil’s Strengths and Weaknesses
Brazil’s biggest strength is its squad depth and the number of players they have in every position. They have young exciting talents like Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo, and Gabriel Jesus, as well as Experience in players like Thiago Silva and Casemiro. This balance helps Brazil get an evened-out squad which all teams competing in the World Cup will have to watch out for. The one criticism received by Brazil is regarding their manager.
Many people have said that Tite is weak as a manager and does not have any tactics, and that Brazil could perform a lot better if this talented squad played under a better manager. Till now Tite has managed to make Brazil reach the Quarter-finals of the 2018 FIFA World Cup, win the 2019 Copa America trophy, and end up as runners up in the 2021 Copa America tournament.
This record is nothing to laugh about and whether it is Tite’s tactics or Brazil’s talent, Brazil have been a very dominant team since Tite was appointed as the manager. Only time will tell how Tite’s Brazil squad will perform in the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
