after two rounds of south american qualifiers for the 2026 world cup, brazil, the five-time world cup champion, has only won 1 and lost 1. in the last six rounds of the world cup qualifiers, brazil has only scored 3 goals. the samba army's weak offensive power is completely inconsistent with its status as a traditional giant.

after 8 rounds of matches, brazil has 3 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses with 10 points, ranking fifth among the 10 teams in south america. venezuela ranks sixth with 10 points, paraguay and bolivia rank seventh and eighth with 9 points. the top six teams in south america advance directly to the world cup, and the seventh team goes to the play-offs.

rodrygo calls on neymar

on september 7, brazil beat ecuador 1-0 at home, with real madrid striker rodrigo scoring the only goal of the game in the 30th minute. on september 11, brazil lost 0-1 to paraguay away, with the three real madrid strikers vinicius, rodrigo and endric starting in the game doing nothing. vinicius was named the best player in the champions league last season and is the biggest favorite for the 2024 ballon d'or, but his influence on the national team is still limited.

vinicius plays as a left winger, and the brazilian superstar neymar, who has been recovering from a long-term injury, also plays as a left winger. when they coexist on the field, neymar can play as a front midfielder, and can also attack the opponent's right side with vinicius. rodrigo called on neymar to return to save brazil, and to some extent, he also showed his distrust of real madrid teammate vinicius. although vinicius has certain abilities, he likes to fight with opponents and referees, and it has become commonplace for him to get yellow cards. his performance in the brazilian team is sometimes good and sometimes bad.
