For readers of Sheetmistakes by Tite in preparing the Brazilian team and in the team’s lineup for the dispute against Croatia for the quarterfinals explain Brazil’s defeat in the World Cup.
Last Friday (9), Brazil was eliminated by Croatia on penalties, after 0-0 in regular time and 1-1 in overtime, ending the Brazilian dream of winning the sixth championship.
Coach Tite left the field shortly after the defeat and announced that he would leave the command of the selection.
The coach made the wrong choices and, defeated, abandoned his players on the field. Doubly guilty.
“A technician has the mission, to schedule, configure and give instructions to his team. I am a teacher and that is how I know my students. So, if I participate in a championship or competition, I put the fine silver: there is what is good in orality , another who is good at writing, who is quick to give answers. Together they form a cohesive team, ready and ready to win; if it doesn’t happen, it will be because the other side has a stronger team”, evaluated Vera Lúcia Campos Leite, 55, from Cuiabá (MT).
“In the case of Brazil, the coach made the wrong choices (even for the penalty) and, defeated, abandoned his players on the field. Doubly guilty.”
Since 2018 I’ve been saying that we’ll only win a Cup again when we have a top European coach.
Businessman Jayme Eduardo Rincon, 64, from São Paulo (SP), attributed the defeat exclusively to the coach. “Tite did not update himself, he remained a hostage of his delay and placed himself more as a psychologist than a coach. He called up badly, played poorly and substituted badly. Since 2018 I have been saying that we will only win a Cup again when we have a top European coach .”
“The Brazilian team started with a very slow style of play, losing the midfield and having difficulties against the annoying Croatian team. Tite took a while to make the changes. Brazil finally improved in the second half, created chances and deserved to win in overtime; then came a general inattention and the fatal error of the counterattack that tied the match. Inadmissible. Rodrygo should also not have the pressure to start taking penalties”, analyzed journalist Celso Luís Gallo, 30, from Araraquara (SP).
“In World Cup knockouts, details make the difference. Unfortunately, it was in favor of the Croatians. It was a painful defeat for a promising team.”
There is a lack of team, set, habit of playing together. As long as it’s a ‘gathering’ of big stars, it will stay that way.
“There is a lack of team, team, habit of playing together. As long as it is a ‘gathering’ of great stars, it will continue like this. It is not by chance that we have seen individual talents shining and not an eye-popping set”, said social worker Mara Jacota Cohen, 63, from São Paulo (SP).
For sociologist Ricardo dos Santos Batista, 33, from São Paulo (SP), there was “creative difficulty and overvaluation of the individual image of the players”.

“Croatia was better. In fact, I think that a country with 3.9 million inhabitants must have a very good education (and physical education) system, to be able to identify and prepare these talents. Brazil in all areas, not just sport. Congratulations Croatia, well deserved!”
Daniela Franco, 53, physical education teacher (São Paulo, SP)
“The lack of humility, powerful dances, relying too much on personal assets and hoping to be the best. Nothing to do with responsibility and work…”
Hermenson Azevedo Sá, 64, locksmith (Belo Horizonte, MG)
“I attribute it to the Neymardependency syndrome.”
Joel Rosa da Rocha, 55, lawyer (Itapevi, SP)
“Lack of psychological preparation. Since 2014, what hinders the Brazilian team is not technique, it is emotional: insecurity, nervousness, the weight of the shirt, ego, sense of collective, unrealistic expectations… a) psychology professional. If these issues are treated seriously, with professionalism, as great teams do, the next Cup is ours!”
Pâmela Lunardelli, 35, psychologist (Florianópolis, SC)
“Vanity. After Neymar’s goal, the atmosphere was one of victory, the end of the game. They celebrated before the hour. And Tite’s choice for who to take the first penalty.”
Nilcilea Peixoto, 68, executive secretary (Juiz de Fora, MG)
“When we scored 1-0 in the first period of extra time, we had to keep possession of the ball. We were better physically, with younger players, but we lacked maturity. Brazil didn’t have the spirit nor did it have the responsibility to take the team to the cup.”
José Roberto Paulino, 72, designer (São Luiz do Paraitinga, SP)
“Today, Brazilian players do not play for pleasure, but for money and stardom. Stop paying millions for egos and recruit talent and love for the sport. Let part of the salary go to social causes, to educate young people in sport.”
Eliana Machado, teacher (São Paulo, SP)
“They don’t play for Brazil, lack of passion and love for the shirt they wear when playing. They haven’t acquired the maturity to face decisive games as a cohesive team committed to victory.”
Terezinha Ribeiro Alvim, 67, teacher (Belo Horizonte, MG)
“The opponent was not faced with the necessary respect. There was a lack of awareness throughout the tournament that defeat was a possibility. The CBF team was left with high heels in the Qatar Cup. There was a lack of a professional in charge. It’s time to look for another kind of coach.”
Lucas Christianu Vaz Costa, 39, civil servant (Recife, PE)
“The team had no soul. It lacked hunger for the ball.”
Ciro Gusmão Jr, 64, retired (Brasília, DF)
“The omen of the cat that was withdrawn by the CBF advisor.”
João Silva, 34, teacher (Sorocaba, SP)
“There was a lack of determination, disposition and, mainly, soccer, but there were dollars left and disposition for meat with gold. Mercenaries above all.”
José Geraldo Silva, 62, electrical engineer (São José Campos, SP)
“A bunch of kids more concerned with dances, choreography, drumming, bleached hair, shaved eyebrows… In other words, concerned with creating fads and not playing football seriously. You don’t see that in any of the other selections.”
Luciana Mendes, 43, lawyer (Ribeirão Preto, SP)
“Lack of a true leader on the field.”
Paulo Vasconcelos, 38, physical trainer (São Paulo, SP)
