Tite summons this Friday (11) 26 players for the last rounds of the Qualifiers. The list will be released two days after the planet saw the gala performances of Mbappé, in the first half, and Benzema, in the second half, in Real Madrid 3 x 1 Paris Saint-Germain.
France is the best team on the planet.
Paris can’t have the best team.
Always dreamed of having.
French journalist Gabriel Hanot invented the European Champions Cup in 1955, after reading in English newspapers that Wolverhampton were world champions, just for having won a friendly against Honved, from Hungary.
Hanot objected and wrote that it would be necessary to create a more representative tournament. The European Cup was born that way, with the French hope of winning.
France won two World Cups after that and only one Champions League, in 1993, under the corrupt management of Senator Bernard Tapie at Olympique de Marseille.
In 1986, businessman Jean Luc Lagardere decided to start a project to expand Racing de Paris and turn it into a European champion in five seasons with the support of the Matra car factory.
Any similarity is not coincidental.
PSG signed Neymar to win the Champions League in five years. The deadline has expired.
In these five seasons, PSG lived with different problems. Disagreements between Neymar and Cavani, resolved during the 2017/18 season, which ended with elimination for Real Madrid in the round of 16.
Coach Unai Emery was accused by the locker room of benefiting the players he could relate to, the lower clergy, such as Lo Celso, Berchiche and Rabiot, instead of valuing strong personalities of Draxler, Neymar, Mbappé and Cavani.
The first PSG coach hired with money from Qatar was Carlo Ancelotti. Upon arrival, he marveled at the lack of discipline. Players would go home late in the morning instead of spending the day working at the training center like at Chelsea or Milan.
In 2020, PSG reached the final, after Neymar made his physical recovery at his home in Mangaratiba. To this day, Neymar has the right to recover in his mansion. At Barcelona, it wasn’t like that.
In Catalunya, Neymar was not injured and was PSG’s tormentor, better on the field in the 6-1 of Barça, which finished the French in the round of 16 of 2017. Neymar was lighter and faster than he showed he was in Madrid.
Concern for Tite and for the Brazilian team.
Neymar had a great performance in the first half against Real, he was a good supporting player for Mbappé. In the second stage, he disappeared. Benzema and Modric shone. Vinicius Junior was a good secondary player, with indirect participation in the three goals.
Marquinhos, Militão, Rodrygo, Vinicius and Neymar were on the field at the Bernabéu and could be at the World Cup in eight months.
In Qatar, there will be between seven and nine teams with a chance of winning. Brazil is among them, but there are times when the appearance is of a chasm between our level and theirs.
One of them happened in October, when the selection suffered to turn a game against Venezuela, hours after France’s spectacular victory over Belgium, in the League of Nations. Another, with the comparison of Neymar with Benzema, Modric and Mbappé in the magnificent Real Madrid 3 x 1 Paris Saint-Germain.
Neymar returned from injury three weeks ago after spending 78 days at the shipyard. You can play better in the Cup.
But watch out!
It’s been five years since Qataris believed in Neymar. Neymar has just eight months to bet on Qatar.
