Tite avoided the trap of comparisons on Tuesday after Brazil’s victory against Peru (4-2) in qualifying for the 2022 World Cup. An evening marked by the hat-trick of Neymar, now second highest scorer in the history of the selection (64 goals) ahead of Ronaldo (62). The Brazilian coach refused to enter the comparisons between the two legends of the Seleçao who marked their passage at two different times. He still welcomes the new face displayed by the PSG striker.
“Neymar is a bow and arrows”
“Each historic moment of the selection, each generation, has its own values, explains the coach. There was extraordinary Ronaldo” Fenomeno “. There is Rivaldo, Romário, Bebeto, each has had his time. It is unfair to make comparisons in the stages of each. What I can say is that Neymar has this unpredictability, he’s a bow and arrows. He’s also a player to pass and end up in the finish. It gets better and better, with increasing maturity. “
Despite Brazil’s difficulties against Peru, Tite did everything to put the former FC Barcelona star in the best conditions on the pitch. “We try to bring him and give him the ball in the most important sector of the field, he explains. It’s close to the opposing midfielders, there he is creative, he has the feint, the dribble. He doesn’t dribble just to juggle, but to get to the goal. Unbalance is his hallmark. “
