#4 Immense bench strength
There are so many match-winners in this team that it transcends beyond the playing XI. They are covered in every area – be it in front of the goal or across the field in attack.
Brazil’s second goalkeeper is the most expensive goalkeeper in the history of football: Ederson. The Manchester City shot-stopper was an essential cog in Pep Guardiola’s league-winning Manchester City and someone like him has to wait on the bench as back up.
Meanwhile, Liverpool’s Champions League finalist forward Roberto Firmino can’t find a place in the team due to the presence of Gabriel Jesus. This is a guy who is a pure match-winner that can turn the game around after appearing from the bench.
Marquinhos, Douglas Costa, Fernandinho… the list goes on and on. This just gives Brazil the extra dimension needed to win the tournament. On top of that…
