For some reason Brazil can only develop wingers now
Where are the strikers? fullbacks?
My guess is that they care more about making money and wingers sell easily in Europe
That's actually kinda right.
Agents and teams here kinda only give a fuck about making bank selling players to anywhere that pays well enough. Brazil's entire roster ever since the post 2010 Cup consists more in calling players to increase their revenue value for post Cup rather than actually building something to win.
A lot of people, myself included, believe that this 2026 edition was "sacrificed" in order to have a last shot of exploiting Neymar's image for profit and make bank for some players (raphinha was said to be having huge financial issues, so there was hope he was gonna get offered to some saudi team like neymar was, among others). So Ancelotti kinda accepted this deal in the exchange that he would get more authority for the 2030 cycle.
Is it cope? Probably.
But the part that CBF uses the national team as a mere negotiation table is nothing new and quite well known here.
Also, I've always hated Neymar and have always advocated for the fact that he actively ruined the team by trying to be "greater" than it.
Garbage ass player that I hope doesnt come back in this next cycle so we can finally start healing.
Before Neymar we would lose to the actual finalists. France in 2006, Netherlands in 2010. After Neymar? Biggest humiliation in our history in 2014+losing to the Europe's B-squad in 2018/2022/2026.
