Brazil has been having a bad time since the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. That influence was also evident in the recent 2026 World Cup qualifiers. However, in their last match they beat Ecuador 1-0. This time, the coach of the team, Darival Jr., said that soon the five-time world champions will return to their old form after passing the bad time. He even believes that his team will play in the finals of the 2026 World Cup!

Brazil is currently in fourth place in the World Cup qualifiers. But from this position and even if the overall performance of the team is not as good as expected, an optimistic Darival, ‘Believe me, we will play in the final of the 2026 World Cup. I have no question about it. If it doesn’t happen, then come and catch me.’
Darival believes that his team is improving, “We are trying to find the best combination of ourselves.” We’re already doing well on getting the ball back. Now we are regaining possession of the ball before the opponent makes three passes.

Everyone is feeling Neymar’s absence in the squad. The Brazil coach spoke about that separately, ‘We still have a weakness in the opponent’s box. We need a reliable player who will throw off the balance of the opposition.

But it takes some time to improve in all aspects. It will take some time to organize the team, said Darival himself – ‘Our progress will not happen overnight! It will take some time, but we will be back to normal soon.’

Brazil will take the field against Paraguay in the World Cup qualifying match on Wednesday at 6:30 am Bangladesh time. Winning will be their main goal.
