Brazil did enough to get through their group with a game in hand by beating Switzerland, but this wasn’t their most sparkling performance…
It had been considered that the worst excesses of Neymardepencia had drained away as a new generation of brilliant Brazilian attackers broke through. There was no need for Brazil to feel as though they needed to depend on moments of magic from this one particular player.
And 2022 has mirrored this tendency only in miniature. Switzerland started the year by failing to win any of their first five games – losing four of them – but they arrived for this game having won four of their last five, including wins against both Spain and Portugal, as well as having won their opening game of this tournament against Cameroon.
But on this occasion, there was no particular feeling that Brazil were moving very much through anything. Switzerland were defensively disciplined, and following that wobbly five minutes around the hour mark they seemed to have Brazil fairly well under control. And if their ambitions were limited, well that’s hardly that surprising. After all, you could fit Switzerland inside Brazil more than 200 times. They have a substantially more limited pool of players from which to choose.
