The new generation of talent includes Real Madrid Champions League standouts Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo, Barcelona marquee signing Raphinha, Tottenham Hotspur's new striker Richarlison, Newcastle United's all-purpose midfielder Bruno Guimaraes, Ajax Amsterdam's electrifying winger Antony and Atletico Madrid's relentless forward Matheus Cunha among others.
"The other day Neymar looked at me and said: 'Coach, these kids that are coming, it's just nuts ... what a good headache to have trying to put them all on the field.' He laughed." With squads up to 26 players and five substitutes allowed at the World Cup in Qatar working in his favour, Tite wants to make sure his team have fresh legs and are more unpredictable.
"Neymar was often double-teamed. Now if you do that you will open up space for other players that can be as decisive and important to our team. We are in a good place right now."After his side were knocked out of the 2018 World Cup by Belgium in a heartbreaking 2-1 loss in the quarter-finals, Tite will be the first manager to coach Brazil in two consecutive tournaments since Tele Santana in 1982 and 1986.
He added that the pressure will be the same as in Russia but sees the new generation of players coming through coping very well with the responsibility of wearing Brazil's colours.
