Is Brazil a great team or does it depend purely on Neymar?

During the qualifying rounds for the Qatar 2022 World Cup, Brazil showed a sharpening of its dependence on Neymar, something that was already evident in the last couple of years and that, in practice, is turning it into a one-man team.

In his multiplication process, Neymar performed his usual forward functions, but he also donned the organizer's shirt and even the ball retriever. The captain of Brazil, more leader than ever, not only played Ronaldo, Pelé or Zico, roles that he had already played on other occasions, he also became a kind of Falco and even a Dunga.

It is a fact that since he put on the captain's armband of the Brazil National Team, Neymar has assumed a leadership position that he had not exercised in such a clear way at the World Cup. Neymar's hierarchy is indisputable and has the advantage that his resume does not present major defeats.

However, and despite the fact that Lucas Paquetá scored the goal today, Brazil will have to stop depending on him if they want to go far. If not, you will be on the road quickly, as has happened in the last major competitions.
