Only in 2002 did the Brazilian team have no losses due to physical problems
The euphoria for the convincing victory of Brazil against Serbia, for 2 to 0, at the debut of world Cupturned into uncertainty after The injuries of Neymar and Danilo🇧🇷 Both will miss Brazil in the next two games, against Switzerland and Cameroon. The hope is that the players will return from the round of 16 onwards, but if that doesn’t happen, the Brazilian fans will still have reasons to keep faith in the sixth.
Of Brazil’s five world titles, only in 2002 did the Brazilian national team have no injury-related World Cup absences. However, it is worth mentioning that Emerson cut himself the day before his World Cup debut, against Turkey, in South Korea, due to a dislocated right shoulder. The steering wheel was the team captain.
In the fourth championship in 1994, defender Ricardo Rocha was the holder of the Brazilian national team, but lost his position due to a muscle injury. The injury occurred in the first match, a 2-0 win over Russia, which took him out of the squad. Aldair was the substitute and one of the highlights of that result. Jorginho was also injured, but it was in the first half of the decider against Italy. Cafu took his place.
In 1970, at the World Cup in Mexico, Gérson was absent in the last two matches of the group stage, victories over England and Romania, because he was physically ill. Rivellino was also ruled out against the Romanian side, but returned to Canhotinha de Ouro’s squad in the quarter-final against Peru. Everyone already knows the end, Brazil was champion over Italy by winning 4 to 1, one of the goals scored by Gérson.
Already in 1962, at the World Cup in Chile, the most remembered embezzlement. Pelé injured the adductor of his left thigh, precisely in the second round of the World Cup, a 0-0 draw against Czechoslovakia. Amarildo, the “Possession”, scored three goals and helped Garrincha mitigate the King’s foul on the pitch.
Pelé was also absent in the first two rounds of the 1958 World Cup. The striker was injured against Corinthians, in the last friendly of the selection in the country, before leaving for Europe for the World Cup in Sweden.
These examples help to regain the fans’ confidence that the title can be won by embezzlement, even if it is the main player of the Brazilian national team.
