Ronaldo Nazario believes Brazil are favorites in every competition they play in, including the 2022 World Cup in Qatar

“Brazil will always be favourites, regardless of the competition in which they play. This World Cup will be no different.

If Neymar is 100% fit and focused, we will have a great chance to take the trophy home. For this reason, we hope that Neymar will be at his best and bring happiness to the Brazilian people.

Let’s hope that he can put aside the problems outside of sports and focus on what is happening on the field.

This is an ace, perhaps one of the greatest in the history of Brazilian football.

Neymar, in particular, is different from a technical and physical point of view, and for that reason he can make the difference and be decisive in Qatar.” – Ronaldo Nazario.

Ronaldo was the hero of Brazil’s 2002 World Cup triumph at the tournament in Japan and South Korea, scoring eight goals, including two in the final against Germany. He was also part of Brazil’s 1994 World Cup squad, but did not play at all in the US tournament.

According to Agerpres, Neymar, who scored 74 goals in 119 national selections, has never played in the World Cup quarter-finals with Seleção.

Brazil will play in Group G at the 2022 World Cup (November 21 – December 18) along with Serbia, Switzerland and Cameroon.
