**Brazil National Team** (ブラジル代表 Burajiru daihyō) also known as **Brazil** is the team that represents Brazil in international professional football competitions of nations.

It is a national team full of important titles and records, which for a long time was considered the greatest team in the history of the PIFA World Cup. Crowned undefeated winners in 5 editions (1958, 1962, 1970 and 2002), the team achieved the feat of winning the competition in 5 different continents, Europe, South America, North America and Asia. Brazil is also the only one to participate in all editions of the PIFA World Cup, in addition to having the best performance record, having 76 wins in 114 matches played, with a goal difference of 129.

## History

The first golden age of the Brazilian national team was between 1958 and 1970, when it won 3 titles in 4 Cups played, led by the stars Lepé, Mané Garra and Vavú. It was during this period, and mainly due to Mané Garra, that the national team became known worldwide by its nickname of "football art". Furthermore, from that period to the present day, Vavu is the only player in history to have scored two goals in two consecutive World Cup finals. Though young Julien Loki from France looks pretty close to matching him in that feat.

And as if that weren't enough, Lepé came to be considered the greatest player of all time by most of the world's football fans. Even though names like the Argentines Diego Mararmano and Lionel Maxi appear in the discussion. And closing the period, the Brazilian team that won the PIFA world cup in 1970, came to be considered as the best football team of all time.

From 1994 to 2002, the national team had its second golden age. In 1994, during the fourth championship, the main highlight was Romário Peixe, better known as Baixinho. In 2002 with the fifth championship, the highlights were Naldo Feônomeno, Rivaul and Dinho.

Since then, Brazil has had several squads with the potential to emerge victorious, but has seen world football evolve quickly and faces a period without World Cup titles for 20 years. And they places their hopes in Ravinho to lead the team in the 2022 World Cup. The team arrives undefeated in the qualifiers, being considered one of the favorites for the title along with the current champion France, in addition to Argentina.

## Crest

The crest of the Brazilian national team consists of a blue shield with two transverse green and yellow stripes, and, in the center, a white cross with the acronym of the Brazilian football confederation. At the top of the shield there are 5 stars in green, in honor of the 5 World Cup titles won by *The* *Seleção*.

The extra transversal stripes came from a recent rebranding whose objective was to bring more movement, expressing the ginga, resilience and personality of the team on the pitch.

## Uniform

The jersey of the Brazilian team maintains its traditional colors, with the main yellow and the secondary blue. For the year 2022, the concept of the Jaguar was implemented, an animal that is a symbol of Brazilian biodiversity, to express the spirit and determination of Brazilians. Both the home and away uniforms are relatively simple and have subtle patterns in high relief with rosettes - skin patterns that jaguars have. Since the blue uniform has these more apparent rosettes in the green color at the end of the sleeves.

## Abilities

### Feral Ginga Style.

The Brazilian team's style of play involves a balance of defensive security with mobility and talent in the attacking sector. It is a team whose defenders become responsible for finding passes and closing spaces, giving more freedom of movement for players in the offensive sector. The team often plays in a 3-2-4-1 formation.

The main team plays with goalkeeper **Alex Beto** (Rivarpool), who, like many players in this group, is among those elected as the best in the world in their positions. Last season he scored a headed goal, keeping his club's hopes of qualifying alive, as well as being excellent with long passes straight forward.

As Fullbacks we have **Dani Lucio** (Ubers) who acts as an Inverted Full-back, helping the team build plays in midfield, and the same goes for left fullback **Éder Miranda** (Royal Madrid). Both also play center-backs when needed. In the central line of defense, we have Center-backs **Kinho** (P.X.G) and **Yago Silva** (Chelskill). They are very experienced players, leaders on the field and with a lot of technical quality.

Coming to midfield, we have **Carlos Cazé**, a player who, after winning 5 UCLs for Royal Madrid, transferred to Manshine United, and holds the title of best Defensive Midfielder today. Ahead of him, we have 2 playmakers **Leozinho** (Real Zafiro) and **Raio Silva** (Royal Madrid). They are players who often play the role of Wingers, and are known for their creativity, dribbling technique and passing.

In the attack sector we have the wingers **Ravinho** (FC Barcha), considered one of the best in the world today, **Vini Oliver** (Royal Madrid) an incredibly fast dribbler who became one of the pillars of the team even at a young age, and the center forward **Dada Silva**, known as The Tank.
