Thiago Silva may win the tournament
He and Arias are 2 world class players that smaller clubs usually don't have.
I believe we have a shot of at least making the final as long as both are healthy.
It's still unreal to me that we've been able to hold Arias since 2021 because Europe must just not respect his game. I'm sure they're all on notice after this tournament
Coaching def gave Fluzao a massive edge against Inter. Chivu might be good but Renato is one of the best in Brazil imo.
Fluzao were able to contain Inter's width/long ball all but 2-3 times. Middle completely shut down. Only after 80-85ish did Inter really threaten once they attacked with 10, but it didn't take long to concede the 2nd once they were forced.
Inzaghi is on another level though. No coaching advantage against Al Hilal, so the players CANNOT commit mistakes playing out because that's where the top clubs usually abuse the smaller ones. The rest is usually just possession and we know "possession means NOTHING" - Renato Gaucho
