In the 2002 qualifiers, Argentina led by Marcelo Bielsa scored 43 points, the highest number so far in the qualifiers. Tite’s Brasil has 42 points and can tie the score if they tie in a high or pass if they win (may be up to 45). There is still the last match, specifically against Argentina, which the Anfisa match stopped last year.

– The important thing is the work, the reinforcement … Bielsa is a man I respect a lot, with whom Argentina put in a great campaign and went out in the first stage – Tite commented, perplexing Heinz’s penalty, which was actually Pochettino, the current PSG coach, in the match against England. . – More than that (the records), what matters is the construction, this unification of the work, is what pleases me the most.

Close to the top of the FIFA rankings

Brazil’s Tite could also return to the top flight of the FIFA rankings for the first time since 2017, something that should change a bit regarding the World Cup draw, scheduled for April 1 in Doha, Qatar – Tite, his assistant Kleber Xavier, travels The selection coordinator, Juninho Puestas and other staff members fly to Qatar after returning from Bolivia on a charter flight.

Being first in the ranking makes sense, yes. But for me, in particular, (the important thing) is to see the team again playing very well, once again managing to overcome these adversities strategically, representing football with technical quality and possession of the ball. Of course, you will not be able to set the same cadence, that speed that we use in games at home or in normal conditions there (in Bolivia), because it is not possible. Having the ball and being aggressive in the final third and seeing this team play and overcome these adversities is a great pleasure. It is another stage of unification and evolution. He was fascinated by me. At the same time comes the recognition of being first in the standings – commented the Brazilian coach.
