The World Cup record is worrying, Brazil loses two losses to Argentina, and four other teams including Uruguay sweep

The performance of the Brazilian national team in this year's World Cup qualifiers was surprising. On September 10, Brazil lost 0-1 to Bolivia. This loss is not an isolated case, but a microcosm of Brazil's sluggish performance in this World Cup qualifier. Looking at this event, Brazil only scored 28 points out of the 54 points it can win, with a scoring rate of only 51%. In the end, it only ranked fifth in South America, and may even face the threat of play-off qualification. This series of failures not only disappointed the fans, but also made the outside world begin to re-examine the strength and status of this former South American overlord.

Judging from the record, Brazil's performance in this World Cup qualifier in this year's World Cup is particularly sluggish. Brazil lost both games, and one of them was defeated 1-4, setting the worst record against Argentina in recent years. This result not only hurts the team's morale, but also makes the team lose the initiative in the standings. In addition to Argentina, Brazil also lost to Uruguay, Colombia, Paraguay and Bolivia respectively - the latter defeated Brazil in an official match for the first time in 16 years. These losses not only reflect Brazil's tactical execution issues in the game, but also expose the instability of the team's overall strength.

In fact, Brazil's problem is much more than losing. From a technical and tactical perspective, the main problems that Brazil showed in this World Cup include lack of offense efficiency, insufficient defense and a decline in overall psychological endurance. In the past decade, Brazil has been famous for its agile attack line and fast counterattacks, but in this game, the team frequently made low-level mistakes in handling key balls, and the core players failed to perform stably, resulting in the multiple offensive opportunities being wiped out. Especially when facing relatively weak teams such as Bolivia and Paraguay, Brazil still cannot win the game smoothly, which exposes the team's lack of tacit understanding and lack of on-the-spot adjustment ability.

On the defensive end, Brazil also had loopholes. Especially in the big score loss against Argentina, the team has been loose in key areas many times and is easily broken by the opponent. This not only reflects the players' lack of personal defensive ability, but also exposes the head coach's shortcomings in tactical arrangement and on-site command. Facing South American strong teams such as Uruguay and Colombia, Brazil's defense line is almost unable to withstand the opponent's high-intensity pressing, and frequently concedes the ball, which eventually leads to the widening of the score and falling behind in points.

psychological factors cannot be ignored. In this World Cup qualifier, Brazil has been reversed many times while leading or drawing, which is closely related to the players' psychological pressure-bearing ability. In modern football, psychological quality often determines the outcome of top teams in key games. When facing key games and adversity, young players of Brazil lack response strategies and calm mind, which makes the team appear impatient on the field, which in turn affects overall performance.

However, the loss of this World Cup qualifier does not mean the decline of Brazilian football. Instead, this setback provides the team with a clear path to reflection. First of all, the team needs to invest more energy in the selection and training of young players. In recent years, Brazilian football has remained ahead in the youth training system, but how to quickly integrate young talents into the national team and form a tactical system is a problem that the team urgently needs to solve. Secondly, the team needs to adjust their tactical style to adapt to the increasingly fierce competitive environment of South American games. The way of playing that relies too much on personal abilities and single-point breakthroughs is difficult to work in modern football for a long time. Brazil must strengthen the balance between teamwork, rapid counterattack and defensive counterattack.

Overall, this South American World Cup qualifier is a painful but necessary growth experience for the Brazilian team. The two losses to Argentina and the consecutive losses to Uruguay, Colombia, Paraguay and Bolivia are certainly disappointing, but they also make the team clearly aware of their own shortcomings. In the future, if the Brazilian team can make comprehensive adjustments in youth training, tactics, psychology and overall management, they still have the opportunity to return to the peak of South American football.

Conclusion: Although grades are important, the process is more worthy of attention. Brazil's defeat in this World Cup qualifier reminds us that even teams with brilliant history must always update their playing style, temper their players' psychology, and strengthen teamwork. Only by growing through reflection can Brazil once again write a brilliant chapter in South American arena and World Championships. Despite the heartbreaking defeats in the five games, Brazil's football future is still hopeful.
