Tite News
Know here all the details related to the livestreaming of FIFA World Cup 2022 Round of 16 match between Neymar’s Brazil vs South Korea.
There were also eight defenders and six midfielders, not including 2018 World Cup player Philippe Coutinho, who suffered a quadricep injury in training with Aston Villa at the weekend in the Brazil squad for FIFA World Cup 2022.
Tite, whose customary calm barely masked what he called “a bitterness” over the reverse said it was too early to make a decision on his future.
“Randomness, accidents, they happen. And today they happened. It hurts to say that. That is not to undermine Belgium, who are a great team. But chance was cruel to us. It was so hard and it is very hard to accept.” Tite said
Tite said defender Joao Miranda will captain the squad in Wednesday's clash, during a press conference.
"It is possible that we started the match nervous ... but we played a beautiful second half," Tite said.
The phoney war is over and most of the big guns have arrived in Russia ahead of the start of the World Cup on Thursday. AFP Sport takes a look at how the favourites are shaping up.
Brazil coach Tite said he was surprised how well Neymar performed on his return from a three-month injury lay-off in Sunday`s 2-0 pre-World Cup friendly win over Croatia but said the forward required patience.

This is Brazil and Germany's first meeting at senior international level since the 7-1 rout.
Going into his first World Cup as Brazil coach, Tite is looking for some rhythm. It's the one thing, surprisingly, he thinks his team is short of. So Tite will use the upcoming friendlies against World Cup host Russia and defending champion Germany to find a proper No. 10, someone who can play at the heart of the midfield and keep his orchestra in sync.
Regulars Marquinhos, Miranda, Marcelo and Dani Alves were also spared the trip Down Under.
Brazil face a trip to winless Venezuela in their qualifier on Tuesday.
Brazil currently sit outside the CONMEBOL qualification positions after winning just two of their first six games in the World Cup 2018 qualifying competition.
Tite -- whose real name is Adenor Leonardo Bacchi -- had been widely touted as his successor after the CBF sacked Dunga and his entire staff on Tuesday, and Corinthians president Roberto de Andrade confirmed the move.
Dunga had an earlier stint managing Brazil from 2006 to 2010 and took over again from Luiz Felipe Scolari after the 2014 defeat.
