Defender's goal saves Brazil from defeat
A defender's goal saves Brazil, in a weak match for the Brazilian team, in the end Marquinhos' goal saved the night. The number of passing errors greatly damaged the Brazilian team's night against the Peru team.
The players were having a terrible night, little approach, they seemed to not understand Fernando Diniz's style of play. The Peru team seemed happy with the draw, with a lot of catimba.
Weak football, with few chances, despite the two goals that were well disallowed by VAR, even though it took forever for the decision to be made. Peru's goalkeeper did little work.
However, in the end the defender's goal saved Brazil from a draw that would cost them the lead in the qualifiers. See who did well and who did poorly in Brazil's 1-0 victory against Peru.
Brazilian sides our biggest need
At first, Brazil had great sides in its history, if we look back a few decades we will remember great names, such as Cafú and Roberto Carlos.
Of course, other great names will be remembered, Leonardo, Jorginho, Nilton Santos and other legends. However, this is a position that is lacking in our football.
And it's not difficult to notice this lack, seeing Danilo and Renan Lodi is sad to see, full-backs who only play backwards, who don't know how to support, even against a team like Peru.
There is a lack of movement, support, crosses, we see at the end the move that generated the corner that ended up giving rise to Marquinhos' goal. When Martinelli makes the move to receive Neymar's pass, the corner appears.
During the game, the full-backs did not pass, and the few times Lodi reached the baseline, he missed the cross. Sad to see full-backs with little or no ability to occupy this position.
Looking at other players in the same position, we will see that we face a bad “crop” of full-backs, we need to see where we went wrong at the base. Or if there are good players who are not yet on the coach's radar.
Midfielder missing a lot of passes
Firstly, we need to understand that Fernando Diniz brought a completely different game plan to what players are used to playing. We noticed the charm of some athletes in their interviews.
Neymar and other athletes highlighted that in Europe the game is very positional, and that Fernando Diniz presented something new for all of them. The question that remains is whether the coach will have enough time to implement his game in the national team.
What we saw yesterday was a team that was very spaced out, the midfield was very distant, Casemiro missed a lot of passes, as did Bruno Guimarães. The loss of the ball was sad to see, the Peru team took a little forward marking and caused a lot of problems.

Our environment did not create it, it seemed lost, faced with a new game proposal. The one who tried most to create something was Neymar, even though he was having a bad day. Even Brazil's main player missed passes that hadn't been seen in a long time.
Of course, there is still a lack of rapport and understanding of Fernando Diniz's proposal, but this midfield needs to improve a lot. We can believe that players were having an uninspired day, or worry about this new game system.
Who saved the night? Defender's goal saves Brazil
Finally, defender Marquinhos was the Brazilian hero, during the match the defender scored well, but contributed little to the ball.
Both Marquinhos and Gabriel Magalhães barely played forward, the excess of lateral passes was quite annoying.

However, it was thanks to a perfect kick from Neymar in the corner and a header from Marquinhos that Brazil managed to win. When everyone thought the game would end in a draw, Marquinhos saved the night.
Now it's time to take advantage of the break in the qualifiers, and hope that the system fits in soon, after all, more difficult games will come.
