Brazil are probably the best squad in this FIFA World Cup. They have tons of stars in the roster, but only 11 can make it to the starting 11 while the others wait for an opportunity to play coming from the bench.
In the Round of 16, Brazil won’t have an easy test. The Asian squad is very strong and fast, so that’s why Tite decided to put the best players he has available, but benched Rodrygo and here’s the reason why.

All of the 26 Brazilians in Qatar 2022 could definitely starters for Tite, but he has to select the best 11 for each match. In the bench, great stars wait for an opportunity to have some minutes and Rodrygo is one of them.
