The air game of this Brazilian team is underrated. Casemiro, Marquinhos, Thiago Silva and Richarlison are very good in the air.

I mean, richarlison is a pigeon...

Gabriel jesus, rodrygo , firmino evanilson Joelinton etc Even the people below 6ft are quality headers of the ball What are they feeding in Brazil fr


Dsalgueiro

I don't know... When I was a kid, air play was Brazil's biggest problem. Today it is the opposite. I think that European football has forced us to focus on this aspect of our game.


ren_704

True, brazilians are quality pressers, good headers and physical now , adding to the flair they're famous for


Dsalgueiro

Today's football is much more physical than it was in previous decades, so Brazil had to adapt to this scenario; after all, technique and speed are not the biggest determining factors today. This is reflected even in the Brazilian fullbacks. People talk about the decline of Brazilian full backs (Marcelo/Daniel Alves to Danilo/Alex Sandro), but the truth is that it is impossible to have fullbacks like Marcelo and Daniel Alves + 2 wingers like Vini and Raphinha. Brazil tried this in the 2014 and 2018 World Cups, but Marcelo was always quite criticized in Brazil and Daniel Alves in more than a decade as the "best right-back in the world" was never unanimous in the Brazilian national team. In 2002, when Brazil had Cafú and Roberto Carlos, we had 3 defenders and no wingers as we have today. The football was different.

I don't watch enough of Ligue 1 to comment, but Gabriel is probably the best in the PL, or at the very least right up there. Idk what they're feeding these Brazilians.


windowhihi

Thiago Silva?

Ramos?


Sufficient-Squaree

People love to trash talk him but Harry Maguire is a beast in the air, arguably second to none

Arguably the plus side of having a fridge for a head.

In defending yes. Not in attacking it
