Part 4/8:
The midfield selection included players like André, Bruno Guimarães, and Paquetá, who are all part of Premier League teams, yet their clubs find themselves in the lower half of the standings. Although these players possess talent, there is a palpable absence of influence on the pitch, as they compete mostly in relegation battles. This situation starkly contrasts with the qualities required for a national team setup, which should ideally consist of players competing for titles, not merely survival.
