hi steemian today i want to share the information i get on internet and want to publish in steemit about the information about the world cup in russia along with the information i have got and i share it to you all in steemit.
Russia - Brazil's hard victory over Mexico in the last 16 of the World Cup is the kind of victory that changes teams who think they can win the tournament into one who knows they can, one of the last Brazilians to lift the trophy told Reuters.
Every side going on to become world champions has a 'Eureka' moment, Juninho Paulista, a former Middlesbrough midfielder and Atletico Madrid who took home a victory medal in 2002, said that.
It may come from behind the victory, an unexpected victory over a seeded team, or even luck, shots that hit the post and go into the goal rather than out for a goal kick.
"The Brazilian moment in Russia has passed the initial storm of Mexico and returned to win the game," said Juninho.
"The team is struggling a bit, they did not expect to pull the first game," he said in an interview. "Then they got it together and they got two wins, and then against Mexico, it's the knockout round, you can not lose, the worry is on your mind, and Brazil gets through it, they pass the emotional exam.
"Brazil are very strong mentally, they suffered the first 20 minutes but after that they 'made up' myself I think Brazil are now going to the (quarterfinal) game against Belgium with greater confidence They are now more confident in themselves , even if they realize they are facing a team that will be harder to beat than Mexico. "
"They know they are good players," he added. "They have not played on top of 'teeth', they are technically solid, I think now they are strong emotionally."
FAVORITE
Brazil are the only team that won the World Cup five times and with Germany, Spain and Argentina already out, they are favorites to be six in Moscow on July 15.
After a difficult 1-1 draw with Switzerland in their opening match, Brazil won their next two group games 2-0 against Costa Rica and Serbia before beating Mexico by the same score in the last 16.
They now face Belgium, the tournament's top scorer, in the quarter-finals in Kazan on Friday (6/7/2018).
Juninho said the 'Eureka' game for the 2002 team came against Belgium in the last 16 in Japan.
Team Marc Wilmots scored but was denied so that the score 0-0 and Belgium never recovered. Rivaldo and Ronaldo each scored in the second half to give Brazil a win and put them on their way to victory.
"There was an incident when Belgium scored and the referee brushed it off and that could make things complicated for us," Juninho recalls.
"So we struggled a bit and when we won, we thought, 'we got through that, we passed the test.' That reinforces the feeling in the squad."
