Brazil’s Tite faces judgment day as stars return against South Korea
But the Brazil coach, Tite, insists he did the right thing and, never mind Lusail, it is the 974 Stadium that should provide the proof. If judgment was to be reserved then, now it will be real as the seleção meet South Korea in the last 16. Not one Brazil player has started all three matches and it is possible that of the starting XI against Cameroon only Éder Militão and Fred will line up against South Korea.
