The Brazilian national team, eliminated by Croatia in the World Cup on Friday in the quarter-finals, left the Westin Doha Hotel in Qatar today in total solitude and absolute silence, without the fans greeting the team.
In this context, part of the delegation left the hotel in two buses at 5:52 in Argentina (11:52 local time) for Doha airport, where a charter flight was waiting for them, departing at 6:50 for London, and then continued on to Brazil, as reported by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) and AFP news agency.
The team’s farewell was a far cry from the warm welcome he received from hundreds of fans when he arrived in Doha on 19 November.
The team led by coach Tite, who resigned after losing on penalties to the Croatians, was followed only by a group of journalists from his country.
Footballers who play in Europe remained in London, although some players like goalkeeper Alisson Becker and forward Vinicius Júnior dropped out of focus on Friday night, hours after the Croatians beat them on penalties after drawing 1-1 after the 90 minutes and the 30 extension .
It’s the end of the cycle for coach Tite, as he announced a year and a half ago and ratified after the match against Croatia in the press room, after a second consecutive World Cup for the coach without reaching the semifinals.
The team had raised a lot of expectations for its play and results in the first stage and round of 16 against South Korea and was on the verge of moving to that instance due to a late goal from Bruno Petkovic and the bigger Croatian success in the penalty kick.
The Brazilian team will have to wait another four years to resume the search for the ‘hexa’, even if now the question, which he himself has opened to informants, is whether Neymar, its great star, will play in a World Cup again.
The Canarinha expedition, who worked at the Grand Hamad Stadium in these World Cups, where Al Arabi usually plays, will stop in London to continue towards their own country.
