[Asia Economy Reporter Bora Lee] The eternal World Cup favorite, the Brazil national football team, has shown exceptional confidence. According to the Associated Press, at a press conference held on the 21st (local time) in Doha, Qatar, Brazil's forward Raphinha (Barcelona) expressed confidence in winning the championship.

At the press conference in Doha, Qatar, Raphinha revealed, "To be honest, I have prepared enough (celebration) dances as if I could score 10 goals." He added, "I have prepared 10 different dances for each game. This one is for the first goal, the next for the second goal, and this dance is for the third goal," and said, "If I score more than 10 goals, then I will have to create a new dance."

The reason Raphinha mentioned dance celebrations is because his teammate Vin?cius J?nior (Real Madrid) faced racial discrimination after dancing. Vin?cius had previously danced after scoring goals in the Spanish La Liga alongside his teammate and clubmate Rodrygo, but was criticized for allegedly disrespecting opponents.

Ranked as a top contender even before the tournament began, Brazil boasts a powerful attacking lineup befitting their FIFA world ranking of number one. Most of the players are starters in top European league teams, including the team's star Neymar (Paris Saint-Germain), Vin?cius J?nior (Real Madrid), and Gabriel Jesus (Arsenal).

Raphinha explained, "Vin?cius J?nior will bring speed to the attack, and thanks to Lucas Paquet? (West Ham), we will be able to control the midfield," adding, "In fact, Brazil always approaches games with an offensive mindset, no matter who plays."

South Korea's star Son Heung-min and his Tottenham teammate Richarlison said, "Wearing the number 9 jersey for the Brazil national team means focusing solely on scoring goals," and expressed confidence, "If I play alongside the current teammates, goals will naturally come."

Meanwhile, Brazil holds the record for the most World Cup titles with five, but their last victory was at the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup. With 20 years having passed, this World Cup is seen as the perfect opportunity for a win, drawing significant attention to the Brazil national team.
