Brazil boss Luiz Felipe Scolari believes the Seleção are on the right track ahead of the Confederations Cup and also says he is close to deciding his squad for the competition.
The former Palmeiras boss told reporters that he was close to deciding his squad for the upcoming event and says there are only a few final decisions left to make.
“The team is on the right track,” Scolari said. “We have a base, a style of play. We only need to make some final decisions, analyze some alternatives.”
Looking ahead to the 2014 World Cup, Scolari said he was wary of the likes Germany, Italy and Argentina who are set to be Brazil’s main threats.
“Those three, plus Spain, will make it to the final eight,” the 64-year-old former Portugal and Chelsea coach said.
Scolari also said that he thinks it would be beneficial for the national team if star player Neymar decides to leave for Europe.
“Neymar has been improving a lot in the past few years. He will be even better in two, three or five years from now,” the coach said. “If he decides to go, it would be great. It would be good for the national team. But he doesn’t need to go.”
