Neymar - Brazil's Silver Lining After Copa América

Brazil managed only one win in four games in the U.S., indicating a tough phase. Dorival Júnior's young attack strategy seemed to fall short, making Neymar's absence felt more heavily. Neymar's ongoing recovery from his injury last October makes his return on the pitch highly anticipated. Previously, Neymar demonstrated capability in setting up plays and scoring goals. But, his role may shift towards being a deeper-lying creator, considering the development of younger players like Vinícius Júnior. 

Issues faced by the team in advancing the ball out of defense pose a significant challenge, and Casemiro's absence might have affected the team's stability.  The inability of Bruno Guimarães and others to dominate the midfield also adds to the problems. Amidst these problems, coach Dorival's performance has also been a matter of concern, as he was expected to provide a strategic plan, selection, and set the emotional tone for the team. Neymar's presence could potentially provide the boost the Brazilian team needs to bounce back.
