"Germany and Brazil are underestimated", says Curaçao coach about the World Cup

Dick Advocaat, coach of the Curaçao national team, declared that Germany and Brazil are being underestimated in the World Cup. The statement was made on the eve of his team's debut in the tournament, scheduled for this Sunday (14), against the Germans, at 2 pm.

Favorites for the title
When asked whether the German and Brazilian teams were being underestimated in the championship, Advocaat responded affirmatively. According to him, both teams have high-level squads in all positions and have good interaction on the field.

The coach highlighted that, despite the individual talent of the players, collective performance is crucial.

"They can all play, but not if they play as a national team," said Advocaat, highlighting that a good game plan is essential for success in the tournament.

Open dispute for the title
For Advocaat, the World Cup presents itself as an open and unpredictable dispute. He acknowledged that Germany, Curaçao's opponents in the group stage, is one of the favorites for the title, and that Brazil is also not far behind in this assessment.

The coach concluded that it will be interesting to follow who will become world champion, given the high level of the participating teams and the competitiveness of the competition.
