Brazil as solid as ever - Tite's Selecao have an amazing defensive record
Since the coach's June 2016 arrival, he has seen his side concede just five goals and keep 15 clean sheets in 20 matches
A resurgent Brazil will arrive in Russia this month as one of the standout candidates to claim the World Cup.
And much of their revival under coach Tite has been down to their rock-solid defence – a staple of Brazilian football history despite the stereotypes that still persist around the Selecao.
Alisson, for example, now rated by most as among the world’s outstanding goalkeepers, has conceded just three goals in 16 games under the current coach.
