There's no chance Tite or any of his players will forget the score of Brazil's humiliating semifinal loss at the last World Cup.
Supporters of the Selecao still ensure it echoes in their ears: 7-1.
As high-profile Brazil players walked off the pitch following a recent training session at
Teresopolis, a few dozen disgruntled fans chanted "7-1."
"But Tite and Neymar give us hope again. In 2014 we didn't have our best in the World Cup. Now players will fight for positions - the mindset has changed."
"But now we have a chance to turn the table, try again. And we have a big chance to end it in a better fashion."
Retiree Thomas Alves hasn't given up, recently heading to a Rio de Janeiro shopping mall to buy a new TV "because I watched the 7-1 in the one I have now."
