Former Al-Hilal and Al-Shabab midfielder Marcelo Camacho has affirmed that Brazil possess the necessary attributes to overcome Norway in the 2026 World Cup Round of 16, emphasizing that Erling Haaland's danger will not be the sole decisive factor. He also praised the significant development of the Saudi league, stating it has become one of the strongest outside Europe. Camacho told 'Al-Riyadiya': 'Norway is a very organized team, with great physical strength and high quality in offensive transitions, and Haaland is one of the best strikers in the world, so Brazil must work collectively to reduce spaces in front of him and prevent him from reaching dangerous chances. But the match will not be decided by stopping Haaland alone; Brazil must impose its style, control possession, and manage the tempo of the game, with effectiveness in defense and attack. If they play with balance and discipline, they will be able to qualify.' Regarding the boom of the Saudi league, he said: 'What has happened in the Saudi league in recent years is admirable. Investments in infrastructure, player development, and signing global stars have clearly raised the level of competition. Based on my experience in Saudi Arabia, I am happy to see this development, and I believe it has become one of the strongest leagues outside Europe, and it will continue to grow in the future.' He added: 'Attracting world-class players has positively impacted competition, and also given Saudi players a daily opportunity to learn from elite professionals, which accelerates their development, raises their ambitions, and qualifies them to compete at the highest levels.' Camacho tipped Brazil to compete for the World Cup title, explaining: 'Brazil has the talent, history, and quality to win the World Cup, but knockout matches require mental stability and consistency in performance. There are also strong teams like France, Spain, and Argentina, but if Brazil maintains its identity and plays with confidence and team spirit, I believe its chances of reclaiming the title are great.'
