2.靠这样的防守，巴西能获胜吗？

2. Can Brazil prevail with this defence?

这是一个大家都会问的问题。当阿尔维斯被搁置在前场活动，奥利奇左路带球传中，马塞洛乌龙，克罗地亚首开记录。

当大卫·路易斯无法接近耶拉维奇，当蒂亚戈·席尔瓦成为这脆弱的四个后卫中唯一一个真正的后卫，这是斯科拉里在下一场面对墨西哥前，需要好好考虑的。这场比赛丹特做了替补，下一场斯科拉里可能会在战术调整上做出点改变。

或许，他将会坚持自己的想法，直到比赛让他心有余悸？所以，巴西能够凭借如此后防赢得此次世界杯冠军吗？可能会吧， 但道路可能会有点崎岖，有点让人伤脑筋。

It is a legitimate question when Dani Alves was left stranded upfield as Ivica Olic raced down the left to create Croatia’s goal; when David Luiz failed to get close enough to Nikica Jelavic on the resulting cross, and when Thiago Silva is effectively the only true defender in that vulnerable back four. It is something for Luiz Felipe Scolari to think about before facing Mexico. With Dante in reserve, might he think about a change? Or will he persist with a unit that must give him palpitations? So can Brazil win the World Cup with this rearguard? Yes, they probably can. But the ride might be bumpy, a little nerve-racking.
