Brazil don't need Neymar magic to win, says manager Tite

Neymar underlined his importance to Tite's side by netting the 72nd and 73rd goals of his Brazil career in a 5-1 friendly thrashing of South Korea in Seoul last week. That took him within striking distance of the legendary Pele's record of 77 goals for the five-time World Cup winners. Tite played down Brazil's dependence on Neymar as his team prepared to face Japan in a friendly in Tokyo on Monday, saying a new generation of players are ready to share the load.
