The Brazil camp's team spirit has been at an all-time high in Qatar. The South American giants are angling to win their first World Cup trophy since 2002.

The Selecao have been near perfect in Qatar with only a minor blip against Cameroon with a hugely reshuffled squad.

They put four past South Korea in a blistering first half of football in the round of 16. The game marked the return of talisman Neymar who picked up an ankle injury after the first group game against Serbia.

Brazil training session

Ahead of the Croatia tie, Neymar and Vinicius Junior were spotted having a light moment at a training session at the Arabi SC Stadium in Doha.

In the video spotted by Sports Brief, the team appeared to be playing a round of rondo. Vinicius then attempts to take the ball away from Neymar but the Paris Saint-Germain star pulls out one of his many tricks and rolls the ball away from him.

The rest of the teammates see the funny side and laugh at Vinicius as he 'confronts' Neymar. Both Vinicius and Neymar were on target against South Korea and would be expected to be in the starting XI at the Education City Stadium when they face Luka Modric's side.

Neymar pulls off rare Messi skill

Sports Brief had earlier reported that Paris Saint-Germain ace Neymar Jr was the man of the moment during Brazil's World Cup last-16 clash against South Korea on Monday night, December 5.

The star forward played a central role in his team's 4-1 win during the tie to book a spot in the tournament's quarterfinals.

Neymar ultimately stole the show as hawk-eyed fans spotted him pull off a rare Lionel Messi skill at one point in the match.

Why Neymar changed hairstyle

Sports Brief has also reported how many football players are very superstitious, and Brazil's Neymar is no different.

The attacker is so superstitious that he even flew in his hairdresser from Paris, to give him a new haircut before the fixture against South Korea.

Neymar flew in his hairdresser, Nariko, to Doha to give him a new blonde look for the game against South Korea. The Brazilian attacker scored twice against the Asian side in a previous fixture while his hair was blonde.
