The CBF's technical and medical staff strive to prepare the players for the Copa America; striker Neymar Jr., struggles under the weight of problems on and off the pitch; a critical press and fan base doubt the team has what it takes to win.

After losing Neymar Jr. to injury, people wonder how the team will cope; Chelsea forward Willian is called up to fill the gap, but a São Paulo crowd boos the team; the team heads to Bahia, the country's spiritual heartland, to play against Venezuela.

The team remains focused ahead of a must-win final group game against Peru; after a missed penalty kick, Gabriel Jesus faces a penalty shoot-out against Paraguay in the quarter-finals during which he must tackle his demons and take the decisive kick.

Surviving a climate of negativity and a tight quarter-final win has toughened the team and brought them together; now, they must defeat their oldest rival if they want to reach the Copa America final, in an exciting match in Minas Gerais.

The team has finally found its identity, and it is now ready for victory on the biggest stage of all; Brazilian fans remain skeptical; Brazil heads to football's biggest temple, the Maracanã stadium, to face a reinvigorated Peru in the final.
