Brito Backs Cape Verde to Shock Argentina
Pedro Leitao Brito insists his side is ready to cause a seismic shock against the world champions.
Pedro Leitao Brito is not bringing a participation trophy to the 2026 World Cup. The Cape Verde head coach has explicitly stated his team intends to trouble Argentina, dismissing the notion that the reigning champions are untouchable. This is not standard underdog platitude; it is a calculated assertion of belief.
Brito is framing the Blue Sharks as disruptors capable of exploiting the tactical rigidity of elite opposition. While Argentina boasts the best player in history and a deep roster, Cape Verde relies on a growing tactical maturity that has seen them climb the African ranks. The coach is banking on the chaos of a World Cup environment to level the playing field.
