A slim chance of defeating Brazil?

◀ Anchor ▶

The next opponent of our football team, who created the miracle of Doha, is the strongest in the world, Brazil.

Although the emergence of ace Neymar is unclear, both the offense and the defense are talented players that it is difficult to find gaps.

Still, our players burn with fighting spirit.

FIFA Ranking No. 1 Brazil, who confirmed the round of 16 early, went to Cameroon without many starting players.

They shot at the opponent’s goal throughout the game, but lost the game by conceding the winning goal in extra time in the second half.

However, Brazil’s appearance in the round of 16 is expected to be completely different.

“We have to focus on the next game because it won’t be easy and we have to win it.”

Although the appearance of ace Neymar, who injured his ankle in the game against Serbia, is still uncertain, it is evaluated as the best attacking team in the world with only Hischarlichon in front, Vinicius and Rafinha the two wings.

The defense, which did not allow a single effective shot in two consecutive games in the group stage, is also an irreparable wall.

The Korean national football team met Brazil twice under Bento’s coaching system and lost 0-3 and 1-5, and the previous record is also inferior to 1 win and 6 losses.

Opta, a sports data company, pegged Korea’s chances of advancing to the quarter-finals at 14%, and Grace Note at 23%.

Here, the frequent upsets in this tournament become a vaccination for Brazil.

“Brazil lost to Cameroon, Portugal lost to South Korea, France lost to Tunisia. These situations are very difficult.”

However, the problem with the Brazilian national team is that there are so many injuries that they are still thinking about the last starting line.

Our players, who have miraculously overcome the ‘number of cases’, burn their fighting spirit.

“Nobody knows the football results. That’s why I hope we can prepare well for a few days and do our best to show another good game…”

The match between Korea and Brazil, who are competing for tickets to the quarter-finals, will be held at Stadium 974 in Qatar at 4:00am on the 6th.
