This Monday, November 5, The Brazilian team faces the round of 16 of Qatar 2022 in an emergency situation, with two players injured, two complicated and one in the recovery phase, a situation that is far from ideal to clash with the South Korean cadre wrestler.
The “Tigres de Oriente” left Uruguay out at the last minute and achieved one of their most prestigious victories against Portugalwarning signs for a “Canarinha” who has lost the aura of invincibility with his defeat in the last group date. A denominator in the Asian games is that his best game came when he was at a disadvantage.
Tite took advantage of the fact that they were already classified before playing with Cameroon to rotate most of the starting eleven. He made nine changes, but will resume the star contingent in the second phase. The great novelty will be the return of Neymar, at least as summoned. The “10” added two training sessions after overcoming his ankle injury suffered in his World Cup debut.
The problems for Brazil come on the sides, since the only one who is without problems is Dani Alves. Alex Telles will miss the remainder of the tournament and Alex Sandro is touched. In this situation, Tite will have to use Éder Militao on the right wing and put Danilo with a changed profile.
Entrusted to the quality of Son Heung-min, along with the finishing and aerial power of Cho Gue-sun, South Korea faces the round of 16 best for the third time in its history. They did it at home in 2002, when they climbed to the semifinals and finished fourth. They also reached the “fifth game” in 2010, when they lost to Uruguay.
Brazil arrives as the great favorite by names and history. In June, both teams met in a friendly that ended 1-5 for the South Americans in Seoul, with a brace from Neymar. In history, Brazil has never lost to an Asian team in a World Cup.
It is expected that the “Yellow green” start with Alisson; Éder Militao, Thiago Silva, Marquinhos, Danilo; Fred, Casemiro, Neymar (Lucas Paquetá); Vinicius, Richarlison and Raphinha.
Meanwhile, the South Korean probable 11 will have Seung-gyu; Moon-hwan Kim, Min-jae, Young-gwon Kim, Jin-su Kim; In-beom Hwang, Woo-young Jung; Hee-chan, Kang-in Lee, Son y Cho.
You can follow the game, which starts at 4:00 p.m. in Chile (19:00 GMT) at the AlAireLibre.cl Virtual Scoreboard and the radio broadcast of Al Aire Libre in Cooperativa.
