The Brazilian team is back in action for the South American World Cup. From 9:30 p.m. (Time of Brasilia) on Thursday (12), the team commanded by coach Fernando Diniz measures forces with Venezuela in Arena Pantanal, in Cuiabá, for the 3rd round of the competition.
After winning its first two commitments in the tournament (by 5 to 1 over Bolivia and by 1 to 0 before Peru), Brazil aims to add points that allow it to remain at the top of the ranking, which at the moment divides with Argentina (each with six points).
With a renewed squad with young and promising players like Rodrygo, Bruno Guimarães (Idol of Athletico and who should be a holder today) and Vinícius Júnior, the team canarinho has everything to rank without fright for the next Cup.
Even with little working time ahead of the Brazilian team, coach Fernando Diniz said, in a collective granted last Wednesday (11), who can already see his face in the selection: "In the main sense that it's my face, I think it does. In the first two games, he was committed and supportive. More than anything tactical, you have to be supportive, play along, mark together".
For this match the coach will be forced to do something that does not please him, change parts of the team. Since he will not be able to count on the side Renan Lodi and the attacker Rafhinha, cut by injury, he will give the starting team opportunities to Guilherme Arana and Vinícius Júnior. With this, Brazil should go to the field with: Éderson; Danilo, Marquinhos, Gabriel Magalhães and Guilherme Arana; Casemiro and Bruno Guimarães; Neymar, Vinícius Júnior, Rodrygo and Richarlison.
Venezuela seeks to surprise and come out with a positive result from Cuiabá. With three points on the table (conquered over Paraguay in the second round), the Venezuelan team dreams of a victory over the Brazilian team.
To try to reach the triumph, Venezuela relies too much on well-known Brazilian football athletes: Soteldo and Rincón, who work in the Santos, Ferraresi, do Sao PauloAnd Savarino and Otero, former Atlético-MG players.
