Brazil, world champion in the Cups of Sweden ’58, Chile ’62, Mexico ’70, USA ’94 and Japan and Korea 2002, wants to regain leadership after being left out in the quarterfinals in the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
The team led by Tite, 61, suffered a severe blow when last year they lost the final of the Copa América in the legendary Maracanã stadium against Argentina, and Qatar represents a good opportunity to resume the foreground.
Brazil has figures in all its lines, such as the goalkeeper Alisson Becker, the defender Thiago Silva, who will be the captain and at 38 years old will participate in his fourth World Cup, (the previous ones in South Africa 2010, Brazil 2014 and Russia 2018), the midfielders Lucas Paquetá and Casemiro, and in attack Neymar together with Vinicius Jr,
Another asset to highlight in Brazil is the scorer Pedro, a Flamengo figure, who could play before the Serbs and relegate Gabriel Jesús, in one of the doubts that Tite has to define the formation.
The other unknown is in the defense since Marquinhos had a physical problem and if he doesn’t play, Miliao will replace him.
Brazil is a wide favorite against a rival like Serbia that intends to overcome the initial phase for the first time and has as its exclusive figure the scorer Vlahovic, a figure of Juventus in Italy, and other important ones such as Dusan Tadic, from Ajax, Nemanja Guldelj and the goalkeeper Marko Dmitrovic, both from Sevilla, or Sergej Milinkovic, from Lazio.
Brazil’s second presentation will be against Switzerland next Monday at 1:00 p.m., while the group will close against Cameroon on Friday, December 2 at 4:00 p.m.
When will Brazil vs Serbia play?
The “Scratch” will go into action this Thursday from 4:00 p.m. (Argentine time) at the Lusail Iconic Stadium with the refereeing of the Iranian Alireza Faghan.
Where to watch Brazil vs Serbia
The duel between South Americans and Europeans will be televised by the TyC Sports cable signal.
