Neymar reappears in 'Canalinha' in Moment of Truth

 Neymar's return is great news for Brazil. Brazil enters the round of 16 against South Korea as clear favorites but is severely weakened by injuries. The '10' of the 'Canariña' touched the ball and trained with his teammates yesterday after missing his two games in the first group match due to a strained right ankle ligament.




Asked about Neymar's situation at a press conference, Tait confirmed that the PSG striker will be back in action this Monday but did not say whether he will start or play as a substitute. It all depends on what the medical department says. I prefer to have the best XI from the beginning,” the Brazilian assured.

Troubleshooting With Rafinha, Richarlison, and Vinicius firmly established on the offensive field and Casemiro the undisputed anchor in the engine room, Paqueta and Fred will vie for the remaining space as long as the PSG striker is ready. increase. Gabriel Jesus, who retired from the World Cup with a knee injury, is no substitute for attacking.


Neymar's return seems necessary for Seleção, who scored just three goals in the group stage and is ahead of 18 teams in the tally. And he has 51 finishers, most of them for France (except round 16).

Problems on the Sides:

Whether or not Neymar gets sick, Tait has another headache on either side. The only one who can reach 100% is Dani her Alves, who seems to have no choice as a starter for Knockout her phase. Alex Sandro has injured his left hip and Sevilla's Alex Telles will not play again due to a right knee injury.


In this situation, there is every indication that the coach will move Merengue Militao to the right wing and switch the band to a recovered Danilo. On the back axis, Marquinhos and Thiago his Silva seniors are back and Alisson is under the stick.

South Korea, nothing to lose:

For its part, South Korea arrives at the event ready to surprise. The Asian team left Uruguay on the last day of the group stage and won a prestigious victory over Portugal, although the Portuguese squad did not play anymore.


Believed in the quality of Heung-min Son and striker Gue-sun Cho, Korea will return for the third time in its history to the round of 16. He did it, that way, in 2002, when he reached the semi-finals, and also in 2010 when Uruguay stopped them.


Low expectations -Brazil is the favorites-, especially considering that in the last match between these two teams, in June, "seleçao" went 5-1 in Seoul, with a brace by Neymar. In fact, Brazil has never lost to an Asian team at a World Cup.

probable lineups:

Brazil:

Alisson; Militao, T. Silva, Marquinhos, Danilo; Fred, Casemiro; Leaf, Neymar, Vinicius; and Richarlison.


South Korea:

Skim; Mo.Kim, Mi.Kim, Y.Kim, J. Kim; I. Hwang, W. Jung, K. Lee; H. Hwang, G. Cho and H. Son.
