Brazil lost 1-0 to Cameroon in the last round of the World Cup group stage, but still qualified for the round of 16 because their number of points could no longer be shaken. The Samba team even advanced as group winners with 6 points.
However, Brazil’s defeat in the group stage of the World Cup actually broke their record which has never lost since 1998. Indeed, in the last round of matches, coach Adenor Leonardo Bacchi, usually called Tite, rotated most of the team and rested the main players, especially the injured Neymar, in order to facing tough opponents in the round of 16 matches.
But the latest news according to “Team Daily”, Neymar has participated in team training and is expected to play against South Korea. The Paris Saint-Germain player was injured during Brazil’s 2-0 win over Serbia in the first round of the group stage. Neymar then missed two of the team’s matches.
According to reports, the captain of the Brazilian national team will be included in the lineup list for the 2022 World Cup finals between Brazil vs South Korea. But it remains to be seen whether Tite will risk playing him. Neymar has now returned to team training, this is the first time he has attended team training since his injury.
On the other hand, the South Korean team created a miracle. They counterattacked quickly in the game against Portugal, and won 2-1. Son Heung-min is undoubtedly a great hero. In the 91st minute, the Tottenham Hotspur striker dribbled in from distance, outwitted several Portuguese players and set up Hwang Hee-chan who scored the winner.
Superior in the difference in scoring more goals, Taegeuk Knights finally beat Uruguay to qualify for the last 16 as group H runners-up. Even though at the same hour, Uruguay also won 2-0 over Ghana, but failed to advance to the knockout system.
The two teams have faced each other three times, all in friendlies, and Brazil have won each of them. The last time the two teams played was in June this year at the Seoul World Cup Stadium, Seoul, and Brazil won 1-5 through goals from Richarlison, Philippe Coutinho, Gabriel Jesus, and Neymar (2 goals), while South Korea’s goal was scored by Hwang Ui-Jo .
