Brazil concentrates its artillery on reaching the round of 16 of the World Cup

The five-time champion, without Neymar, seeks the ticket against a Switzerland with the same goal

MADRID, 27 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Brazilian soccer team wants to become this Monday (5:00 p.m.) the team for the round of 16 of the World Cup in Qatar and, in addition, a feared rival for the rest of the candidates, for which they have to beat a Switzerland that has the same option of spend.

For both teams, the World Cup began with a triumph last Thursday within Group G, with which they are in a position of 'pole' to win the tickets to the crossings. The favoritism is undoubtedly higher in Brazil, but they will have to show it at Stadium 974.

The five-time champion, who seeks to end the 20-year drought, got rid of Serbia (2-0) with a double from Richarlison. The Brazilian punch ended up coming out of the Tottenham striker's boots, in the midst of a quite notable siege from Tite's team.

The bad news for the 'canarinha' was the injury to a Neymar ruled out for the moment for this Monday, but almost certainly also for the last day. However, the Brazilian artillery can break through several places and with different names from Switzerland, with Raphinha, Martinelli, Gabriel Jesús, Vinicius or Rodrygo.

For Switzerland, which is looking for the third World Cup in a row to reach at least the round of 16, the ballot may be to enjoy and look for the bell. Murat Yakin's men, knowing that they will continue to live no matter what, will try to stifle the South American game and surprise their arrivals, although they will have to improve their debut.

And it is that the 1-0 against Cameroon was gold and oil at the same time, after suffering in the first half, to see more closely their options to advance. The goal was scored by Breel Emboló, but the Swiss team has more weapons to put into play like Shaqiri and Xhaka.
