Brazil vs. Croatia
Friendly Football Match
Date: 03 June 2018;
Time: 11am
Venue: Anfield
(Liverpool)
More than a great challenge for the team led by coach Tite,
the match will mark the return of
Philippe Coutinho to the stage in which he emerged for world football and made
him stop at Barcelona. In Brazil, Douglas Costa and Renato Augusto will not
play this match, as they are injured.
Negotiated by Liverpool in the last European transfer window,
Philippe Coutinho will head the Brazilian
team against Croatia according
to what the press could follow in training this week. With the absence of
Neymar, the player will take on the left wing as he has become accustomed to
playing for the Reds and shining at Anfield, the club's home stadium that won
the Champions League runners-up last Saturday.
Newly recovered from a fracture in the fifth metatarsal of
the right foot, Neymar still cannot
play 90 minutes at a high level; however, his presence is almost certain in the
second half. Willian, one of the athletes who have been requesting passage in
the starting team for some time, will play on the right wing, forming the
attack trio with Gabriel Jesus and Coutinho.
