Brazil's Potential Opponents Analysis

A Ivory Coast é uma equipe muito perigosa, eles atacam muito.

Eu acho que para o Brasil, o estilo de jogo da Ivory Coast seria melhor, porque seria mais um jogo aberto.

E claro, a Noruega tem um dos melhores jogadores do mundo, se não o melhor.

Então, eu preferiria a Ivory Coast, mas não tenho respeito com a Ivory Coast.

Eu só acho que o estilo de jogo deles deixaria um pouco mais de espaço para o Brasil atacar,

e é por isso que nós vimos hoje o quão difícil era derrubar o Japão.

Sim, interessante comentário.

Graças, Lucas.

Falaremos com você em breve aqui no Galacto, no Jogo da Noite, 48 Nações.

O que você pensa sobre isso?

Eu acho que ele está certo.

Eu acho que ele está absolutamente certo.

Ele está falando sobre isso tacticamente.

Ele está falando sobre times como o Brasil, times como a Inglaterra,

que lutam contra times que ficam em um bloco baixo e te dão um monte de bola.

O que ele está dizendo é que a Ivory Coast, enquanto eles são muito bons,

eles jogam de uma forma, que é atacar.

Nós vimos no Jogo da Alemanha, eles eram muito, muito bons,

eles eram o melhor time no Jogo da Alemanha,

mas eles simplesmente não lidaram com os momentos, porque ainda era uma equipe jovem.

E eles lidaram com esses momentos, a Alemanha pegou os dois gols tarde,

e acabou vencendo o jogo.

Então, eu acho que, tacticamente, o que ele está dizendo é...

Correct, he wants a team that goes against him.

But surely you'd be wary of any team that's got Erling Haaland, right?

I understand that, but I would gladly disagree with that for me.

I think you'd want to face a Norway than an Ivory Coast, in my opinion,

from what I've seen so far from Norway.

I understand the Erling Haaland situation, and with Erling Haaland,

and now Norway are struggling in that right-back position as well now,

without a real recognised right-back.

You talk about Odegaard, I think Ivory Coast are a way more dangerous opponent

for Brazil, and especially...

He's not stating that.

I'm just saying, that's his opinion, it's fine.

But I would just say, for me, I think it would be better for Brazil to face a Norway

than it is an Ivory Coast.

Because Ivory Coast only lost that Germany game as well,

because they were voicing...

I'm going neutral.

I think both teams at this stage of the game are going to be difficult to play against.

You've got two different tactics.

If you want, Ivory Coast could open it up, and with their pace,

they could be very dangerous.

Defending, not as great as the Japanese, but going forward,

they could be a lot more dangerous.

On the other hand, when you look at Norway, you're going to see a team that will drop off.

They will.

We saw it against Senegal.

They dropped off, they defended, Haaland dropped into the midfield.

Playoff Haaland, he holds it up, he brings the midfield, then they finally attack.

So I think both teams will be very difficult.

There's not one or the other, and especially if Casemiro's hurt, you know what I mean?

You're starting to look at injuries now.

So I don't see any easy game, because you saw how nervous Brazil played today,

the first 45 minutes.

That's the most, I guess, safest I could say I've seen them play in a while.

Not taking risks.

The second half, it opened up more.

So I feel that either one of those teams, they both have...

abilities that they can beat Brazil and and that could be dangerous.
