At Santiago Bernabeu, two teams will face off in an eagerly anticipated friendly. Barcelona starlet Pau Cubarsi hopes to earn his debut for Spain; Dorival could include players such as Yamine Laporte and Fabian Ruiz in its starting XI.
Priscila advanced down the left flank and shot across goal, but Catalina Coll swatted it away for a corner kick. In this article, we will discuss about the matches of Spain vs Brazil.
Spain Lineup
Spain are famous for their trademark tiki-taka style of play popularised under Luis Aragones and Vicente del Bosque. They keep possession for long stretches while employing short passes with constant movement to penetrate opposing defenses – an approach likely to prove successful against an eager Brazilian side eager to build on their win against England at Wembley Stadium.
Spain started off the tournament struggling with injuries, with Pedri being sidelined again due to a hamstring issue. That leaves Luis de la Fuente scrambling his lineup again, though Real Madrid youngsters Vinicius and Rodrygo may benefit.
Barcelona and Real Madrid teammate Lamine Yamal should enjoy plenty of chances to showcase their skills at the Bernabeu. Their young frontline has been impressive throughout this tournament and should get plenty of chances to attack against an unreliable Brazilian defense.
The game has started off shakily as both teams struggle to find their footing. While few chances have presented themselves thus far, both have shown they possess enough creativity in the final third to produce some brilliant moves and score the opening goal from Aitana Bonmati’s cross into the box for Yamal to head home from close range.
Brazil Lineup
Brazil boasts numerous players with 100 or more caps, such as Cafu, Neymar and Robinho; these veterans may find it challenging against Spain who possess possession well and often retain it for extended periods.
Dorival Junior of Brazil will be eager to secure a favorable result in Group D that gives his squad an outside shot at reaching the quarterfinals. Even without Neymar due to injury and without goalkeeper Marta as they have scored plenty of goals throughout all three matches in which they have competed so far.
RB: Danilo; CBs Eder Militao and Marquinhos; Bruno Guimaraes and Joao Gomes (DM) were chosen. Lucas Paqueta served as right back while Rodrygo and Vinicius Jr were on the left wing respectively.
The defending champions will likely field the same starting lineup that started against Paraguay, though Real Madrid winger Vinicius could replace Eder, who is on yellow card and at risk of suspension for Colombia’s match next. Juventus’ Andreas Pereira may replace injured central defender Marcelo in central defense while Brazil captain Danilo will wear the armband once more. Douglas Luiz from Aston Villa may take precedence over Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Joao Gomes to partner him as holding midfield double pivot.
Spain Subs
At an exciting stadium-packed friendly match between Spain and Brazil, Lamine Yamal’s brilliance stood out. Diffusing Brazilian defense and setting up penalties for Rodri as well as one himself late on earned him Michelob Ultra Man of the Match recognition.
Hosts began strongly, forcing Brazil back into their own half with high-intensity pressing and coming close with Foden winning a free-kick on the right he bent just past the far post. But they were ultimately punished when Lucas Beraldo was caught napping by a quick counter and Rodri’s low finish found its way into the bottom corner.
Second half play was frenetic with Fabian Ruiz and Dani Olmo causing havoc for Spain’s defence as they attempted to score goals. Their efforts almost led to another when one of Olmo’s shots from 25 yards was blocked on the line; but after Laporte and Guimaraes had an aggressive exchange in stoppage time it soon levelled itself up again before Rodri scored again from his penalty spot while an errant pass from Simon allowed Endrick an equalising chance with Brazil.
Brazil Subs
After an injury-plagued season for Brazil’s back five, coach Dorival Dias made four of them debut for Selecao: Beraldo and Fabricio Bruno were given debuts by coach Dias for Selecao duty; Beraldo and Fabricio Bruno looked nervous but generally were adept enough. Rodrygo, one of Europe’s most exciting young players, provided instant spark when he scored late winner against England at the weekend; now Rodrygo struck again, scoring from the edge of Bernabeu that sent fans wild.
Although Brazil and France appear closer than ever these days — a far cry from when Bolsonaro was insulting Macron’s wife — their military relations remain tenuous. On Wednesday, Brazil launched their third Riachuelo class submarine developed jointly by both countries: Tonelero.
The Tonelero was designed to protect Brazil’s vast 8,500-kilometer exclusive economic zone, through which 95% of foreign trade passes and 95% of its oil is extracted. Additionally, it will serve as a testbed for Prosub – an upcoming nuclear submarine program outlined by President Lula in 2008 along with former French President Nicolas Sarkozy – which involves technology transfer for construction of four diesel-powered submarines and one nuclear sub hull in Brazil.
