Brazil's next opponent has long been determined, is South American powerhouse Uruguay.
As one of the traditional top three South Americans, Uruguay has been playing particularly well despite playing poorly in recent years.
However, the last time the two teams met in the America's Cup was the 1999 final. At that time, under the leadership of Ronaldinho, the Brazilian team took the opponent: 0. Therefore, the Brazilian team still has a psychological advantage when facing Uruguay.
There is an irresolvable grudge between Brazil and Uruguay.
In the 1950 World Cup in Brazil, the Brazilian team was eager to win the Hercules Cup for the first time at their doorstep. And they did well at the time. Under the leadership of Admiral and others, they killed the Quartet with excellent records. In the first two rounds of the knockout round, Brazil swept Sweden 7: 1 and spat Spain 6: 1. In the final round, they faced Uruguay and only needed to tie to win.
In the "Finals" in Maracana, with the help of 174,000 fans, the Brazilian team took the lead with Friasa's goal. When the Brazilian fans thought the winning ticket was in hand, when the team was about to win the World Cup for the first time, the situation changed suddenly.
Schiafino and Gisia scored two goals in a row, crushing the Brazilian champion's dream.
However, since then, Uruguay has never entered the World Cup finals. Instead, Brazil has entered the 6 finals and won five times, becoming the flag of South American football.
The gap between Uruguay and Brazil football is also widening.
Although Uruguay Penarrol is still the team with the most championships in the South American Liberator Cup, Uruguay football has been left behind by Brazil and Argentina as a whole.
On the evening of July 21, Peru's capital Lima, Brazil played against Uruguay. The winner among them will face off against Argentina. Argentina eliminated Colombia in the previous match.
Before the game, the major media were generally optimistic about the Brazil team. Although Brazil lost to Paraguay in the group stage and Paraguay was eliminated by Uruguay, this does not mean that Uruguay has defeated Brazil.
On the contrary, Uruguay is weaker than Brazil at any level.
Pereira completely copied the lineup when he swept Mexico 0: 0. Serie A. Mancini continued to be squeezed by Maicon on the bench, while Ricardo continued to partner with Adriano.
Compared to Brazil's lineup, Uruguay's composition is much shabby and there is no real big name.
Although Brazil did not have any world-class stars, anyway, there are so many intercontinental stars to support the scene.
The Uruguay team has only one intercontinental level, and the rest are all national and regional players.
If you only look at the strength on paper, Uruguay really does not need to play, it is enough to admit defeat directly, the strength is too great.
But after the start of the game, Uruguays ran aggressively against fierce opponents with aggressive running. They played out a 352 formation today, double-backs intercepted in the midfield, and the three forwards delivered shells to two forwards Bueno and Dario Silva. The kick was very simple and straightforward.
Just 3 minutes into the game, Uruguay got a golden opportunity. They hit the wall and played one match two times to give the leading striker Dario Silva a shot in the penalty area. However, Cesar played superbly. Using his legs to block this close shot, Louison chased the ball and destroyed the ball.
The frightened Brazil team immediately launched a counterattack, Edu kicked the ball to Alex, and Alex made a diagonal pass to find Ricardo.
Ricardo turned his back to face the ball, picked the ball behind him, passed Javier Delgado, and led the ball straight. He ran all the way to the front of the penalty area before distributing the ball to Adriano. Adriano did not stop the ball well, it was a little bigger, and after catching up, he found that the angle was already very small.
He glanced at the middle of the road and saw that Ricardo had fallen into the siege of the Uruguay defender. He simply shot and kicked it against Uruguay goalkeeper Vieira's body. At this time, Ricardo suddenly started, leaving several Uruguay players behind him, rushing to the ball, jumping up and ejecting with his instep.
However, after all this time, he didn't have a good grasp, didn't make any effort, and the angle was not tricky enough. Biella succeeded in the second save and put the ball to the bottom line.
The Brazilian team's counterattack did not retreat the Uruguays. They continued to attack bravely, even fighting more and more bravely, and for a while suppressed the Brazilian team.
In the 13th minute, Uruguay got the best chance in the game. Juan made a mistake when attempting to make a header in the penalty area and gave the ball to Uruguay forward Bueno. Bueno immediately headed the ball a little and ferryed to his partner. Dario Silva. At this point Cesar had lost his position, he thought that Bueno would shoot directly and had moved ahead of time.
Dario Silva shot in the face of the empty door, hitting the beam and ejected, wasting a precious opportunity like a diamond.
Although the goal was not scored, it sounded the alarm for Brazil. Pereira was also very angry. He stood on the sideline and shouted for command. He didn't understand why the previous team played so well, but this game turned into a bear-like.
If you think about it, it seems that you have played a bear-like game, and then played 4: 1 to win Costa Rica. You also played very well, and Chile is a bear-like game.
This particular law came out, one good and one bad. In other words, if the Brazilian team can pass this tonight, they will play well in Argentina next time ... No problem, old iron.
But is this level so good? In the 22nd minute, Uruguay got a free kick on the left side of the frontcourt, Javier Delgado took the penalty.
He glanced at the penalty area and started running. His right foot was violently drawn at the lower right part of the football. The football draws a strong arc and flies directly to the penalty area of the Brazilian team. Uruguay's backside Sosa burst out of the crowd and jumped to the top. Brazilian goalkeeper Cesar immediately fell to the ground and fluttered. However, after the touchdown, the football suddenly rebounded, crossed his shoulder, and flew into the start.
Uruguay leads 0-1!
The fans at the scene were not surprised that the Brazilian team lost the ball first, and the commentators were not surprised.
The commentator of the Brazilian TV station said, "The Brazilian team is restricted in the midfield today. Uruguay's two lower backs, Bizera and Sosa, are fierce in defense. They are active and have great coverage. Perez, Delgado and Rodriguez also spared no effort to run. This Uruguay does not have a big-name star, but they used the overall tactic to suppress the Brazilian team's breathlessness, and the Brazilian team's conceding was expected. Now Seeing Pereira has a good way, he must make adjustments quickly. If this continues, Brazil will fall out of the final. "
