Rain of goals lived in Seoul. Tite’s team, already thinking about the preparations for the world championships at the end of the year in Qatar, I was visiting one South Korea that will also play the World Cup from Qatar. brazil lined up a very offensive team, with four players from three quarters of the field forward, Y alone with Fred and Casemiro in the engine room.
In this first meeting of the two scheduled for Brazil on the Asian continent, Tite would have Neymar in the starting eleven, despite the fact that it was doubtful for some inconvenience. The game began with equality in the domain, something not very predictable, but it happened for the good tactical approach of the Koreans. After a few minutes of play, Brazilian talent would break that double line of the team led by Paulo Bento, Y Richarlison calmly from inside the box would get 0-1.
Minutes would pass, and Brazil’s game would grow, but finding over and over again with the pressure of South Korea, that after half an hour of play, would take advantage of the spaces after a robbery, and after a great filtered pass, Hwang Ui-Jo would score the surprising equalizer.
This reality check woke up the Brazilian team, who began to play in the rival area, and in one of those, a leaked ball hit the hand of a Korean player, and after the review of the VAR, the Japanese referee decreed a maximum penalty. Neymarwith his right leg, he would beat the goalkeeper who did not guess the side to overtake Brazil again.
Behind this, a shot by Thiago Silva to the crossbar would send the game to rest without further goals. Around halftime, Brazil would be an overwhelming team that would not give any option. In 1957, after the protests of the players for a fall of Alex Sandro in the area, the VAR again would indicate violation of 11 meters in favor of Brazil, and the story would be the same: Neymar tricks the goalkeeper and makes the third, the second from your private account.
After this goal a few minutes of tranquility would arrive, where Tite would give entry to Vinicius, Fabinho, Coutinho and Gabriel Jesus, some changes that indicate the template depth of this selection. One of them, specifically Coutinho, as soon as he entered the field, would join the scoring party with a cross shot. 1-4 and Korea was definitely lowering its arms.
The last minutes of the match were a carousel of opportunities for Brazilians. Vinicius and the newcomer cunha they would test the Korean meta again and again. Already in the discount, neither Cunha nor Vinicius, but Gabriel Jesus would be in charge of rounding off a very bulky marker for a Brazil that already sees the appointment against Japan on June 6.
