At present, Brazil is considered to be very energetic, basically the lineup is very complete, the only injured Neymar has returned, and Brazil also showed good form in the round of sixteen against South Korea, so they are in the same condition as at the beginning of the World Cup, and there is no wear and tear.
Richarlison on the front line is considered to be in pretty good shape, the reaction to his 29th minute goal against South Korea was very quick, and he scored two goals in a row against Serbia in the first match of the group stage, especially the reaction to that side hung shot was extremely good, which can show that Richarlison is in peak shape.
Raphinha on the right flank has been in a support role and he has been doing a pretty good job, he has been able to push forward and deliver the ball successfully on the right side in a few games, his work in finding positions and passing is perfect, so far it's a scoreless game but it's quite a success in terms of functioning as the right flank of the Brazilian team.
Vinicius on the left side also put himself in a supporting role, he is always on the lookout for his teammates and go to fill in the position and make up for the shot, but also very appropriate use of his own breakthrough power to pull the opponent's defense, the first goal against Serbia was before Neymar was about to concede the ball Vinicius went up to make up for the shot, forcing the keeper to release the hand to allow Richarlison to make up for the goal, and in the seventh minute of the goal against South Korea, he also followed up to the penalty area to get a good shot and then shot very important to his sense of follow up. In the 7th minute of the goal against South Korea, he also followed up to the penalty area to get the ball well before shooting, his sense of positioning and follow-up is very important.
Neymar, as the main player, was injured after the first match against Serbia and missed the next two group matches, but he was back in the round of 16 against South Korea. In the match, we could see that Neymar played very reservedly, and it is true that his control of the belt is very helpful in attracting the opponents, and if Neymar was out of the lineup, it would be a little bit of an impact on Brazil, and he gave the feeling that he was very careful, because there is almost no time for injuries in the next matches. In the next match, there is almost no time for injuries, once injured, it is likely to miss the important matches directly after, Neymar's function in the team is mainly in the middle of the road to promote and delivery, so far it seems that he is a striker's identity back to do the work of a midfielder is doing a very good job, especially in the front of the Richarlison is in good shape, Neymar will be relatively easy to do. Easier.
Casemiro and Paquetá are also a very stable combination in the midfield, Casemiro is mainly in the backfield, and Paquetá, who is more aggressive, can go forward from time to time. So far, due to the fact that the opponents have built up a dense final line, he has few chances to send crosses, but he is very solid in helping the wingers to push forward, and he is very stable in controlling the tempo of the game. Casemiro has gone from being a back in the backfield to helping with the attack and organization, and even scored a crucial goal against Switzerland. Casemiro's role in the Brazilian midfield is very important, and it should be difficult to replace him under the current circumstances.
The defense has been Marquinhos and Thiago Silva, who have been performing quite solidly. Brazil has only conceded two goals so far, one each in the group stage and the round of sixteen, which is considered medium for the top eight teams (four teams conceded a total of two goals), and this central defense plus goalkeeper Alisson seems to have no big problems, while the two wingbacks are Danilo and AlexSandro, who have both rotated at left back. The two wingbacks, Danilo and Alex Sandro, have both rotated through the left back, and the right back is gradually turning into Militão. Brazil's backline is basically inclined to be defensive, and Coach Tite is clearly prioritizing stability, and apart from the dropped goal against Cameroon in the third group game, Brazil's defense has made almost no mistakes, which is considered quite solid.
The current Croesus is just solid in the
advancement
The midfield is mostly unchanged, with Modric leading the strongest midfield of Croeccia, and Brozovic and Kovacic protecting them. With these three pillars stabilizing the midfield and gradually pressing the opponents, the basic style of play is quite consistent, with most of the transmission in the middle of the field coming from the linkage between Modric and Brozovic.
Croecia's front line, the absolute constant main force is the left wing Perisic, 33-year-old veteran is still very iron, impact is strong enough, in the penalty area also has the ability to force the foot, header ability is also strong enough, is Croecia rely on an important weapon, the striker is not changed is the No. 9 of the Kramaric, his flexible hands make him very important in the front line, he is considered to be the best player on the front line of Croecia grabbing ability and shooting ability, he is also the team's best scorer. Kramaric is the best striker and goal scorer in Croatsia, he scored two goals against Canada in the group stage and is also the best scorer in the team.
