The team led by Tite easily beat a Bolivian team that only managed to defend itself.

Without going hard and in third gear, Brazil overwhelmed Bolivia 5-0 this Friday in Sao Paulo at the start of the South American qualifier for the Qatar-2022 World Cup.

 

Tite's team took the three points with scores from Marquinhos (16), José María Carrasco on own goal (66), Coutinho (76) and a double from Roberto Firmino (30 and 49) in a game played at the Neo Química Arena stadium .

With an active Neymar, recovered in extremis from back pain that kept his presence in suspense, the 'Canarinha' dominated without much effort a match in which the inferiority of Bolivia was ratified, which in the last four heats has finished bottom or penultimate from the table.

 

The ‘Selecao’, with the victory in their pockets, will now travel to Lima to face Peru on Tuesday. That same day, the men led by Venezuelan César Farías, who made his debut at the green bank, will receive Argentina at the height of La Paz.

The Bolivian team closed its 23-day concentration in La Paz this Sunday to move to Santa Cruz, the place chosen to finish its preparation before traveling to Brazil to play the first date of the Qatar 2022 Qualifiers.

 

The ‘Verde’ had their first training session yesterday at the Allianz Parque belonging to Palmeiras. And today he will carry out the recognition of the stadium, Neo Química Arena, where tomorrow he will face the famous Brazilian team.

Neymar is doubt

Adenor Leonardo Bacchi, ‘Tite’, tested Éverton Ribeiro on Wednesday as a possible replacement for Neymar, who is under medical care for a pain in his back.

 

The doctor of the Brazilian team, Rodrigo Lasmar, explained that the player was withdrawn from the practice of his country's team as a precaution and will be evaluated again this Thursday to determine if he will be able to perform at the Neo Química Arena stadium in Sao Paulo.

 

But in addition to Neymar, Gabriel Jesús will be out due to injury. The 23-year-old Manchester City striker played the entire match for his club and even scored the last goal in a 1-3 win at Wolverhampton.

The CBF did not specify the type of ailment or the duration of his removal from the courts.

 

Selecao's technical director, Tite, called in his replacement the striker Matheus Cunha, of Germany's Hertha Berlin and scorer of the Canarinha champion of the South American Pre-Olympic Sub-23 held between January and February in Colombia.
