Brazil - South Korea: World Cup in Qatar 2022, live | Neymar returns to ownership in search of the quarterfinals

The Brazilian team seeks tonight to get into the quarterfinals of the Qatar 2022 World Cup against the surprising South Korea.

Canarinha does not want to become the first surprise of the qualifiers and recovers most of the starters who rested on the last day of the group stage, when they lost to Cameroon.

Tite also once again has Neymar, injured since the first game against Serbia, who starts from the starting eleven forming up front along with Vinicius and Richarlison.

South Korea dreams of qualifying for the second time in its history for the quarterfinals.

The Asians have already overcome a group stage in which they did not start as favorites thanks to their unexpected victory against Portugal on the last day.

With Son at the helm, they are not afraid to take on one of the main candidates.

Neymar also wants to leave his mark

Until now there is a proper name above the others in the World Cup.

And that is Mbappé.

The Frenchman, top scorer, has demonstrated his superiority on the mat with goals and chances generated.

Another PSG player, Leo Messi, has also been decisive with Argentina, also in the quarterfinals like the Frenchmen.

Now it's up to Neymar, the last tip of the PSG trident, to make the difference.

He did so in the first duel against Serbia, then in the back room for having a swollen ankle.

We will see what version of the Brazilian we find against Korea.

Soccer World Cup

Korea beat Portugal and qualify by surprise

Diego Torres

Ninety minutes of irrelevance gave way to six decisive minutes when, after a corner kick, the clearance fell at the feet of Heungmin Son.

Fresh from regulation time, the superb Tottenham striker led the solo counterattack across a half-empty field.

For a few moments only he and Palhinha inhabited it.

But Palhinha, who presumes to be tough, loosened up, and instead of overtaking him, he gave ground to him.

Son took advantage of the time given to him by his opponent to wait for Hwang Hee-chan, who arrived to score the winning goal for South Korea, qualifying it for the round of 16 at the expense of Uruguay.

The South American team was left out of the tournament by a goal difference despite winning their last game.

This is Korea, a team that came to Qatar to get into their field and let time go by while their fans scream and Paulo Bento, the coach, looks sadly at the spectacle that he himself has designed.

His plan is to wait, roll the dice in the hope that luck prevents goals against, and risk everything on the mistake of others.

Aboubakar's great useless night against Brazil

David Alvarez

Vincent Aboubakar is a 30-year-old guy who, after giving up his life as a globetrotter in Europe, went to Al Nassr Saudi last year, but he still had an unforgettable night on football's biggest stage.

In a match that Brazil was processing looking at the round of 16 game on Monday against South Korea, the Cameroonian striker headed a cross in added time and gave his country an unexpected victory against the five-time world champion, who was unable to amend the record in one last charge with as many misses as Lukaku against Croatia.

After scoring, he had himself sent off.

In delirium, he took off his shirt, and the referee, after congratulating him, showed him the second yellow and sent him out, a moment before all of Cameroon started to return home.

Brazil, between Pelé and Neymar

David Alvarez

Tite handles the pressure of directing the favorites with the calm of an enlightened man, but there is an issue capable of taking him out of that kind of slight trance and depositing him fully in the emotion.

Pelé has been admitted to the Israelite Albert Einstein Hospital in São Paulo for a few days with a lung infection and undergoing chemotherapy for colon cancer, according to the latest medical report.

Brazil was this Sunday on the eve of its round of 16 match against South Korea (8:00 p.m., Movistar), and Tite was talking about Neymar, who is already training, the rest of the injured, the defeat against Cameroon, everything;

until they reminded him of what was happening to Pelé.

He changed his face: "I had to start there," he lamented.

“I am going to speak from the feeling.

Maybe he's the only person who made me nervous before I went to say hello.

I'm talking about emotion.

We were sitting in 2018 and they say to me: 'Go give Pelé a hug'.

I got up and trembled.

My hands were sweating, my heart rate went up, ”she recounted.

"Cheers, Pele.

I send you the love of all of us."

Tite takes out the gala eleven

What Brazil will we see?

Although it was a team of circumstances because Tite decided to rest many of the starters -Alison, Thiago Silva, Paquetá, Casemiro, Vinicius and Richarlison did not play a minute-, Brazil fell to Cameroon and along the way lost some of the credit that was He had won at the beginning of this World Cup, but the worst thing was that he also lost Alex Telles and Gabriel Jesús for the remaining games in the tournament.

But in the first two duels there were hardly any cracks, a team that defends with six because it makes some very energetic transitions.

In addition, Neymar returns, after suffering a kick in the World Cup debut against Serbia, when his right ankle was left to the virulé.

He has missed the

, since he has only scored three goals, a meager record if, for example, one takes into account that in 2002 -the last time he won the Jules Rimet trophy- he celebrated 11 in the phase of groups.
