CUP America 2021 has reached the peak party that brings together Argentina with Brazil. The grand match will take place at the Maracana Stadium, Brazil, Sunday 11 July 2021, morning WIB.
Argentina and Brazil both have star players, but the Albiceleste -Argentina’s nickname – is predicted to be the champion. Here are five reasons Brazil will lose to Argentina Sportskeeda, Friday (9/7/2021).
5. Brazil Lacks Conventional Attackers
Brazil has Neymar Jr up front, but he is not a conventional striker. Gabriel Jesus met the criteria to become the conventional striker, but was unable to play for Brazil due to suspension.
Brazil has Roberto Firmino, Richarlison and Gabriel Barbosa who unfortunately did not perform well in the 2020-2021 season. The absence of a formidable striker on Brazil’s front lines will be difficult against an Argentine defense that relies heavily on physicality.
4. Brazil Lacks Creativity
The inspiration for Brazil’s game in the 2021 Copa America is Neymar Jr. The Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) player almost always spearheaded Brazil’s attack.
Meanwhile, other players in Brazil’s midfield are more of a destroyer type of opponent’s attack. Maybe only Lucas Paqueta can help Neymar to develop Brazil’s game in the 2021 Copa America final.
