Brazil vs South Korea match preview: World Cup 2022 round of 16
Al JazeeraBrazil will look to recover from their upset loss to Cameroon as they take on a South Korea brimming with confidence. Who: Brazil vs South Korea Where: Stadium 974 When: December 5, 10pm Brazil head into Monday’s World Cup last-16 tie against South Korea preoccupied with the health of the great Pele and with coach Tite wondering whether to recall the Selecao Canarinho’s current number 10 Neymar after an ankle injury kept him out of the last two matches. The three-time World Cup winner, now aged 82, has been undergoing a “re-evaluation” of the chemotherapy he had following surgery to remove a colon tumour in September last year. Brazil fans also unfurled a banner with a “get well soon” message for Pele before the Cameroon game, which the Selecao lost 1-0, their first defeat at the group stage since 1998. I think him coming back will make me better.” If Brazil win at Doha’s Stadium 974 they will advance to a quarter-final against Japan or Croatia, with a last-four showdown against great rivals Argentina still on the cards.
