The Brazilian national team seek to secure a seat in the quarter-finals of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 when it meets the South Korean national team on Monday at Stadium 974 in the last 16 at the World Cup.
The five-time world champion will have to reckon with an event-making competitor in the final round of the group stage when it clinched his place in Round of 16 with a historic victory over the Portuguese national team in stoppage time with two goals to one for Group H, revealing great capabilities and a high fighting spirit that might help them achieve what may be impossible by reaching the quarter-finals at the expense of one of the most prominent candidates for the world title.
The Brazilian national team and their coach, Leonardo Bacchi "Tite", are under great pressure during the current stage of the competition due to injuries of a large number of its players, the last of whom was the Brazil duo Gabriel Jesus and Alex Telles. In addition to the suffering of the right-back, Danilo, while the mystery still surrounds the condition of Alex Sandro, as well as the largest absentee, Neymar, who suffered an ankle injury in the first match. They were late in joining group training, which means that they could not catch up with the Korea's match in the hope of playing in the next round, but the team has wide options, which keeps the Brazilian team nominated for victory and qualification.
