The draw against Venezuela, a nation that has never made it to the World Cup, infuriated Brazil supporters. After the game, the team’s most criticized player was the 31-year-old Neymar for a number of misplaced passes and sloppy finishes. As other spectators tossed popcorn at him, the Al-Hilal striker was seen fleeing the field in annoyance on camera. The players that perform poorly in crucial matches are referred to as “pipoqueiro” (popcorn man) in Brazilian soccer culture. At the Centenario Stadium in Montevideo on Tuesday, he most likely plays Uruguay.
For the next round of qualifying, Brazil’s new coach Fernando Diniz, who was also lambasted after the draw with Venezuela, is expected to make three changes.
Danilo, the right back, is injured and Yan Couto will take his place. Carlos Augusto, 24, is anticipated to replace left-back Guilherme Arana and make his national team debut. Additionally, Gabriel Jesus may replace Richarlison as the national team’s starting striker since he has not scored in six games.
Since 2001, Uruguay hasn’t defeated Brazil in a World Cup qualifying match. After a 2-2 draw against Colombia, captain Federico Valverde feels confident about the next game. He said that he and Brazilian colleagues Rodrygo and Vinicius Junior of Real Madrid had been discussing the match for weeks.
