Neymar, Gabriel Jesús and Raphinha, the trident of Brazil to defeat Colombia in Sao Paulo, for the qualifying rounds to Qatar 2022

The Brazilian coach, Tite, announced during Wednesday’s training the starting eleven that will be measured this Thursday (7:30 p.m.) to Colombia for the World Cup qualifiers, with Neymar, Gabriel Jesús and Raphinha in attack.

Canarinha trained for the first time with all its troops at the Corinthians training center, in Sao Paulo, on the eve of its duel with the coffee team, in which it will seek to close its mathematical classification for the Qatar 2022 World Cup.

After the traditional warm-up round, Tite divided the group in two and began to work with the eleven players who will foreseeably jump from the start to the Neo Química Arena in Sao Paulo.

Those eleven chosen were: Alisson; Danilo, Marquinhos, Thiago Silva, Alex Sandro; Casemiro, Fred, Lucas Paquetá; Raphinha, Gabriel Jesus and Neymar.

In this way, Tite will repeat the attack front that in the previous round of the qualifying rounds beat Uruguay 4-1, although he will introduce four changes with respect to that match.

This time it will be under the sticks Alisson, Liverpool, to the detriment of Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson.

In defense, winger Danilo and central defender Marquinhos will return, and in the midfield Tite will recover Casemiro, who missed the last three games with the national team due to an infectious process in the wisdom tooth.

Knockout leader Brazil, undefeated with 31 points from 11 games, will guarantee its mathematical qualification for Qatar 2022 if it defeats Colombia and Uruguay does not beat Argentina on Friday.

After playing against Reinaldo Rueda’s team, Canarinha will face Argentina next Tuesday, in San Juan, in what will be their last game of the year. (D)
