A Brazilian Team continued this Monday to prepare for the friendly against Senegal and had striker Rodrygo, starter in the rout against Guinea last Saturday, as a casualty. With that, interim Ramon Menezes should promote Malcom, who entered in the 37th minute of the final stage, to the eleven that will start the match. In a press conference, the coach praised the striker Real Madrid and commented on the forced change.
“That’s what I’ve always been saying, I said it here in my last press conference and after the game, it’s a group. We have 23 players, all of them with huge potential and everyone prepared and ready to play. Rodrygo played a beautiful game, he’s growing a lot, he’s a player with a very high technical level, he’s been understanding his positioning especially in the defensive phase. In the offensive phase, what do I have to say about this athlete? He’s Brazilian football, he’s very easy in the last third of the field, of improvisation, of trying the unexpected, what we expect from a great player, and he does all that.
“Malcom was called up for the season he had, with several goals. He was the league’s top scorer at Zenit and, when he had the opportunity to enter, he entered very well, performed very well, suffered a penalty, made some good plays, hence the opportunity” , continued the coach.
In addition, Ramon Menezes designed the confrontation against the Senegalese. According to him, the African team is, like the last opponent, “very strong physically”, but has greater technical quality to propose a match.
“First, they are a great opponent, they had a good World Cup. As I said about Guinea, it is a very strong team physically, with a very good offensive transition, which also has a good defensive transition. It is a team that likes to control the game , because they have technical players, with quality. It’s also a first-ball, second-ball game, all that we’ve seen and we know all the difficulty we’re going to face in the game”, he added.
Finally, still under the command of the interim, Brazil returns to the field this Tuesday to face Senegal. The ball rolls for the international friendly at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Estádio de Alvalade, in Lisbon (POR).
With racism there is no game!
We won on the field. And we will win this tough battle against racism off the field
