Croatia vs Brazil match preview: World Cup 2022 quarter-final
Who: Brazil vs Croatia
Where: Education City Stadium
When: Friday, December *, * pm (15:00 GMT)
Brazil was at its brilliant stylish on Monday, putting four past South Korea in a ruinous first-half display. The South American platoon, which tops FIFA’s rankings, will head into Friday’s match against twelfth-placed Croatia on a surge of confidence and high morale.
Still, Croatia has proven delicate to beat and frustrated numerous opponents with their knack of dragging out every knockout game to the very end. And as World Cup finalists in 2018, they know how to play and perform in high-pressure matches. The Croats famously played out three rounds of redundant time over the knockout stages on their way to that World Cup final in Russia. This time, they crushed Japan on penalties in the round of 16.
Yet, they will need to be careful not to let complacency set in, or Croatia could discipline them, If Brazil enjoys another bright launch to this game.
Richarlison, Brazil’s top arranger in the event so far, enjoyed another fine game against South Korea, netting his third thing in as numerous games. Paris Saint- Germain’s Neymar returned from a group-stage injury to put in an emotional performance against South Korea and looks set to play on Saturday.
Indeed as Brazil look to overwhelm a disciplined Croatian backline with attacking faculty, they can also calculate on Liverpool’s Alisson in thing and Chelsea’s Thiago Silva at the center of defense to keep the peril of Croatia’s star playmaker Luka Modric at bay.
Croatia has only conceded two goals so far in this event, but it could fluently have been further if Belgium’s Romelu Lukaku had been suitable to finish any of his gilt-edged chances in their final group game. Brazil is undefeated against Croatia in their four former games.
Still, they will enter their third World Cup semi-final, If Croatia breaks that pattern on Friday. After finishing in third place in 1998, they were runners-up in 2018 and a palm over Brazil would allow them to dream of going all the way this time.
But they’re up against the most successful nation in the history of football. However, they will enter these finals for the ninth time, If Brazil wins. And if the five-time titleholders demanded any incitement to strive for a sixth world title, the hospitalization of Pele has served to bind their country, its suckers, and players in a single prayer to win the World Cup for the legend.
The winner of the Brazil- Croatia quarter-final will play the platoon that comes out on top in the game between Argentina and the Netherlands, also on Friday.
