Brazilwho wants to conquer the Copa América again (the Leo Messi’s Argentina is the current champion), will not fail against Paraguay at dawn this Friday through Saturday at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. And the ‘seleçao’, who trained on Thursday in almost 40 degrees, started this edition of the tournament stumbling against Costa Rica in group D (a 0-0 which was a big blow for ‘canarinha’ fans).
At this moment Brazil, with the madridistas Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo Goes (who returned to training on Thursday after not doing so on Wednesday as a precaution), like the Barcelona player Raphinhaamong its stars, and with the goalkeeper of Liverpool Alisson Becker between the sticks, is obliged to win and convince against the Paraguayan team, which started this Copa América losing against Colombia (2-1). Coffee growers measure themselves in the coming morning at Costa Rica.
