The World Cup is in full swing, and Brazil, after the first round of draws with Switzerland, can not afford to lose both matches after qualifying. Tonight's opponent Costa Rica is the biggest dark horse in the 14-year World Cup, although costa Rica's entire team is worth less than 1/5 of Brazil's star Neymar. But this is the World Cup, and as long as there is enough ability to qualify on the same platform. Brazil sent out 4 squads in the last game, but there was not much room for play under the opponent's foul, and perhaps it would be a good choice to change the starting lineup. This time, Xiaobian takes you to see which players in the Brazilian squad are active/former in the Premier League
Brazil
Ederson (Ederson), full name Ederson Santana de Moraes (born 17 August 1993 in Osasco, Brazil) is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a goalkeeper. Debuted in São Paulo, as a goalkeeper, in addition to excellent goal line skills, he also has excellent foot skills. As the last piece of the puzzle for City's title victory this season, Ederson's excellent technique guarantees that the team can control the ball from the goalkeeper position and act as another point of attack when facing the front of the field. He made 36 appearances for City in 17/18, keeping 17 clean sheets for the team. He currently plays for Manchester City F.C. in the Premier League. (PS: Ederson is said to have been a midfielder for the team when he was young, so it is understandable that the foot technique is excellent. As a new generation of goalkeepers, if you have always maintained the appearance of being efficient, you may be able to join the ranks of one of the best goalkeepers)
Danilo Luiz da Silva (born 15 July 1991 in The small town of Bicas, Minas Gerais, Brazil) is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a full-back as well as a centre-back. Debuting in Mineiro Americas, Danilo's left and right feet as a full-back are more balanced, left and right full-backs can be competent, physically strong, and can also have strong defensive ability when facing high balls. At Manchester City, he mainly rotated as the main player, and It was only because of Alves' injury before the World Cup that Danilo was the starting player. In the 17/18 season, he made 23 appearances for Manchester City and provided 3 goals and 1 assist for the team. He currently plays for Manchester City F.C. in England. (PS: In fact, Danilo is superb in terms of technical and physical qualities alone, but his ability to read the game is relatively poor, so he will be pressed on the bench by Delph after Mendy's injury. I hope to add more thinking about football, maybe a big improvement)
Filipe Luís Kasmirski (Filipe Luís Kasmirski) (born 9 August 1985 in Jaraguá do Sul, Brazil) is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a left-back. Debuting in Feguerens, he has a strong offensive consciousness as a full-back, and his cross from the front and back is also very accurate. Joining Chelsea in 14 years, but unable to compete with Azpilicueta in the same position, as well as the importance of manager Jose Mourinho on defense, Philippe could not find his place, and returned to his former club Atletico the following year. He made 15 appearances for Chelsea in the 14/15 season. He currently plays for Atletico Madrid. (PS: Or Atletico's system is more suitable for Felipe, from the age point of view may be his last World Cup, hope to have a good performance)
Fernandinho (full name Fernando Luis Roza) (born 4 May 1985 in Londrina, Brazil) is a Brazilian footballer who also plays as a full-back/full-back. Debuting at Atlético Parana, an all-rounder in the backcourt, compared to the Brazilian compatriot Fernando introduced by Manchester City at the same time, the bird is stronger than the ball quotient and the ability to read the game is extremely strong. The performance under Pei Gong may not be obvious, but the arrival of Guardiola confirms the core status of the Asuka, as the team's offensive and defensive metronome, even at the age of 33, it is still an indispensable member of the team. He scored 17 goals and 15 assists in 165 appearances for City in the 13/14-17/18 season. He currently plays for Manchester City F.C. in the Premier League. (PS: As a back-up player, Asuka has excellent ability to shoot and shoot from a distance, and believes that there will be more opportunities to play in the case of Brazil's inability to play)
Paulinho (born 25 July 1988 in São Paulo, Brazil) is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a centre-back/defender. Debuting in São Paulo Odax, as an old friend of Chinese fans, his technical ability is believed to be obvious to everyone, and the free man in the midfield is a long-range shot on the back. In fact, when he joined Tottenham, his performance was not bad, but head coach Pochettino liked Dale and Dembele more, and then the violent bird became a victim. He scored 6 goals and 3 assists in 45 appearances for the team in the 13/14-14/15 season. He currently plays for FC Barcelona in La Liga. (PS: The choice to come to the Chinese Super League has made Paulinho now, playing more freely and openly in the Chinese Super League, and using him as the core of the midfield to build tactics has made him regain his former feelings. Looking forward to a better performance in this World Cup)
Philippe Coutinho (born 12 June 1992 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) is a Brazilian footballer who plays both as a central defender and striker. Debuting in Vasco da Gama, Coutinho, known as the "Little Magician", has excellent foot technique and passing vision as a free man in the front, as well as a long-range shot along the edge of the penalty area. As the core player of Liverpool's post-Suja era, he often stepped forward when the team could not open the situation. He scored 41 goals and 37 assists in 152 appearances for Liverpool in the 12/13-17/18 season. He currently plays for FC Barcelona in La Liga. (PS: personally feel that it is the 10th player in the true sense, in fact, it should be more up to Coutinho to control the rhythm of the game, although the technical is outstanding, but the physical confrontation is slightly worse, Coutinho has more experience in how to prevent physical confrontation, so that he can effectively reduce the loss of Neymar by controlling the ball)
Willian Borges da Silva (born 9 August 1988 in Riberang Piris, Brazil) is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a forward/forward/winger. Debuting in Corinthians, as another free man in the frontcourt, Willian's foot technology and speed are outstanding, the most rare thing is that he has a certain physical confrontation ability, even if he is forced by multiple people, he can divide the ball in time. Chelsea made 166 appearances in the 13/14-17/18 season and provided 25 goals and 25 assists. He currently plays for Chelsea F.C. in the Premier League. (PS: In fact, in terms of ability alone, it is not worse than the inside, but Willian's no-ball ability is weak, and his running position is mostly unable to open up the gap for his teammates. When there is a ball on the foot, it occasionally appears to be more exclusive, and the editor feels that Willian is more suitable to play as a substitute, and the existing position can be replaced by Costa)
Roberto Firmino (born 2 October 1991 in Marseille, Brazil) is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a winger and forward. Debuting in CR Brazil, as a striker player, he pays more attention to the interests of the team when facing opportunities, and will pass the ball to teammates with better opportunities, which is rare and valuable, and it is even more rare for the technical characteristics of this Brazilian team now. After the baptism of the Bundesliga and the Premier League, the physical confrontation also has a good appearance, and overall it is a comprehensive striker. 15/16-17/18 season provided 36 goals and 25 assists in 103 appearances for Liverpool. He currently plays for Liverpool F.C. in the Premier League. (PS: a player whose strength is greater than his fame, Firmino's technical characteristics are very practical and not fancy, as a single arrow can also be pulled to the wing to create space for teammates, in fact, you can consider letting him play the starter)
Gabriel Jesus (born 3 April 1997 in São Paulo, Brazil) is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a striker as well as a winger. Debuted in Palmeiras, at the club level more with a single arrow in the front, extremely fast, amazing explosiveness, for the sense of smell in front of the goal is extremely sensitive, is a more typical point-grabbing striker. Since the existence of Akun is more of a rotational play, in fact, from the perspective of Guardiola's system alone, the little Jesus is the more suitable one. He scored 20 goals and eight assists in 39 appearances for City in the 16/17-17/18 season. He currently plays for Manchester City F.C. in the Premier League. (PS: One of my favorite strikers is a really talented player who became famous at a young age. At this stage, the more obvious shortcoming is that the ability to have the ball is worse than the ability to have no ball, and Jesus' strength when running without the ball is slightly immature when attacking with the ball. If this can be reinforced, it may become one of the best strikers of the next era)
Costa Rica (PS: Playing for fewer Premier League players, so not a separate chapter)
Bryan Oviedo (born 18 February 1990 in Alajuela, Costa Rica) is a Costa Rican footballer who plays as a left-back as well as a right-back and a wing-back. Debuted in Sapriza, he joined Everton in the Premier League for 4.05 million in 12 years. He made 50 appearances for Everton in 12/13-16/17 and served 2 goals and 3 assists in 16/17 and 10 appearances for Sunderland in 16/17. He currently plays for Everton F.C. in the Premier League. (PS: As a left-back on the field, if you play or will face Willian, expect to have a good performance)
Cristian Gamboa (born 24 October 1989 in Costa Rica) is a Costa Rican footballer who plays as a right-back. Debuted in Águilas, he joined West Brom for 2.16 million in 14 years. 14/15-15/16 season provided 1 assist for 11 appearances for West Brom. He currently plays for Celtic FC in the Soviet Premier League.
Joel Campbell (born 26 June 1992 in San José, Costa Rica) is a Costa Rican footballer who plays as a striker and also plays as a winger. Debuting in Sapriza, he joined Arsenal for 900,000 yuan in 11 years, and has been rented out to various clubs since then, and there are not many opportunities to play for Arsenal. He scored 3 goals and 3 assists in 23 appearances for Arsenal in the 14/15-15/16 season. He is currently on loan for Real Betis F.C. in La Liga. (PS: As the biggest star in the Costa Rica squad, as the arrow character on the counterattack, expect a good performance)
Bryan Ruíz (born 18 August 1985 in San José, Costa Rica) is a Costa Rican professional footballer. Captains on the pitch, as strikers, can also be both forwards and wingers. As an all-rounder in the front, Ruiz is not very fast, but he has excellent technique at his feet and a wide range of passing vision. Joining Fulham in 2011 for $10.8 million, as the team's No. 10 player, his ability to comb the offense and pass threatening balls is evident. He scored eight goals and six assists in 68 appearances for Fulham in the 11/12-13/14 season. He currently plays for Sporting Lisbon F.C. in the Portuguese Premier League. (PS: One of the favorite players in the Costa Rican squad, the ball is flowing, there was a bit of a shadow of Portuguese superstar Rui Costa, looking forward to Ruiz's passing ability to create more opportunities for Costa Rica)
Summary: Brazil's lineup thickness is completely complete, arrange to play double striker Jesus Garfermino, a strong ability to do the ball and a strong run without the ball is complementary, left and right can be arranged less and Coutinho, the midfield can be arranged "Fat Tiger" and violent bird / bird combination. Five-star Brazil, fighting for the Hercules Cup, cheering up the Samba Legion ~ (PS: add a Brazilian three-less figure at the end)
