Brazil vs Chile Match Preview
After two consecutive victories, Chile could taste for the first time in South Africa the bitterness of a defeat. The second position have them took on Brazil this Monday's night, will they be able to send the Verdeamarelhos back home?
Without offering their classical Jogo Bonito, Dunga and his players managed to claim the first position in the Death Group, having won 7 points in three matches. Their last game against Portugal showed how important is Kaka for their strategy, as his skills as a playmaker offer a much needed versatility in the midfield. Marcelo Bielsa has a test of fire waiting ahead, will he and the rest of his squad be able to claim the three points?Chile vs Brazil; We will surely see the first South American fall in South africa
The first two games in South Africa were equally successful for these two teams, as both of them claimed three points and half a ticket to this stage in only one week. One was to expect Brazil would have shown more signs of strength in this competition, but their efficiency was enough to earn them a place in the round of 16.
Chile was helped by their Hondurean brothers, who kept Switzerland from taking their place in this round. Chile had to face Spain the third match and it was clearly shown how tough was it going to be for Marcelo Bielsa's boys to face a real rival. David Villa and Andres Iniesta gave Spain a 2-1 victory against Chile, who could get closer to the Spaniards thanks to Rodrigo Villar in the last minutes, while Brazil could do nothing against Portugal's strong midfield playing.
Marcelo Bielsa will have to find the better formation against the Cariocas, as he'll be unable to count with Waldo Ponce, Gary Medel and Marco Estrada (all of them having received two yellow cards). At least Carlos Carmona will be able to return to the squad, claiming Estrada's place, while Matias Fernandez will be able to join once again Alexis Sanchez in the creativity department. It is clear Brazil is the favorite for this clash, but without more consistency and regularity Dunga's players might be caught off guard by Chile's electric offense.
Ten years ago Chile obtained its last victory against Brazil, during 2002's World Cup Qualifying stage when the Roja wrote history by defeating Brazil 3-0. But the following five matches were a complete disaster: Chile could only score 3 goals while receiving 20. But South America is changing history in South Africa, and after almost 50 years Chile has entered the round of 16. "This match will be a true final for us. There's no chance for mistakes.. Let's hope we have what it takes. Chile has earned global respect, we have shown our strengths and have already made history" were Pablo Contreras' words before this match.Brazil's strikers will have to face Mauricio Isla to get close to Chile's goal. Team's midfielder has been one of the key players in the group stage, recovering balls constantly while retaining a global perspective of the match. Team's captain Claudio Bravo has also been quite secure between the posts, but he knows he will have to stand against beasts of uncanny strength. "We're confident, we've made it up to here and there's no way we want to return to Chile now" were goalkeeper's words.
Kaka's return - Is Bielsa really "Loco"?
Dunga should be cool, calm and collected for this clash, as he'll be able to face Chile at the best possible situation, for the Roja will be lacking its toughest defenders and Brazil will be able to count once again with Kaka -as he has already been sidelined for one match after receiving a red card one week ago, as well as Robinho and Elano, players whose speed and technique offer Brazil a clear edge over any rival. Luis Fabiano will be feeding on their strengths and will be determined to score his third goal in the competition, ready to lead Brazil to the quarter finals.
But not everything is a dream for Brazil's coach, as Felipe Melo's absence will severely weaken their midfield's defense. As long as either Josue or Ramires are able to take over Juventus' midfielder without any problems, Dunga's players will still be the favorites. Maicon and Michael Bastos are Brazil's best players up to the moment, constantly joining Brazil's attacks while assisting the back line whenever needed. It is expected to see Dani Alves enter for the last half of the game, as he's done in the three matches played up to now."You should respect Chile; They're growing and have an excellent squad. They will fight until the last minute to make it to the next round... You should respect Chile" were Dunga's words regarding this match. For this matter we expect to see Brazil adopt its classical strategy, forcing Chile to enter their midfield's trap to finally counter attack and claim the victory. In 65 matches played against each other, Chile has only been able to win in 7 occasions.
This Monday at the Ellis Park Marcelo Bielsa's Boys might be playing their last match in South Africa. They'll have to be as aggressive as possible to claim the upper hand from the first moment, will they succeed?
