One of the candidates to win this year's Copa América will make its debut on Sunday, when Brazil faces Perú at Germán Becker Stadium in Temuco. Fans have not forgotten about the Brazilians disappointing display last year, and even if Coach Dunga hasn't been defeated in his second stint as Brazil's manager, this is when things will get tough. Perú on the other hand arrives to this match as the proverbial victim, but it won't be easy for Neymar & Co. to bag all the points.
This version of Brazil's National Team lacks the flamboyance, the "jogo bonito" displayed throughout their winning history. Instead, coach Dunga called up some hard-workers in midfield, in order to bring balance to a harshly criticized team. It is no secret that La Seleçao will depend highly on what Neymar can do on the pitch, but if Barcelona's star is not having a good day, Chelsea's Willian and Liverpool's Phillippe Coutinho will have to emerge to lead La Canarinha. Right back Dani Alves, called up after Danilo came down with an injury, will also be trying to redeem himself after a disappointing performance last summer.
For Perú, winning a point against the Brazilians would be excellent. Coach Ricardo Gareca has shown his team can adapt to whatever opponent they face, and Sunday's match may prove it. Striker Paolo Guerrero is fully fit to play, after a number of injuries that prevented him of starting their latest friendly matches. Against Brazil, Guerrero, Jefferson Farfán and Juan Vargas will be the ones in charge of creating scoring chances for La Bicolor, and who knows, maybe with a little luck, they could end up shocking Brazil.
