Brazil vs Bolivia Copa America Preview
Brazil have won the Copa America eight times, the third-most behind Uruguay (15) and Argentina (14). Since a stretch of dominance that saw them win five Copa Americas and a pair of World Cup titles from 1989 to 2007, they haven’t won either tournament.
They’ll be playing without striker Neymar, who suffered an ankle injury in a 2-0 friendly victory over Qatar. The Paris Saint-Germain star is under police investigation following a rape allegation against him.
“My feelings [in relation to Neymar] is of concern for the human side and for him to be in good health,” Brazil head coach Tite said, according to Yahoo Sports.
“And second, I have concern and regret not having a player of his quality, he is a top-three player in the world. For me, apart from Messi and Ronaldo, he compares to [Eden] Hazard, but he has an advantage over Hazard, they think the same way, but he [Neymar] runs the plays faster.
“He is the player that we ask for. I’m talking about the athlete, not all the other circumstances behind it. I told him that. And that’s my opinion.”
Four days after the win over Qatar, Brazil crushed Honduras 7-0 in another tune-up.
Selecao defender Thiago Silva called on attacking midfielder Philippe Coutinho to step up in Neymar’s absence.
“The collective game comes first. Coutinho had a difficult season in Barcelona,” Silva said, according to Goal.com. “It was demanding and they booed him many times, but here in the team he is our reference, especially when we don’t have Neymar.
“Coutinho calls for the game. In the two friendlies we played he was the best player on the pitch, not only because of passes and goals, but also with his defense. He is finding his happiness again.”
Silva added: “We need him, especially now with the absence of Neymar.”
Bolivia won the Copa America once, in 1963, and returned to the final in 1997. But since then, they’ve advanced past the first round just once, reaching the quarter-finals in 2015.
La Verde fell to France 2-0 in a warm-up friendly on June 2.
“From the first minute and right through to the end of the match, it was a great apprenticeship for us,” Bolivia head coach Eduardo Villegas said, according to the Ligue 1 website. “My conclusion is simple: we learnt a lot tonight. Our opponents forced us to make a huge effort, bigger than we expected, and early on our response was stress and imprecision. But after that, as the match played out, we started to find space and hit our straps. We created chances.”
