The Selecao of Fernando Diniz, which left a good taste in the mouth in its debut with the ‘small hand’ (5-1) that it inflicted on Bolivia on Friday, will be tested this coming morning (at 04:00 CEST) in the always complicated and demanding scenario like facing Peru in Lima. The duel is part of the second day of the South American qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.
The Brazilian coach, who is highly praised by his own students and the press of his country, will continue with the same starting eleven that he destroyed Verde, in a match where the Seleçao broke their own ball possession record with 80%.
Raphinha (from scoring a goal, providing assistance and actively participating in its construction) will continue to occupy the right side. His final performance, with ‘7 behind him, was very convincing. This new appointment is a great opportunity for the Blaugrana to establish themselves in the ‘canarinha’ at the start of a new project that is generating excitement.
The madridista Rodrygo (who scored a ‘double’ against La Verde) is in a position that is natural for him but forbidden by Real Madrid: left winger, since Vinicius Jr. injured he remained training in Madrid.
And above, Richarlison, who is still fighting for the goal, remains in the ‘9’ position. Supplying the offensive trio, he Neymar Jr. again plays ’10’ with full power to give freedom to his creation.
This is his second consecutive appearance after nearly seven months of inactivity due to a right ankle injury. The former PSG player, who has yet to make his debut with Al-Hilal, has excelled Pele with his two goals and became the greatest scorer of the ‘canarinha’ according to the accounts of FIFA.
For its part, Peru, currently led by Juan Reynoso, will bet all its chips on the filling job. to try to stop the offensive trouble that Diniz prints your teams. With the new coach there is no possibility to play at half speed, it is always all or nothing.
Bicolor, with the support of the stands of a full National Stadium, is not exciting. It came from the start of a 0-0 with Paraguay in a match where it was ineffective in the build-up and hardly created any danger. If he wants to score against Brazil he will have to contribute more.
