The Brazil-Belgium match is like the final before the final, Latest Football News

The campaign of the Brazilian World Cup was dominated by discussions on Neymar and the histrionic.

Players and coaches, ex-players, experts, journalists and fans all have their say. the theatrical falls, the look of utter agony when he rolls on the floor.

The consensus was that Neymar played too much game and he takes away the performance of his teammates.

Former internationals Marcel Desailly and Damien Duff went further, accusing him of playing for himself.

I am not quite sure that they are right.

Of course, Neymar likes to be

I am not a fan of his theatricality, that 's not how I like that we play football.

But rather than playing for himself, I think he could actually help his team.

Frustration With Neymar, they can lose their concentration, which can create an advantage for Brazil.

Take the victory of Brazil in the second round on Mexico. Even before the match, Andres Guardado, captain of El Tri, was talking about Neymar's tendency to "exaggerate the faults"

It was perhaps a sign that they were a little too concerned about Neymar. Their reactions to his antics on the ground do not suggest the opposite.

Tomorrow morning (Singapore time), Belgium will pose in Brazil Neymar a challenge much more difficult than Mexico.

It may only be a quarterfinal match The match resembles the final before the final. The winners have a great chance of winning the World Cup. Belgium and Brazil are the two best teams in Russia, alongside France.

• Brazil wins 1-0
  "Belgium is a quality team, but did not play very well against Japan in the round of 16. Brazil will do just enough to win 1-0.
  – The Thai international Therdsak Chaiman

  Belgium wins 2-1
  "Belgium came back to beat Japan 3-2, which shows how good they are." Brazil is also on the bright side, but it was not as impressive Eden Hazard could make the difference. "
  – Tampa defender Irfan Najeeb

Coach Roberto Martinez of Belgium said that he was the only one in the world. they were underdogs, but I think if the Red Devils learn from the mistakes of their last-16 return to Japan, they can beat Brazil.

Left-back Yannick Carrasco was their worst player against the Samurai Blue and it will be a mistake to throw it against Brazil Martinez should also f area of ​​changes in the midfield.

Kevin de Bruyne does not play as well as Manchester City because he is too deep and he fights a bit with the defensive responsibilities of the position

. Martinez should allow him to take the place of Dries Mertens alongside Eden Hazard.

Thus, Marouane Fellaini can take her place in the middle of the midfield, alongside Axel Witsel. Belgium will need two selection players against Brazil.

Brazil has a formidable attack from Neymar, Willian, Gabriel Jesus and Philippe Coutinho, but Belgium can thwart them if they defend themselves as a team and avoid mistakes made against Japan.

Because, make no mistake, there is no return of 2-0 against Brazil.
