Brazil and Argentina to forget the Sao Paulo incident in the Peru and Bolivia matches

Tomorrow, the South American qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup will resume in the last round of this international window, after the controversy over the participation of professional players in Europe and the incident of suspending the Brazil-Argentina match.

After the fans were prevented from facing the two Paris Saint-Germain rivals Neymar and Lionel Messi shortly after the surreal suspension of the match due to health protocols in Sao Paulo, fans of the two teams will watch their two stars again as they play the confrontations of Brazil against Peru and Argentina against Bolivia.

Meanwhile, the Brazilian police have opened an investigation to see if the four Argentine Premier League players (Giovanni Lo Celso and Christian Romero (Tottenham), Emiliano Martinez (Arsenal) and Emiliano Buendia (Aston Villa)) had provided "false information" on their entry form. to Brazil, and did not declare their stay in the United Kingdom during the 14 days prior to their arrival. The International Football Association Board (FIFA) has not decided the fate of that match yet, whether it will be held at a later time within an already crowded calendar, or announcing the victory of one of the teams 3-0. But in whose favor will the decision be?

Indomitable Brazil in Peru

Brazil, which leads the only group in South America with a full score with 21 points from seven matches, and deprived of nine players in the Premier League prevented by their clubs from joining the national team, has to rely in Lima on the attacking duo Neymar-Gabriel Barbosa (Gabigol) ), with support from Everton Ribeiro and Lucas Paqueta, who stood out for several minutes in Sao Paulo before the match was stopped.

Marquinhos will not be there.

After being suspended against Argentina, the Saint-Germain player could theoretically return, but not before the fate of the Brazil-Argentina match is decided.

Argentina and Bolivia

celebrate

Against Bolivia, who have six points in ninth and a rather fragile side, Argentina also want to forget about the Sao Paulo incident and consolidate their position in second place, which they currently occupy with 15 points.

Messi's companions especially want to give the opportunity to the fans finally returning to the stands (30 percent of the capacity of the Monumental Stadium in Buenos Aires, or nearly 21,000 fans) to celebrate the Copa America that "Albe Celeste" won last July, ending 28 years of title drought. .

Thus, Messi will be able to enjoy winning his first major title at the age of 34, after four failures in the finals of international competitions (Copa America 2007, 2015, 2016 and the 2014 World Cup). They return to England.
