Today, all eyes are on the summit of Group G between Brazil and Switzerland, the winners of the first round against Serbia and Cameroon, and it is expected that more focus will be placed on the star of the “samba” attack, Richarlison, who stole the spotlight from everyone in the Serbia meeting, and ensured that Brazil scored a brace, between them a wonderful scissor goal.

In the absence of prominent names, headed by Neymar, who has a sprained ankle, as well as Anthony, Richarlison will bear the task of deciphering the Swiss defense at Stadium 974, which includes the goalkeeper who specializes in saves, Jan Sommer.

Brazil coach Tite will have many options, such as Vinicius, Gabriel Jesus, Rafaigna, Gabriel Martinelli and Rodrigo.

Switzerland, the winner, opened against Cameroon with the goal of Brill Embolo, a goalkeeper who destroyed the Spaniard Sergio Ramos when he stopped two penalty kicks for the veteran defender in one night in the European Nations League (1-1 in November 2020).

At the club level, the former goalkeeper of the Swiss club Basel set a record with 19 saves against Bayern Munich at the end of August (1-1 in the league), with a large difference of five saves from the previous record.

Switzerland has other big stars like Xhaka and Rodriguez.
