After last month’s turbulent round of World Cup qualification matches, for their next games Brazil can boast a full squad and a clear objective: booking their ticket for Qatar.
Covid was largely to blame for both issues, with English clubs refusing to release their players due to quarantine obligations — a matter that has since been resolved between the British and Brazilian governments. “I was very difficult, I was very frustrated. Of course, I was hoping until the last minute that I could come,” Raphinha said about the experience.
Brazil lead the single South American qualifying table by six points from Argentina and their in-form Lionel Messi, who last week opened his account for Paris Saint-Germain with a wonder goal to seal a 2-0 Champions League win over Manchester City. “I’m a bit worried about these matches,” admitted Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni, who has to make do without injured forwards Sergio Aguero and Paulo Dybala.Like Brazil, Copa America champions Argentina’s qualification looks to be a formality but the battle behind them for the remaining two places is fierce.
