4 Things Learn In The FriendlyRussia vs Brazil
Brazil made a comfortable win 3-nil against russia today we're taking a look at the points we can get from the convincing win with less than 100days to the FIFA World cup taking place in russia come june.
1 Coutinho isn't impressing at the left centre midfield :it would be alarming to fc barceona fans and brazil fans that coutinho isnt adapting to the LCM role which isnt good news he has played there a few times under valverde for barca and hasnt flourished but tite also tried to use him there against russia and everyone could see that he was a winger and no LCM.with barcelona fans feeling he's the ideal replacement for andreas iniesta it might no seems so anymore
2 Russia's team set-up is very poor russia lining up in a 5-4-1 meant they had to defend against brazil and counter they are used to the 5 defenders line up which we have seen in the past but now might be the time to start training on a different set up with players like alexamder golovin and smedelov not adapting it obvious they loose their attacking prowess and also miss chances when they counter which shows they should be more balanced
3 Ageing brazil defences will suffer the wrath of a better attack: Yes dani alves 33,marcelo 30, thiago silva 33 means that 3 of 4 defenders of brazils are of old age they might not meet the physical attribute to beat young players at pace test also we saw russia's counter attack tie by time and if it were a better team would have scored 2-3 goals this might comeback to hurt them and bringing up a repeat of thrashing like as the last world cup
4Summer 2018 is alisson's summer :yes the keeper and been in great form but he keeps uping his perfrmances gmae by game and doesnt seem like slowing down.already linked with real madrid and liverpool he'll sure be a name that would be fought for during the summer by big european clubs
