On July 12, the first medalist of the World Cup will be determined in Brazil. In the game for the bronze medals, the national teams of Brazil and the Netherlands will converge. The starting lineup of Luis Filipe Scolari's charges has become known.
A few hours before the start of the match for third place at the World Cup in Brazil, we can already talk about the starting lineup of the five-time world champions.
The head coach of the Brazilians, Luis Filipe Scolari, wished to see the following players on the field wearing the jerseys of the national team. So, one of the best Brazilian goalkeepers of recent years, Julio Cesar, will take a place in the goal.
The defense of the pentacampions is as follows. Captain Thiago Silva returns to the center of defense, having missed the semifinal match due to disqualification. He is paired with David Louis. Along the edges of the defense, Maicon and Marcelo, right and left, respectively. By the end of the championship, a long-term veteran of the Brazilians, Maicon, finally ousted Dani Alves from the starting lineup.
In the middle line, it is planned to enter the field of the next football players. Luis Gustavo, Fernandinho, Bernard. We can say that Oscar and Hulk will provide assistance in the center of the field, who will also be engaged in constructive play in the front line. A pronounced "tip" is put forward on the edge - Fred. Despite the fact that only the lazy does not criticize Scolari, the head coach of the Brazilians continues to stubbornly put Fred at the forefront of the attack of the five-time world champions. It is quite possible that the specialist simply has no one else to put in the starting line-up. One of the main goalscorers of the Brazilians, Neymar, continues his treatment after an injury received at the very end of the match with Colombia in the quarterfinals. Therefore, the audience will not see this talented player on the field again.
It is worth mentioning that the starting line-up may change immediately before the start of the match. For example, if someone is injured during the pre-match warm-up.
