There is no victory on the day, Brazil is very determined in the match against Costa Rica in the match tonight. Neymar may not play but Tite is not worried. In his hands there are still many who can replace.
The plan was to take Jesus to the highest stone, while Coutinho defender Fernandinho midfield. Costa Rica is strong in the defense and if you want to break through, Brazil needs creativity in play.
With Costa Rica, they are forced to score in this match to hope to win tickets to go. The unfortunate defeat to Serbia has put the team in a difficult position. When faced with Brazil, Costa Rica certainly needs a perfect match to get the best results.
