Midfielder Allan, which this Friday replaced Casemiro, absent due to covid-19, in the triumph of Brazil against Venezuela for the South American qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, he guaranteed that, due to the quality of the cast, next Tuesday they will play a “great game” against Uruguay, in Montevideo.
“It will be a very difficult game. They have a very qualified team,” but “we know our quality and we can play a great game,” said the English Everton player in the mixed zone at the end of the match against Vinotinto.
Allan started at the Morumbí stadium in Sao Paulo to replace the Real Madrid player Casemiro, absent in this call from Canarinha after testing positive for covid-19, although he had a fairly discreet performance, like the rest of his teammates.
The midfielder defended himself by saying that he was “a tight-knit adversary” and that it was a game in which “patience” was essential to achieve victory.
“Thank God we got the goal and won three important points,” he said.
In his opinion, the duel against Celeste, which won Colombia 0-3 this Friday, will be “completely different” because the Uruguayans “will go a little” more on the attack and “can leave more space” in defense.
Brazil will come to that match with full victories after three rounds of the South American qualifying rounds played and a solo leader, with two points ahead of Argentina, second classified.
