00:00Hello Lance friends, Monday, June 8th, marked the start of the World Cup opening week with some news.
00:06in the Brazilian national team,
00:07Atalanta midfielder Ederson arrived here in New Jersey on Monday morning and is already with the
00:14Brazilian national team
00:15And also, morning is important because it's Neymar's MRI scan to see if he'll be able to play.
00:21to go back to training with the ball.
00:22That's right, Neymar already had an MRI scan on Monday, probably at the same clinic as Wesley.
00:29He also played yesterday, but ended up being cut from the squad to make way for Ederson's arrival.
00:32The result hasn't been released by the CBF yet, but we believe we'll have some news hours or minutes before.
00:39before the press conference, actually
00:41What will happen with Bruno Guimarães today? Bruno Guimarães will speak to the press on Monday, and then...
00:47We have a positive outlook.
00:48If all the information from the MRI comes back clear and everything is okay with Neymar, he should be showing up there this afternoon.
00:54in the field to do an activity together with the group,
00:58In quotes, he should do that activity over there, playing ball, start doing some sprints, go for a little run,
01:06anyway,
01:06But at least he'll be in the field because since we arrived in the United States we haven't seen him.
01:10Neymar still,
01:12We saw some photos of Neymar, but personally we haven't had any contact with Neymar since we...
01:18It arrived here in the United States.
01:20Just a reminder that the team has been training in the late afternoon, but tomorrow there will even be an earlier training session.
01:26It's been very hot here in Nova GES in the afternoon, but it's worth noting that the team always plays.
01:32there at the World Cup,
01:33The games will be in the late afternoon, early evening, which is why the team has preferred to hold training sessions there.
01:39closer to the game.
01:42The opening match is on Saturday the 13th against Morocco, and Naka was at the stadium here in New York yesterday to...
01:48Follow the friendly match between Morocco and Norway.
01:50So, did the driving scare you?
01:52The game ended in a 1-1 draw; Morocco started better, took the lead, and Norway managed to equalize.
01:58in the second half,
02:00I went specifically to the stadium to take a look at Morocco, to analyze them.
02:04Morocco caught my attention for a few reasons; it doesn't have a high-pressure marking system.
02:12ahead of the opponent,
02:14He gives the ball to the opponent to pass to and plays a lot on the opponent's mistakes.
02:20What caught my attention was the very quick transition from the opponent regaining possession of the ball to the start of the match.
02:27for the attack,
02:27They have a very strong group; they rarely make mistakes with their passes during counter-attacks.
02:34after the resumption,
02:35And their goal actually came about like that, it started on the left side, a ball recovery on the left side,
02:40The ball was played to the right side, for Braem Dias to finish from just outside the penalty area.
02:46a little bit inside the area,
02:47He hit the cross and scored, but it was constantly that play from Morocco, breaking away at speed...
02:53block,
02:54Those were the moments that most frightened Norway, and they also have a certain style over there,
03:00When they are on the flanks of the field, they always try to have a numerical advantage.
03:05They try to play there with a full-back, defensive midfielder, attacking midfielder, and striker, always attempting an infiltration from the middle behind the defenders.
03:12defenders,
03:13For the striker, the midfielder, to have the opportunity to finish in front of the goalkeeper.
03:17It's a team that plays very much in blocks, both defensively and offensively, with very close lines.
03:25Norway had a moment there that reminded me a lot of Brazil, that ball possession there,
03:30passing the ball around, trying to find space, playing as a pivot with Haaland,
03:34which we might try to do with Igor Thiago,
03:37And Norway had a little difficulty before managing to tie the game.
03:41It's worth remembering that Morocco had problems with two players.
03:44He is one of the starting defenders, who may not be fit to play.
03:49Boe Boudaoui, maybe he can't, maybe he'll even be cut from the World Cup.
03:56Morocco was going to release an assessment this afternoon.
03:59So let's go for it, let's see what might happen.
04:01But if Brazil manages to get their marking right,
04:06making too few mistakes, not giving Morocco the opportunity for a quick transition,
04:09I think Brazil can have a very good performance in their World Cup debut.
04:13Yes, but in that regard, Antioch will have to work hard on defense this week.
04:17Because Yanaka said that Morocco doesn't mind giving up the ball.
04:21And we saw it in the friendly against Egypt on Saturday,
04:25that the team played there with high pressure,
04:27but at the moment he launched the counter-attack,
04:29He had difficulties, ended up making mistakes, and ended up suffering a lot.
04:33The team trains every day until Friday.
04:37Friday is the traditional one-minus game.
04:39So, the recognition training will be in Match Life.
04:43Before that, I train every day at the training center here in Morristown.
04:48Keep in mind that in Qatar there wasn't much of this reconnaissance training, right?
04:52The players, usually the captain and the coach, they would give that look,
04:55Sometimes the team would stop by, take a look, but it wasn't training on the playing field.
05:00Let's see if they'll have that 45-minute training session before the game.
05:04And it's close to press conferences, right?
05:06Because the press conferences in Qatar weren't even held at the stadium where the game was being played.
05:09So let's see what the team can do.
05:11The stadium, Match Life, was really nice the day we went there to get accredited.
05:15I hope it's a good debut, that Neymar is on the bench.
05:18Will we have any news today?
05:20Let's see what happens with the team this Monday, June 8th.
05:25Okay, you know, follow all the World Cup news right here on Lance.
05:29Goodbye!
