00:00Brazil and Norway, in the round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup.
00:04Sparks are about to fly.
00:06And I'm sure that a specific duel between two players
00:11This match is going to be intense.
00:13I'm talking about the duel between Gabriel Magalhães,
00:16defender for the Brazilian national team, and also for Arsenal,
00:20against Haaland, the Norwegian center forward who also plays for Manchester City.
00:25The two players already have a long history of feuds in the Premier League.
00:30The idea is to throw the ball at Gabriel Magalhães' head from behind.
00:34after scoring a goal.
00:35Gabriel Magalhães, after scoring a goal in Arsenal's rout.
00:39Regarding Manchester City, to celebrate, to shout right in Haaland's face.
00:43So, this Round of 16 match is definitely going to be a hot topic.
00:50Because they are two tall, physically strong players,
00:54and those who enjoy this confrontation, enjoy the hard tackle,
00:59They enjoy physical and bodily competition.
01:02So, we can pay close attention to these two players.
01:07And it is precisely there that one marks the other.
01:10Haaland is a striker, a center forward who plays in the penalty area.
01:13that guy who likes to score goals,
01:15that guy who can sometimes be more or less asleep during the game,
01:19But you can't let your guard down with him, because he always goes there and leaves his mark.
01:23And Gabriel Magalhães is our center-back.
01:25In my opinion, they are having a reasonably good World Cup.
01:29He's not been a standout player for the Brazilian national team.
01:32But it's doing its job well.
01:34And now he has this gigantic challenge ahead of him.
01:37The last time the two faced each other in the Premier League,
01:41the last meeting between these two,
01:43It was during a Haaland victory,
01:47a victory for Manchester City,
01:48where the Norwegian striker scored the winning goal,
01:52and then, at a certain point in the game,
01:54As always, many physical duels.
01:57There was a lot of physical strength between the two.
02:00many tough arrivals,
02:02Haaland and Gabriel Magalhães almost touched foreheads.
02:07They finally came to face each other.
02:11And then, after the match,
02:12Haaland made a statement saying that
02:15if he made a scene,
02:17if he made some wax there,
02:18fell to the ground, with his hand on his face,
02:21Gabriel would be sent off from the game.
02:23And Gabriel Magalhães should thank him for that.
02:26because he was tough, as they say,
02:29and maintained his posture there,
02:32He continued the physical confrontation with Gabriel Magalhães there.
02:35And furthermore,
02:36The Norwegian also showed various parts of his body.
02:39scratched by duels against the Brazilian defender.
02:43In my opinion, as I said before,
02:46This duel is going to be intense!
02:47There's no way around it, it won't be any different.
02:49But there's a catch,
02:50This time it's for the World Cup.
02:52So, the two players are representing
02:55each to their own selection,
02:56and they won't want to, for example,
02:58to be sent off in a match like that.
03:00Or perhaps one will be expelled before the other.
03:03So, I think they will.
03:04to be a little more restrained,
03:07But they're going to keep coming hard.
03:10They will continue to rely heavily on physical strength.
03:13And I think the fans are the ones who benefit from this.
03:15because you're going to see a show,
03:17both as an attacker,
03:18Haaland's Comet, as they say,
03:20a striker who is top-tier
03:23of world football,
03:25and a defender too,
03:26that we can say, yes,
03:27which is also on that same shelf.
03:30So, fans,
03:31Pay attention to this clash over there,
03:33because it's going to catch fire,
03:35I'm sure of it.
