The second half begins!
Facing Uruguay's intensified defense.
Brazil simply couldn't make a dent in Uruguay's penalty area!
Lacking offensive power!
This is the most important problem for the Brazilian team right now!
We can't rely on Neymar for everything!
Once the opponent focuses their efforts on Brazil, defeat is only a matter of time.
Head coach Dunga clearly realized this as well!
In addition to bringing on Coutinho as a substitute, they also substituted in a 36-year-old veteran, Oliveira.
But the effect was minimal!
Aside from Coutinho's long-range shots, which posed a threat, Oliveira's presence was almost negligible.
In the 58th minute, Pereira crossed the ball!
David Luiz's header back pass went astray!
Suarez broke into the left side of the penalty area and scored with a low shot from a tight angle!
2-2!
Uruguay has equalized!
Brazil's diminutive forwards seemed somewhat helpless against the opponent's defensive wall and physical tactics.
At this moment, all the Brazilian fans watching the game are reminiscing.
Remembering the invincible Romario and Ronaldo of the Brazilian team in the past!
The match continued, and Suarez and Neymar both received yellow cards.
As time went on, the focus shifted to the two goalkeepers!
In the 78th minute, Suarez's free kick was blocked, and his subsequent follow-up shot was also saved by Alisson.
In the 86th minute, Luiz headed the ball back to Suarez, who broke into the penalty area and volleyed it, but Alisson made the save!
Two minutes later, Brazil launched a swift counterattack!
Coutinho was brought down by his opponent!
Neymar takes a free kick and shoots!
Uruguayan goalkeeper Muslera made a last-minute save.
The match ended in a 2-2 draw between Brazil and Uruguay, with Brazil unfortunately missing the opportunity to win.
Andy watched the entire game.
Brazil's problems are huge!
The most fundamental problem is that there is no successor!
Although Dunga called up Kaká, it's impossible to expect a veteran nearing retirement to step up and lead the team.
Besides, it's Brazil, the most chaotic country!
Thinking about this, Andy's heart was filled with anticipation!
Since everything is in ruins and needs to be rebuilt.
Why can't I be the successor?
The journey to becoming the head of the Brazilian national team must be very interesting!
The day after the match, Andy invited Neymar and David Luiz to travel to São Paulo state together.
Against Uruguay, both players were suspended due to accumulated yellow cards, prematurely ending their time with the national team.
The three landed on a private plane and traveled from São Paulo Airport to Puerto Felice.
Inside the car, David Louis, his face full of disbelief, asked loudly in a questioning tone.
"What did you say?"
"Flora Manor belongs to your family?"
Neymar, however, seemed unsurprised.
"My friend!What's so surprising?His grandfather was President Lula!"
"What?"
"Say that again?"
David Louis was completely flustered!
Leaving aside the president's family.
Flora Estate covers a total area of 12 million square meters.
The total value of the houses is a staggering 300 million reais!
It boasts facilities including an equestrian arena, sports center, helipad, and medical center.
There are also artificial beaches designed specifically for surfing!
As the vehicle entered the manor gates, the heavily armed security personnel provided a strong sense of security.
Flora was already waiting at the entrance of the main building!
After picking up the three people, I walked with them, explaining the building's history and stories.
"Brother, your family is incredibly wealthy!"
"I've really seen something new today."
Andy shook his head, inwardly grumbling.
Not only you guys, but this is the first time I've ever seen this myself!
If I had known my family was so rich, I would have bought a club and become the boss myself!
However, Andy soon got the answer when he had a private conversation with his mother.
Flora only has the right to use and manage the estate, not the right to own it.
Apart from Flora's own company, the rest are family businesses.
It was only because the company had improved in recent years that she was able to meet Andy.
But there was no way to take Andy back to the family to meet their relatives.
"Mom, fine, I won't see them!I don't even know them, why should I fawn over them?"
Flora chuckled after hearing this.
To her, Andy's description sounded somewhat funny.
"Son, the reason Mom supports you playing football is not only because you're my son."
"Another reason is that we hope we can recognize each other openly and legitimately!"
"Your maternal grandfather.was able to acknowledge your identity because of your talent in football."
Andy was somewhat puzzled.
What does this have to do with playing football?
Flora sighed.
"Brazil cannot develop without the help of China."
"Your special status played a significant role, and you also know."
"The Brazilians' passion for football!"
"Once his descendants can lead Brazil back to its peak."
"Then it will play a decisive role in your grandfather's political career!"
After listening to his mother's words, Andy finally understood the intricacies of the situation.
Besides that, there is another important thing.
Flora is actually an illegitimate child!
The reason he has been restricted from his freedom for so many years is because someone in his family is afraid that Lula will be caught in a compromising situation by his political enemies!
However, Flora did not tell Andy about this.
She knew her son's temperament very well.
I can't let my own affairs affect Andy's future.
For the next two days, Andy, Neymar, and David Luiz began their vacation.
However, Andyra would bring both of them to the court for extra practice every day.
On the night before leaving, the Brazilian team played an away game against Paraguay.
The three sat on the beach, watching the game projected onto a giant screen.
Gil, a center-back from Shandong Luneng, replaces the big man.Wei Luis's position partner is Miranda.
Veteran Oliveira, who was virtually invisible in the last match, replaced Neymar.
If Neymar's Brazilian team is the worst ever!
Then Brazil without Neymar is the worst of the worst!
In the 39th minute, Paraguay launched an attack.
After a cross from the left, striker Santa Cruz made a quick decision at the near post!
Lescano, unmarked at the far post, pounced on the loose ball and scored!
Paraguay 1-0 Brazil!
It's worth mentioning that Lescano's entire run, from his initial run to his shot, was remarkably effortless.
Head coach Dunga watched from the sidelines, shaking his head in disbelief!
In the second half, Hulk replaced Fernandinho to try and strengthen the attack.
But just three minutes later.
Benitez surged forward and slotted the ball home to give Paraguay a 2-0 lead over Brazil!
The two sides then engaged in a chaotic battle!
Until the 80th minute, center-back Gil intercepted the ball in the backfield and launched a counter-attack!
Hulk's long-range shot was saved by the goalkeeper!
Oliveira scored on a rebound to pull one back.
When regulation time ended, Brazil was still trailing by one goal.
David Louis picked up his beer, feeling dejected.
"There's no time left."
Neymar waved his hand, "There's still a chance!"
"That's right!Let's just get to the restricted area and get on with it!"
As soon as Andy finished speaking, William made a cross from the right wing!
Alves broke into the right side of the penalty area, adjusted his position, and curled a left-footed shot into the far post!
"nice shot!"
The three of them hugged each other excitedly!
"Yes!Let's restart the game right away!Maybe we can score another one!"
Just as expected!
Brazil almost took the lead in the last minute of stoppage time!
Paraguayan goalkeeper Villar made a brilliant save to deny Oliveira's one-on-one chance!
Ultimately, the two sides shook hands and made peace.
During the international break, Brazil secured two consecutive draws.
Andy couldn't help but sigh:
Brazil's strength is truly a mystery!
It becomes stronger when facing stronger opponents, and weaker when facing weaker opponents.
You think he's guaranteed to win, but he'll either lose or draw.
