Carlo Ancelotti's Brazil has secured the knockout stage as group champions by beating Scotland 3-0. In the next round, they will face the runner-up team of Group 'F' as their opponent. Where Brazil's possible opponents are - Netherlands, Japan and Sweden.
The fate of Brazil's opponent depends on the last two matches of Group 'F'. But who does the Brazil boss want among these three teams? The Italian mastermind faced such a question at the press conference after the Scotland match.
Ancelotti, respecting the three potential opponents equally, said, 'All three potential opponents play very high-quality football. If we talk about the Netherlands, their experience is richer than Japan. On the other hand, Japan has shown its strength by performing well in the friendlies before the World Cup.’
He added, ‘And speaking of Sweden, they have great potential and diversity in their attack. So, nothing can be said in advance. Let’s see what happens in the end.’
According to statistics and football experts, Asian powerhouse Japan is currently the frontrunner in the race to face Brazil in the Group ‘F’ equation. However, it will be confirmed only after the Netherlands vs. Tunisia and Japan vs. Sweden matches to be held tonight, which team will face Ancelotti’s five-time world champions in the last 32 festival to be held in Houston.
