As part of the first match of the America's Cup, the players of the national teams of Brazil and Venezuela will play. Will "selesao" be able to start this tournament on a high note?
Brazil
At the last moment, the Brazilians still agreed to play in the Copa America, although until that moment it was not clear how serious their intentions were to refuse to participate in the championship. It is worth noting that before the America's Cup, the pentacampeons managed to hold two matches in the qualifying tournament for the 2022 World Cup, where they defeated the teams of Ecuador and Paraguay with the same score 2:0. In both games, the difference was made by Neymar, who both scored goals and assisted his partners. The Brazilian national team has assembled the absolute best squad for the tournament, where in addition to Neymar, you can see such guys as Alisson, Firmino, Vinicius and Marquinhos.
Venezuela
As for the national team of Venezuela, this team was immediately going to perform at the Copa. In early June, the Venezuelans, like their current opponent, played two games in qualifying for the 2022 World Cup. It is worth noting that the results could not fail to impress. In the middle of the week, the team of Jose Pereyro was able to take away points from Uruguay (0: 0), but before that they lost to Bolivia (1:3). In addition, in the first three matches of the selection, Venezuela also did not score a single point, losing to Colombia, Paraguay and Brazil.
