The Selecao received a warm welcome from the locals ahead of their Copa America quarter-final clash with Paraguay on Saturday
Brazil have arrived in Concepcion for their Copa America quarter-final clash with Paraguay at the Ester Roa on Friday. The delegation landed in the Chilean port city at around 22:00 and were greeted by over a hundred local fans.
There were some friendly jibes upon their arrival, with chants for Argentina captain “Messi, Messi,” and “Neymar, Neymar,” after the Selecao’s own captain left the squad following a suspension that has ruled him
out of the remainder of the tournament.
The ubiquitous “Chi, Chi, Chi, le, le, le” chant also rang out after the hosts booked their place in the semi-finals by beating Uruguay 1-0 on Wednesday. David Luiz received the biggest reaction of the remaining Brazilian players, returning waves and smiles.
On Friday, Brazil will take to the training filed for the final time before their quarter-final showdown. The session will began at 16:30 local time and will be followed by a press conference in which coach Dunga will give his thoughts on the side’s preparations.
If Brazil can overcome the Paraguayans, they will meet either Argentina or Colombia in the semi-finals.
