Brazil vs Saudi Arabia will be the match to watch today in the FIFA U-20 World Cup.
Dangerous Saudis attackers Ibrahim Alibrahim and Yahya Dagriri will be on Brazil’s watch list, the Saudis scored eight goals in their opening two group games, seven of them by different players.
Coach Ney Franco does have some concerns, especially at the back, having been forced to make two first-half substitutions in Brazil’s final group game against the Panamanians in a bid to address their defensive failings.
“We need to make a few adjustments for the next round because whoever loses that game is going home. Saudi Arabia scored eight goals in the group phase and they’re an attack-minded side so we need to up our game to avoid any surprises,” Brazil coach Ney Franco.
“We scored eight goals in two games, but we rushed things a little bit in our last game and there are a few problems we need to sort out up front. We won’t have any problem getting motivated for the next match, though,” Saudi Arabia coach Khalid Alkoroni.
