There’s no Neymar facing Switzerland at the FIFA World Cup 2022 game on Monday (November 28). Just Richarlison. And Vinicius Junior. And Raphinha. And Rodrygo. And all the rest of the star-laden options in a deep and talented Brazilian squad lacking its most famous player.
“Each and every one is super skilled, even the center backs and goalkeeper,” Switzerland coach Murat Yakin said Sunday, describing the Brazil players. “They are here to get the title. That’s almost a must for them.”

Neymar’s ankle injury, suffered in a 2-0 win over hard-tackling Serbia on Thursday, is likely to keep the Brazil No. 10 out of action for the rest of the Group G games. The spotlight was already shining brightly on No. 9 Richarlison after a stellar, scissor-kick shot for his second goal against the Serbs.
Yakin certainly appreciated what was perhaps the standout individual moment of the first week in Qatar. “Absolutely, that’s why we love football, why we watch it, to see such goals,” he said in comments translated from German.
Brazil coach Tite spoke of the different routes to goal his team has without Neymar. “Maybe we’ll see a feint or dribble from Vini, maybe we’ll see creativity when finishing a play from Richarlison or a header from Pedro,” he said.
“This will come up because they have that creativity,” Tite said. "It’s impressive how calm they can be to do things even under all this pressure.”
Still, Switzerland knew how to stop the Brazil attack when Neymar was playing at the 2018 World Cup, which the teams opened by playing to a 1-1 draw.
