After the lukewarm point brought back in the Brazilian baggage from the weekend trip to Colombia there are rumours of a potentially hot homecoming in Rio de Janeiro with this Wednesday’s Maracanã match against Ecuador…
Rio de Janeiro is awaiting the first seleção match to be played at the Carioca stadium since the 3rd of September 2000. On that occasion a Romário hat-trick was the jewel in the crown of a sparkling 5-0 win over Bolivia.
This time around there’s a certain apprehensiveness amongst some of the Brazil squad at being judged too harshly by Cariocas who may feel that the Canarinha isn’t managing to play up to the standards of attractiveness or charisma demanded by the locals.
“I hope that the fans will be there to cheer us on and support rather than be too picky over the game and starting to hassle us after five or ten minutes of play. People let to need us work and this is really vital when you’re looking for a first win”, he added.
Josué came on in the second half but may be given a starting chance against Ecuador on Wednesday at the remodelled, refurbished Maracanã. Ronaldinho Gaúcho is the only surviving veteran of the last Brazil game a little over seven years ago.
