Neuer cites Florida player as Brazil’s ‘weak point’ in 7-1 rout

Manuel Neuer said Germany had studied the gaps left by David Luiz, who is now at Flamengo.

The historic Germany 7 x 1 Brazil turned 10 on Monday (08). In that match, played at the Mineirão stadium, in the semi-final of the 2014 World Cup, the athlete who today wears the Flamengo jersey was in the starting lineup: David Luiz. In an interview, German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer recalled that the defender, who at the time was a Chelsea player, was treated as one of the gaps for the Europeans to attack the spaces left by Felipe’s team.

— We knew that the absence of Neymar and Thiago Silva was big and that Brazil had lost important players in their structure. We knew that David Luiz is a defender who likes to go forward, so the gaps appear. We sat down with the coach and prepared ourselves so that we had space between the lines and also in depth. That’s why it was important to maintain our position and then take advantage of the opportunities. “Noir said, in an interview with Globo,”

As the German goalkeeper explained, Brazil entered the field without two of their main players. Neymar suffered a serious back injury after suffering a knee injury against Colombia in the quarter-finals. Thiago Silva was suspended 7-1, due to an accumulation of yellow cards. In this way, David Luiz formed a defensive duo with Dante. In attack, Felipão chose winger Bernard. However, the changes did not work, and the five-time world champions suffered the biggest defeat in history.
