The team arrives in Lima with a warm welcome

A Brazilian Team disembarked in Lima, in Peruat the end of Saturday night (9), after thrashing Bolivia 5-1, in Belém, in the first game of the South American World Cup Qualifiers.

Many fans went to the door of the hotel where the delegation is staying and managed to receive at most a few waves from the athletes and coach Fernando Diniz, due to the strong security scheme set up by the CBF.

Neymar, as usual, was one of the most celebrated players, even more so after scoring two goals against Bolivia and surpassing Pelé as the top scorer for the Brazilian national team, according to FIFA accounts. There are 79 goals for the Al-Hial player and 77 for the King of Football. For the CBF, however, Pelé has 95 goals, as the Brazilian entity considers games against clubs, combined teams and state teams. FIFA only counts goals scored against national teams.

Brazil will face the Peruvian team, at 11 pm Brasília (9 pm local time), Tuesday (12). Before that, Fernando Diniz leads two training sessions, one at the Alejandro Villanueva Stadium, of Alianza Lima, during this Sunday afternoon, and another at the National Stadium of Peru, on Sunday afternoon.

The team led by Diniz will face a Peru in reconstruction after failing to qualify for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. After the failure to take the Peruvian team to the World Cup, coach Ricardo Gareca was fired in August last year and replaced by Juan Reynoso, who saw the team draw 0-0 with Paraguay in their first match for the Qualifiers, on Thursday ( 7).
