Five reasons why Spain will defeat Brazil to win the Confederations Cup

2. One man team?

Neymar has contributed a huge amount to Brazil’s performance in this tournament. Take him out of the game and you have a considerably depleted side. Spain will be planning to do exactly that. Del Bosque is said to be an admirer of the player and expressed his feelings ahead of the game. He said, “I really like Neymar. He is an artist and Spanish football needs players like him. We should not be closing our borders for the very best. We already have players such as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo here, who are the best in the world.” Praise from the opposition can only mean that they will do everything that is within their reach to hinder you in the game.
