Brazil v Costa Rica: Group E - 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia
Neymar - talisman

Neymar is the center of attention in each game for Brazil. Being an excellent dribbler, he has got raw pace and the ability to run behind the defense as was evident in the game against Costa Rica. He is also a cool finisher and has the capability to win the World Cup for Brazil.

Neymar was brilliantly subdued by Switzerland in the first game as they closed him down and kept on tackling him throughout the match. In the second match against Costa Rica, he found his mojo and had good opportunities to score from.

Finally, in the 97th minute, he slotted the ball into the net after receiving a fine pass from Douglas Costa in the penalty area.

Nemanja Matic will probably be entrusted with the task of marking Neymar, hence he will find it difficult to get past him due to Matic's strength. Being a very important match, Brazil fans will expect Neymar to step up and give his best performance in today's match against Serbia.
