There’s a good chance it won’t happen. Brazil played last night and in the post-match interview, captain Casemiro gave an indication that after Wednesday’s match they will announce the intention to not play in the Copa. That might end in coach Tite being fired or resigning. He was very emotional after the game. There is tension between the players, the manager and the president of the Brazilian federation.
Having said this, Gabigol isn’t the right man for the way Tite wants his team to play, but he’s playing so well right now that it’s impossible not to call him and, being there, he has to play. The Brazilian competitions don’t stop with the national team playing. There would be outrage if Tite took the main man out of the top team in Brazil just to keep him on the bench
