Day 5 of the 2019 Copa América is headlined by the hosts’ second match in the tournament as Brazil take on Venezuela at the beautiful Fonte Nova in Salvador. The Seleção started the group stage with a 3-0 win over Bolivia in the opening match, but there’s a lot to improve on what was a poor attacking performance from Tite’s men.
One of the main reasons for the weak offensive output was the absence of Barcelona’s Arthur, who is the centerpiece of the Brazilian midfield these days and was sorely missed through injury last Friday.
