Watch Brazil vs. Paraguay live stream free at the 2015 Copa America quarterfinals from the Estadio Municipal Alcaldesa Ester Roa Rebolledo in Concepción, Chile.
Paraguay will be looking to bank on Neymar’s absence for Brazil in the quarterfinal face-off. The flamboyant striker was shown the red for starting a fight at the end of the match against Colombia — and allegedly insulting the ref — and was suspended for the remainder of the 2015 Copa America in the Groups stage.
For its part, Brazil will try to prove that it’s much more than just the Barcelona superstar. The Verde Amarela did so by not falling apart after the blow of losing Neymar and qualified for the knockout stage after knocking out a pesky Venezuela 2-1.
Even though Brazil is not the same without its main star, the South American powerhouse is always a dangerous team, and their accolades speak for themselves. Eight-time Copa America winners and five-time World Cup champions, Brazil also has won two CONCACAF Gold Cups and four Confederations Cups.
Fans who watch Brazil vs. Paraguay live stream free will see if Paraguay — who is not to be dismissed — can add a third Copa America to their collection. La Albirroja qualified to the knockout stage after stunning Argentina in their opener (2-2), beating Jamaica 1-0 and earning a draw with arch-rivals, Uruguay (1-1).
Even though Brazil is Neymar-less, Paraguay defender Bruno Valdez knows perfectly well Los Guaranis need to focus. He told Tigo Sports their rival is a great team, and Paraguay will not underestimate them.
“Brazil without Neymar is different, but we know that they still have great players,, but we are calm, and working to get the result.”
Paraguay midfielder Víctor Cáceres thinks La Albirroja must be perfect to overcome Brazil and move on to the semis at the 2015 Copa America.
“In this instance you do not choose opponents, but the group was already difficult, so you have to play perfectly against Brazil. We are strong in the air, and we must closely mark the Brazilian players and anticipate them to avoid problems.”
Watch Brazil vs. Paraguay live stream free to see if Brazil can move on despite not having Neymar. According to Brazil striker Roberto Firmino, La Seleção have actually improved without Neymar.
“Of course we are sad because of his suspension and his exit, but the Seleção are looking better and better and we can achieve victories in the Copa América.”
