Brazil ready to shine against Cameroon but will Fred be involved?

 

"The statistics are not kind. Fred has produced one attempt on goal in 158 minutes – a header from a corner. He completed 10 accurate passes against Croatia – a game when he made a single run into the attacking third. Only half of the 16 passes he made during his 68 minutes on the pitch against Mexico found a Brazil shirt. He has not created a chance, never mind registered an assist, and he has lost the ball 17 times in total.

There are two schools of thought here: either Fred has to be taken out of the line of fire and given a break or he needs a run-out against one of the weakest teams in this tournament in order to give him the best possible chance of getting off the mark and regaining self-belief. Scolari has decided to go with the latter."
