Brazilian players need oxygen

CAIRO – 7 October 2017: Brazil`s players have needed oxygen after the Bolivia-Brazil match in La Paz for the South American qualifiers for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Neymar and his teammates have needed an extra dose of oxygen to recover after having played at 3,600 meters of altitude.

The Confederação Brasileira de Futebol (CBF) itself was the one who hung an image in social networks where you can see the players of the Brazilian team recovering from the physical effort following the match against Bolivia. The image shows some players with masks in one of the areas of the stadium of La Paz.

Brazil ended its match against Bolivia with a goalless draw, where Neymar and Gabriel Jesus missed many chances to help Brazil get a motivational victory.

Brazil has already secured a place in the final phase of the 2018 World Cup and now must complete the process before the clash against Chile on the last day of the South American qualifiers.

Chile needs to secure three points to qualify to the World Cup.
