Brazil is set to kick off their campaign for a 10th Copa America title as they face Costa Rica. The match is scheduled to start on Tuesday at 7 AM Bangladesh time at Sophie Stadium in California.

Despite Neymar Jr. being sidelined due to injury, the Brazilian squad remains confident, thanks to the strong performances and leadership of players like Vinicius Jr. and Rodrigo. Neymar's absence hasn't dampened the spirits of the team, with the star attending regular training sessions and boosting the morale of his teammates.

Under the guidance of 62-year-old coach Professor Darival Junior, Brazil aims to rebuild and strengthen their lineup. The Real Madrid trio of Eder Militao, Vinicius Jr., and Rodrigo are expected to play key roles in Brazil's starting XI. Vinicius Jr., recognized as the best footballer in the Champions League, and Rodrigo, who dons Brazil's iconic number 10 jersey, are set to lead the charge. The emerging superstar Endrik is also poised to make a significant impact, compensating for the absence of Neymar and Casemiro.

Endrik, confident in his abilities, remarked, "I can play Copa at only 17 years old. I feel good. Our team has the best combination in all positions. We are looking forward to winning the title."

Argentina, led by Lionel Messi, holds the record with 15 Copa America titles, while Brazil's last victory in the tournament was in 2019. Historical statistics favor Brazil in their upcoming match against Costa Rica, as they have won all of their last nine encounters. In the FIFA rankings, Brazil stands in fifth place, significantly ahead of 52nd-ranked Costa Rica.

Currently, the United States is hosting both the T20 Cricket World Cup and the Copa America. This is the second time the U.S. has hosted the Copa, the first being in 2016, where Brazil was eliminated in the group stage of the centenary tournament. This time, Brazil is determined to avoid a repeat of that disappointment. 

Brazil’s rich footballing history and their commitment to excellence make them a formidable opponent. By aiming for the title, Brazil hopes to win not only the tournament but also the hearts of millions of football fans worldwide.
