Chelsea Star to Step up for Brazil in the Absence of Neymar

Against all odds, Brazil have reached the final four of the competition after 12 long years and they face one of the best in Germany.
However, the Samba stars will be without two of their most influential players for tor the semi final clash as captain Thiago Silva is suspended and best player Neymar is out of the competition after suffering a horrific injury.
The hosts will have to take the best out of the home advantage against the German side who do not have many weaknesses.
Kaisers have reached the World Cup semi final for a record 13 time and will look to make amends as they lost the last two semi final clashes against Spain and Italy who went on to lift the trophy as well.
Thiago Silva is likely to be replaced by another top center half, Bayern Munich’s Dante but the real issue is there is no direct replacement for a player like Neymar.
Still, Brazil will have to make do without him like Germany have been doing without their superstar Marco Reus who was ruled out of the World Cup before the competition even started.
Chelsea star Willian is expected to start the game against Germany and if he does, tomorrow will be the chance for him to write his name in the folklore forever.
Willian had a brilliant first season in the premier league and has all the traits to trouble Germany’s defense. He might be up against German captain Lahm and the battle will be an intriguing one.
