"Everyone knows this is a Superclasico, and form is not important ahead when it comes to the Superclasico," Brazil attacking midfielder Douglas Corsta has stated ahead of the Brazil-Argentina showdown on Thursday at the Estadio Mineirao in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.
"Argentina deserve respect, it's going to be a great game regardless of where they stand right now. I think that we have to impose our rhythm on the game, to play the football that we have been playing. That is the most important thing for us, without thinking how Argentina have been suffering or how they could suffer here."
