Brazil's national team strategist Tite does not even expect that he can replace the injured Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar.
Currently, Neymar is recovering from a foot injury and cannot help the national team. The footballer got injured in the match with Marseille last summer.
Brazil will have to play against Russia and Germany without their biggest star.
"Neymar is irreplaceable. Douglas Costa cannot replace him. He will simply play as Douglas Costa," said Tite.
The Brazilian coach also hopes that the players will do the same as they do in their clubs.
"From Casemiro I demand the same role as he plays in Madrid. The same goes for Coutinho. What I will definitely not do is suppress his ambitions," Tite said.
