Coach Carlo Ancelotti will release, this Monday (16th), at 3:30 PM (Brasília time), the official list of names to represent the Brazilian National Team. The announcement will be broadcast live on CBF TV (YouTube), SporTV (cable channel), and CazéTV (YouTube).
As usual, there is great anticipation to find out which athletes will be chosen for the March friendlies. Among the pre-selected players, two from Flamengo appear on the list: left-back Alex Sandro and center-back Léo Pereira.
Because of this, Flamengo is already preparing for possible absences at the start of the season. The official confirmation, therefore, will come soon, with the announcement of the final list.
First, the Brazilian National Team will face France in a friendly on March 26th, starting at 5 PM (Brasília time), in Boston. Right after, the ‘Canarinho’ will take on Croatia, on the 31st of the same month, at 9 PM (Brasília time), in Orlando.
In addition to the names on Brazil’s pre-list, other national teams are also monitoring Flamengo players. The coach of Uruguay, for example, may call up Arrascaeta, Guillermo Varela, and De La Cruz.
Similarly, Ecuador may include Gonzalo Plata in their call-up, while Colombia is considering calling up Jorge Carrascal. Finally, the Chilean National Team is keeping Erick Pulgar on their radar, and the Italian National Team is following the progress of Jorginho.
