Brazil v Australia: see the line-up with Carlo Ancelotti's changes | OneFootball

Brazil faces Australia this Tuesday, the 29th, in the second friendly between the teams during this September-October FIFA international window. The match kicks off at 7 a.m. (Brasília time) at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, Australia. The national team takes the field under heavy scrutiny after last Friday’s 1-1 draw against the same opponent.

Coach Carlo Ancelotti did not confirm Brazil’s lineup, but he is expected to make seven changes to the starting team. The changes in the squad were already part of the coaching staff’s plan, which intends to assess all the players during this FIFA window.

The key detail is that the most requested name in the national team is expected to be confirmed in attack. Rayan, who scored the equalizer last Friday, should form the front three with Raphinha and Vini Jr. As a result, the coach drops Endrick from the team and strengthens the midfield to create more attacking flow.

Brazil lined up with changes

The expectation is that Carlo Ancelotti will confirm Brazil’s lineup as follows: Otávio; Vanderson, Jair, Gabriel Magalhães and Mauro Júnior; Danilo, Bruno Guimarães and Gabriel Bontempo; Rayan, Raphinha and Vini Jr. Last Monday, Carlo Ancelotti said he does not fear the pressure of the job and that the changes are necessary.

Ancelotti builds his project with the Copa América in mind

“The priority now is to build a new generation that can take Brazil to the Copa América and the World Cup. It may be that today the 26 called-up players are not the absolute best, but that is part of the process. Our job is to follow the athletes closely. We are working for the national team to be a protagonist. The expectation of being the national team coach is very high; here, you have to win the World Cup. I don’t remember a year in my career when the expectations were not high. They always have to be high, and we have to give our maximum to our work,” said Ancelotti.
