Which Flamengo players should start in Brazil vs Morocco?


The Brazil National Team continues preparations to face Morocco this Saturday (13), in the opening round of the World Cup group stage. With Brazil’s debut in mind, coach Carlo Ancelotti is expected to name two Flamengo players in the starting lineup: Danilo and Alex Sandro.
