Samuel Lino has surprise reaction as Brazil arrive in Australia | OneFootball

Brazil are in Townsville for the first friendly of this international window against Australia. Samuel Lino drew attention with a surprised reaction to the welcome laid on at the team’s arrival.

Litoral News published video of Aboriginal Australians performing a reception dance for the squad, with Lino and team-mates joining in and enjoying the moment. His response sparked discussion online.

Called up after strong form for Flamengo, Lino earned his place as his club form weighed in Carlo Ancelotti’s decision. Competition on Brazil’s left is fierce, since he operates in the same role as Vinícius Júnior, a nailed-on starter.

Lino trained with the group and will start on the bench against Australia, with an expectation he will see minutes. Pedro is the other Flamengo representative and has featured among the starters in some of Ancelotti’s trial line-ups. Both aim to use this window to earn more minutes with the national team before Flamengo’s season run-in.

Brazil face Australia at 07:00 Brasília time on Friday 25 at Queensland Country Bank Stadium. Rede Globo, SporTV and GETV on YouTube will broadcast.

The sides meet again on 29 at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, also at 07:00 Brasília time. Brazil then play India for the first time on 3 October at 11:00, at Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan, the Salt Lake Stadium, in Kolkata.
