Brazil National Team Preparation

The Brazilian National Team continued its preparations for the friendly this Wednesday. Coach Carlo Ancelotti led the third training session for Brazil in Seoul, this time with 25 players available. With only Joelinton absent, the coach has not yet given any indication of the lineup he intends to field against South Korea.

The session was open to the press for 35 minutes. The first players to take the field were the goalkeepers. Cláudio Taffarel led the warm-up for Bento, John, and Hugo Souza, with reflex exercises.

While the goalkeepers carried out their first positional activity, the outfield players began warming up, with keepy-uppy circles, without letting the ball touch the ground.

Soon after, Ancelotti’s assistants started physical training, with running exercises. The last activity open to the press was rondo played by the outfield players.

Schedule

Now, Brazil will return to training at the Goyang Stadium complex this Thursday, when Ancelotti is expected to define the lineup and players for the friendly against the Koreans.

In the first friendly after the Qualifiers, Brazil faces South Korea this Friday, at 8 a.m. (BrasĂ­lia time), at the Seoul World Camp Stadium. After the match, the delegation will remain in the Korean capital until Sunday, when they will depart for Tokyo, where they will play against Japan on Tuesday, at 7:30 a.m. (BrasĂ­lia time), at the Ajinomoto Stadium.
