The Brazil National Team traveled this Monday (01) to the United States, where they will play their final warm-up friendly and the World Cup. Fans at the airport celebrated the players’ arrival, especially Neymar and Vinicius Júnior, former Flamengo player.
Alisson was the first Brazil National Team player to get off the bus at Galeão International Airport in Rio de Janeiro, at around 8:40 PM (Brasília time). Shortly afterward, Neymar arrived and sparked celebrations among the fans at the scene.
Three players were not present at the arrival in Rio de Janeiro. Center backs Gabriel Magalhães and Marquinhos, along with forward Gabriel Martinelli, traveled directly to the United States after the Champions League final, played last Saturday (30).
Four Flamengo players are in the Brazil National Team squad: Alex Sandro, Danilo, Léo Pereira and Lucas Paquetá. Finally, Vinicius Júnior and Wesley, who came through the Rio club, will also play in the World Cup.
It is worth mentioning that goalkeeper Léo Nannetti, from Flamengo, traveled with the Brazil National Team squad for the World Cup. However, the young Flamengo goalkeeper will not take part in the official matches, serving as training support and gaining experience with the group.
Before turning their attention to the World Cup, the Brazil National Team takes the field this Saturday (06). Carlo Ancelotti’s team will face Egypt at 7 PM (Brasília time) in the United States, in a friendly as preparation for the World Cup.
