World Cup: Ancelotti's plan for Flamengo players in Brazil v Scotland

Which Flamengo player did Ancelotti test in training this Tuesday (23)?

The Brazil National Team takes the field this Wednesday (24) to face Scotland in the third round of Group C of the World Cup. In training this Tuesday (23), Ancelotti began to shape the ‘Seleção’ lineup, which includes Flamengo players among the starters.

Just like in the previous rounds, Lucas Paquetá appears in Brazil’s likely lineup for the clash with Scotland. Before this match, the Flamengo academy product started against Morocco and Haiti.

Another player in Brazil’s team is Danilo. If the defender started on the bench in the opener, the number 13 is now the ‘owner’ of the right-back spot for the ‘Seleção’. In addition to his performance on the pitch, the Flamengo player has also emerged as one of the team’s main leaders.

WHAT IS THE SITUATION OF FLAMENGO’S LÉO PEREIRA AND ALEX SANDRO IN THE BRAZIL NATIONAL TEAM?

While Lucas Paquetá and Danilo have been featuring in the lineups, Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro are still looking to make their World Cup debuts. So far, the Flamengo duo has only been used as bench options in Brazil’s last two Group C matches.

In the final session before the clash with Scotland, Ancelotti even tested Léo Pereira alongside Marquinhos. However, the tendency is for the Flamengo number 4 to remain a substitute once again.

The same happened with Alex Sandro. At the moment, Douglas Santos is Brazil’s starting left-back, but he is one yellow card away from suspension. Even so, the tendency is for the Zenit (RUS) player to keep his place.

WHAT IS BRAZIL’S LIKELY LINEUP?

Alisson; Danilo, Marquinhos, Gabriel Magalhães and Douglas Santos; Casemiro, Bruno Guimarães and Lucas Paquetá; Vini Jr, Rayan (Luiz Henrique) and Matheus Cunha.

WILL NEYMAR BE INCLUDED IN THE SQUAD FOR BRAZIL VS SCOTLAND?

One of the biggest questions ahead of Brazil’s match against Scotland is whether Neymar will make his World Cup debut. At the moment, the national team’s number 10 is already training with his teammates. Therefore, he appears as an option in the squad list for this Wednesday’s (24) match.

WHEN IS THE BRAZIL VS SCOTLAND WORLD CUP MATCH?

The match between Brazil and Scotland takes place at 7:00 PM (Brasília time) this Wednesday (24), in Miami, United States. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will cover the details of the clash on YouTube, as well as on its website and social media.
