The Brazilian National Team is preparing to face South Korea and Japan in two friendly matches. In this regard, during Wednesday's (08) training, Carlo Ancelotti outlined a lineup for the first challenge. The team included two products of Flamengo: Lucas Paquetá and Vini Júnior.
Bento, Vitinho, Éder Militão, Gabriel Magalhães and Douglas Santos; Casemiro and Lucas Paquetá; Estêvão, Matheus Cunha, Vini Júnior and Rodrygo.
Firstly, the match between Brazil and South Korea takes place this Friday (10), in Seoul. The ball starts rolling at 8 a.m. (Brasília time), at the Seoul World Cup Stadium.
Thus, in the afternoon training at the auxiliary field of Goyang Stadium, Carlo Ancelotti placed Vini Jr. among the starters. According to GE, the Flamengo product will play closer to the goal. The idea is to take advantage of the striker's decision-making power in the final third.
It should be noted that the definition of the starting team to face South Korea was left for Thursday's (08) work. This is because only in the last training will Carlo Ancelotti have the entire squad available for the first time.
In addition to the match with South Korea, Brazil will also face Japan in a friendly during this FIFA date. Finally, the match against the Japanese takes place next Tuesday (14), at 7:30 a.m. (Brasília time), at the Ajinomoto Stadium.
