There are four days left until Brazil makes its debut in the World Cup. Even so, coach Carlo Ancelotti already has a probable starting lineup in mind for the first match of the tournament. Three Flamengo players, in fact, are expected to start.
According to GE, Alex Sandro is the clear favorite to play at left back for Brazil against Morocco. Therefore, Douglas Santos should start on the bench on Saturday (13).
In addition, Danilo, who plays as a center back for Flamengo, should be Ancelotti’s first option to take Wesley’s spot. The former rubro-negro player was ruled out after suffering a muscle injury in a friendly against Egypt.
Finally, Lucas Paquetá should be the third Flamengo player to start for Brazil against Morocco. Ancelotti liked the midfielder’s performances in recent matches and, as a result, should give Gávea’s number 20 a chance on Saturday (13).
However, Ancelotti will still have four more training sessions to decide Brazil’s lineup. The match against Morocco will be played this Saturday (13) at 7 p.m. (Brasília time), with live coverage on Rede Globo on free-to-air TV, SporTV on cable TV, and CazéTV on YouTube.
