The Brazil National Team is preparing to make its World Cup debut this Saturday (13) against Morocco. With only a few days left before the match, FIFA sent a message to Flamengo, the Brazilian club with the most players called up by coach Carlo Ancelotti.
Through a post on social media, FIFA shared a montage featuring the four Flamengo players who were called up. They are: Lucas Paquetá, Danilo, Alex Sandro and Léo Pereira. In addition, the organization wrote the following caption: “Flamengo 🤝 Brazil”.
Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro started in the 6-2 win over Panama on May 31 at the Maracanã. In addition, Danilo and Lucas Paquetá came on at halftime, with the midfielder recording one goal and one assist.
Then, in the 2-1 win over Egypt this Saturday (06), only Lucas Paquetá started for Carlo Ancelotti’s team. Danilo, however, entered the match in the 17th minute of the first half after Wesley felt pain in his left thigh. Finally, Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro were brought on by the Italian in the second half.
With four Flamengo players available, the Brazil National Team has begun preparations for its World Cup debut. Thus, on Saturday (13), Brazil will face Morocco at 7:00 PM (Brasília time) at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Brazil and Morocco through its website and social media. However, Globo (free-to-air TV), SporTV (pay TV), GE TV (YouTube), Cazé TV (YouTube), SBT (free-to-air TV) and N Sports (pay TV) will broadcast the Brazil National Team’s debut.
