🚨 Vinicius leads the line, Rodrygo left out: Brazil’s XI to face Japan | OneFootball

Brazil continues its preparation for the World Cup under the direction of Carlo Ancelotti with a friendly match against Japan.

After their convincing victory against South Korea, Brazil tests its state of resurgence with Ancelotti, who has won three out of the five matches he has been in charge.

Today, the match is played at the Ajinomoto Stadium in Tokyo with these confirmed lineups:

Japan: Suzuki, Taniguchi, Watanabe, Sano, Minamino, Doan, Nakamura, Kamada, Ueda, Kubo, and Suzuki.

Brazil: Souza, Paulo Henrique, Bruno, Beraldo, Carlos Augusto, Casemiro, Guimaraes, Paquetá, Luiz Henrique, Vini Jr, and Martinelli.

Ancelotti rotates and introduces eight changes compared to the starting eleven we saw against South Korea: the only ones repeating are Casemiro, Bruno Guimarães, and Vinicius Jr.
