We have a squad with plenty of options. I want to test a few ideas. I don’t have many doubts, and I’m very calm. Playing well today is very important for us to prepare for the first match, and we’re on the right track. We have to stay calm and focused.

— Ibañez will start. Gabriel will not play. I’d rather not take any risks. He is doing well and trained. Léo Pereira will not play either. We have 11 substitutions, so some players will not take the field. Ibañez will play on the left side of the defense. In the second half, Danilo will play as right back — he concluded.

HOW WILL BRAZIL LINE UP?

So, the Brazil National Team is set. Coach Carlo Ancelotti named Brazil as follows: Alisson; Wesley, Marquinhos, Ibañez and Douglas Santos; Casemiro, Bruno Guimarães, Lucas Paquetá and Raphinha; Vinicius Júnior and Igor Thiago.

The only Flamengo player among the starters is Lucas Paquetá, who came in for Luiz Henrique. Danilo and Alex Sandro are on the bench, while Léo Pereira is expected to be rested by the coach.
