Brazil line-up: Ancelotti goes with attacking quartet against South Korea | OneFootball

Brazil’s lineup is set for the friendly match against South Korea this Friday at 8 a.m. (Brasília time), at the World Cup Stadium in Seoul.

For this match, coach Carlo Ancelotti is betting on an offensive quartet composed of Estêvão, Matheus Cunha, Rodrygo, and Vinícius Júnior.

At just 18 years old, Estêvão is already starting to stand out in the Brazilian National Team under Ancelotti and will receive another opportunity as a starter. In the 3-0 victory over Chile in the Qualifiers, the youngster had already started the match and even found the back of the net on that occasion.

Brazil’s full lineup to face South Korea features Bento; Vitinho, Éder Militão, Gabriel Magalhães, and Douglas Santos; Casemiro and Bruno Guimarães; Matheus Cunha, Estêvão, Rodrygo, and Vinícius Júnior.

The Brazilian National Team will have three more periods for preparatory friendlies ahead of the World Cup. In November, the Seleção will face African teams. In March and June 2026, the plan is to take on European opponents.

Carlo Ancelotti has already managed the Brazilian National Team on four occasions. The Italian coach has recorded one draw, against Ecuador, two victories, against Paraguay and Chile, and one defeat to Bolivia.

The Seleção finished the South American Qualifiers for the World Cup in fifth place, with 23 points. It was Brazil’s worst campaign since the tournament adopted its current format.
