The Brazil National Team continues its preparations to face Morocco this Saturday (13), in the first round of the World Cup group stage. With Brazil’s opener in mind, coach Carlo Ancelotti is expected to start a Flamengo duo: Danilo and Alex Sandro.
This is because Danilo and Alex Sandro have been training with the Brazil National Team’s main lineup. Therefore, the expectation is that the Flamengo players will start this Saturday (13). However, Ibañez and Douglas Santos are still “fighting” for a spot in Carlo Ancelotti’s team.
The Brazil National Team still has two preparation sessions left ahead of its World Cup opener against Morocco. That being said, this Friday (12), coach Carlo Ancelotti will define the starting lineup that will take the field on Saturday (13).
Besides Danilo and Alex Sandro, Ancelotti has two more Flamengo players in the Brazil National Team squad. They are Léo Pereira and Lucas Paquetá. Thus, the players are hopeful of getting opportunities in the World Cup.
Brazil and Morocco face each other this Saturday (13), in a match valid for the first round of the World Cup group stage. The ball starts rolling 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 opener.
