Aiming to prepare for the World Cup starting next week, the national teams are playing their final friendlies before the tournament. Palmeiras will have seven representatives in the competition.

Review of Palmeiras’ call-ups

This Saturday (6), Argentina took the field against Honduras in a friendly as preparation for the World Cup, which begins this week. Agustín Giay, although not called up for the tournament, started and still hopes to be part of the international competition, considering that defender Balerdi was ruled out through injury. Verdão’s right-back played the full 90 minutes and delivered a good performance.

Meanwhile, Flaco López, called up by Scaloni, came on in the 63rd minute and had a fairly quiet performance.

Argentina is in Group J with Jordan, Algeria and Austria. Before the World Cup, the Argentines will still have a friendly against Iceland in the United States.

Academy product delivers!

For the Brazilian national team, Endrick, an Academy product, decided the match. Coming on at halftime in a warm-up friendly against Egypt, the number 19 needed just seven minutes to put Brazil ahead on the scoreboard in the United States.

The Brazilian national team, which also includes Danilo, developed in Palmeiras’ youth ranks, and Weverton, former Verdão goalkeeper, will make its World Cup debut next Saturday (13) against Morocco.

In addition to the players, masseur Serginho also represents the Greatest Champion of Brazil at the national team World Cup.
