World Cup: Ancelotti's plan for Flamengo men in Brazil v Scotland

Which Flamengo player did Ancelotti test in training this Tuesday (23)?

The Brazil National Team takes the field this Wednesday (24) to face Scotland in the third round of Group C of the World Cup. In training this Tuesday (23), Ancelotti began to sketch out the ‘Seleção’ lineup, which includes Flamengo players among the starters.

As in the previous rounds, Lucas Paquetá appears in Brazil’s likely lineup for the clash with Scotland. Before this match, the Flamengo academy product started against Morocco and Haiti.

Another player in Brazil’s squad is Danilo. If the defender started on the bench in the opener, now the number 13 is the ‘owner’ of the Seleção’s right-back spot. In addition to his performances on the pitch, the Flamengo player has also emerged as one of the team’s main leaders.

WHAT IS THE SITUATION OF FLAMENGO’S LÉO PEREIRA AND ALEX SANDRO IN THE BRAZIL NATIONAL TEAM?

While Lucas Paquetá and Danilo have been featuring in the lineups, Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro are still looking to make their World Cup debuts. So far, the Flamengo duo have only been bench options in Brazil’s last two Group C matches.

In the final session before the clash with Scotland, Ancelotti even tested Léo Pereira alongside Marquinhos. However, the tendency is for Flamengo’s number 4 to once again remain a substitute.

The same happened with Alex Sandro. At the moment, Douglas Santos is Brazil’s starting left-back, though he is one booking away from suspension. Even so, the tendency is for the Zenit (RUS) player to keep his place.

WHAT IS BRAZIL’S LIKELY LINEUP?

Alisson; Danilo, Marquinhos, Gabriel Magalhães and Douglas Santos; Casemiro, Bruno Guimarães and Lucas Paquetá; Vini Jr, Rayan (Luiz Henrique) and Matheus Cunha.

WILL NEYMAR BE INCLUDED IN THE SQUAD FOR BRAZIL VS SCOTLAND?

One of the biggest expectations for Brazil’s game against Scotland is whether Neymar will make his World Cup debut. At the moment, the national team’s number 10 is already training with his teammates. As a result, he appears as an option in the squad list for this Wednesday’s match (24).

WHEN IS BRAZIL VS SCOTLAND IN THE WORLD CUP?

The match between Brazil and Scotland takes place at 7:00 PM (Brasília time) this Wednesday (24), in Miami, United States. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will cover the details of the match on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media.
