The Brazil National Team is preparing for the final friendly of this FIFA international window. The match will take place on Tuesday (31), against Croatia, in the United States. As such, coach Carlo Ancelotti has outlined the likely lineup for the match with two Flamengo players: Danilo and Léo Pereira.
Ederson, Ibañez (Danilo), Marquinhos, Léo Pereira and Douglas Santos; Casemiro and Danilo (Andrey Santos); Luiz Henrique, Matheus Cunha, João Pedro and Vini Jr
At the moment, Carlo Ancelotti has two doubts for the clash with Croatia. The first is at right back. That is because, with Wesley unavailable after being ruled out through injury, Danilo is competing for the spot with Ibañez.
In addition, Carlo Ancelotti has a doubt in Brazil’s midfield. Andrey Santos started against France, but the Portuguese coach is considering using Danilo, from Botafogo, against Croatia.
Yes! Léo Pereira will once again be in Brazil’s starting lineup. However, this time the Flamengo player is expected to form the center-back pairing with Marquinhos, who has recovered from knee pain. Against France, Bremer played alongside the Rubro-Negro player.
Brazil’s match against Croatia is scheduled for 9:00 PM (Brasília time) this Tuesday (31), in a friendly as part of preparations for the World Cup. Therefore, Rede Globo, on free-to-air TV, SporTV, on pay TV, and GETV, on YouTube, will broadcast the match throughout Brazil.
