This Monday, the Brazilian National Team held its first and only training session in Tokyo, after the rout against South Korea. The team led by Carlo Ancelotti completed its preparations for the match against Japan, which will take place this Tuesday at 7:30 AM (Brasília time), at the Ajinomoto Stadium in Tokyo (JAP).
The session was open to the press for 15 minutes. During this period, Ancelotti spoke with the squad during the first five minutes.
Next, the players warmed up with stretching and agility exercises before moving on to the tactical training led by the coaching staff.
The expectation is that Ancelotti will start repeating lineups in the final phase of the cycle for the World Cup. Thus, the core of the team that beat Korea should be maintained.
The only player the Italian coach has already confirmed as a starter is goalkeeper Hugo Souza from Corinthians. In the previous match, the starter had been Bento from Al-Nassr.
Therefore, it is likely that the National Team will take the field with: Hugo Souza; Douglas Santos (Carlos Augusto), Gabriel Magalhães, Éder Militão and Vitinho; Casemiro, Lucas Paquetá (Bruno Guimarães) and Matheus Cunha; Vinicius Jr., Rodrygo and Estêvão.
After the friendly against Japan, the delegation will leave Tokyo, and the players will return to their respective clubs. The next FIFA Date will be from November 10 onward.
