Which Flamengo players should start in Brazil vs Morocco?


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.
