Would you start Léo Pereira of Flamengo for the Brazilian National Team against France and Croatia? Vote!
At the moment, Carlo Ancelotti has five center back options for the Brazilian National Team. They are: Marquinhos, Bremer, Danilo, Ibañez, and Léo Pereira. In other words, Flamengo has a strong chance of having a representative in the starting lineup in the upcoming matches.
It is important to note that the Brazilian National Team has one fewer center back in the squad for the matches against France and Croatia. That is because Gabriel Magalhães felt pain in his right knee and did not travel to join the ‘Seleção’.
In addition, it is worth noting that Gabriel Magalhães is left-footed, just like Léo Pereira. In other words, the Flamengo player ends up having an advantage in the battle for a starting spot against France and Croatia.
The Brazilian National Team faces France on March 26 (Thursday). Right after that, the ‘Seleção’ takes the field against Croatia on the 31st (Tuesday). Both matches will be played in the United States.
