Brazil is preparing for its Copa debut, which takes place next Saturday (13) at 19h (Brasília time) in New Jersey. Coach Carlo Ancelotti has given more clues about the team that will start playing against Morocco. Right-back Danilo, from Flamengo, has gained strength in the week's training and is expected to start as a starter in the first round of the competition. Alex Sandro, also a player from the Rio de Janeiro club, is expected to play left-back. Goalkeeper Alisson and defenders Gabriel Magalhães and Marquinhos complete the defense. The third player from Mengão among the starters is midfielder Lucas Paquetá, who is expected to play ahead of the consolidated Casemiro and Bruno Guimarães. The attack will be formed by Vinicius Jr., Raphinha and Matheus Cunha. Another name tested was Endrick, who may steal Cunha's spot as a center-forward. The day of the Brazilian team also saw the presence of Neymar on the field. The Santos attacker did not train with the team, but met with the fans present at the location. American director and producer Spike Lee was also present at the Columbia Park Training Center. Brazil is in Group C of the Copa do Mundo. After the confrontation against the Moroccans, Ancelotti's team will face Haiti and Scotland, with an eye on a spot in the knockout stage.
