Australia x Brazil: Brazilian team lineup for the second friendly

Brazil face the Australia this Tuesday (29), at 7am (Brasília time), at Suncorp Stadium, in Brisbane, Australia, in the second friendly match between the teams on this FIFA Date. The meeting will be broadcast on TV Globo (open TV), SporTV (closed TV) and GE TV (YouTube).

After a poor performance in the 1-1 draw with the Australians, the first game after the World Cup, last Friday (25), coach Carlo Ancelotti must make several changes to the starting 11. According to the ge.globothere will be seven changes, in addition to the change in the tactical scheme to 4-3-3.

The tendency is for only the midfielders Danilo and Bruno Guimarães and the strikers Raphinha and Vini Jr to remain. Among the newcomers, the coach should promote the debut of goalkeeper Otávio and midfielder Gabriel Bontempo. Defender Jair Cunha and full-back Mauro Júnior are also tipped to be starters, but both have already debuted wearing the national team’s shirt in the first friendly. The team will still train this Monday (28) to define the starting lineup.

There is also an expectation that the Italian coach will promote the debuts of players who play in Paraná football: goalkeeper Pedro Morisco, from Coritibaand defender Arthur Dias, from Athletico. Both also appeared on the squad list for the first time. Morisco even gave an interview to CBF TV and commented on his surprise at the call-up.

After the new duel against the Australians, Brazil closes the FIFA Data against India on Saturday (3), at 11am Brasília, at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan stadium (known as Salt Lake), in Calcutta.
