Ramon Menezes outlines the Brazilian National Team with news for the friendly against Morocco

Brazilian National Team – After the World Cup, coach Tite chose to leave the Brazilian national team, which opened a new dispute for the position. While Ednaldo Rodrigues, president of the CBF, does not decide who will be the commander of the next cycle, Ramon Menezes will be in charge. With that, the coach had his first training today with his 23 squad, aiming for the match against Morocco, which will take place this Saturday, at 7 pm (Brasília time), at the Ibn Batouta Stadium, in Tangier, Morocco.

In the initial activity, the coach indicated that he should promote debuts during the friendly. Midfielder Andrey Santos, from Vasco, and striker Vitor Roque, from Athletico-PR, should play for the first time with Amarelinha in the professional team. Both were present in the last conquest of the sub-20 team, in the South American Championship, played last month in Colombia.

The big doubts of the first training were in the midfield, where Lucas Paquetá (West Ham) and Raphael Veiga (Palmeiras) compete for a vacancy. At the right end, Antony (Manchester United) and Rodrygo (Real Madrid) are also vying for a vacancy.

If on the Brazilian side it is a fresh start, on the Moroccan side the match is considered festive. This is the first time that the national team will play in front of its fans, in its country, after the historic campaign in the World Cup in Qatar, in November and December 2022, when it finished fourth and defeated giants such as Portugal and Spain, in addition to leave the Belgian selection by the way in the group stage.

With that, the Ibn Batouta Stadium should receive its maximum capacity of 45,000 spectators. Players like Bounou, Hakimi, Amrabat and Ziyech, who made history at the World Cup, will be available to coach Walid Regragui.

Probable lineup of the Brazilian national team – Ederson (Weverton); Emerson Royal, Éder Militão, Ibañez and Alex Telles; Casemiro, Andrey Santos and Lucas Paquetá (Raphael Veiga); Rodrygo (Antony), Vini Jr. and Vitor Roque. Technician: Ramon Menezes.
