The Brazilian team trains before their World Cup debut In the United States, the Brazilian team held its penultimate training session before its debut. Reporter Pedro Bassan told the news. Dissolving the weight of the debut in a smile, in a mix of hug and play. Thus, time passes faster, while Carlo Ancelotti gains certainty. This Thursday (11), he tested the same lineup for the second time, and the team that is being created has eight players who started the last World Cup, in Qatar. If the coach maintains this idea, it will be a record: the Seleção has never had so many players repeat in two consecutive World Cup debuts. Those who took the field against Serbia in 2022 are: Alisson, Danilo, Marquinhos, Alex Sandro, Casemiro, Lucas Paquetá, Raphinha and Vini Jr. Only three new players now: Gabriel Magalhães, Bruno Guimarães and Matheus Cunha. Thus, the team is divided between a few newcomers, experienced ones and even more experienced ones. 📱Bookmark g1 on Google and follow the main news of the day Ancelloti tests, for the second time, a team with 8 players who started the last World Cup National Newspaper/ Reproduction This is the case of goalkeeper Alisson. When he takes to the field against Morocco, Alisson will become the third goalkeeper to start for Brazil in three World Cups. It could just be a number, but, in the Brazilian team, numbers tend to bring back good memories. The others who played three World Cups were champions: Gilmar, twice, and Taffarel, the four-time winner. "I feel honored to be part of this select group of goalkeepers who will be playing in three World Cups. But, I want to join the other group: the group of champions", says Alisson, goalkeeper for the Brazilian team. The path begins in the sector of the field that he knows so well. After the goals Brazil conceded in the last four friendlies, the goalkeeper demands a more solid defense: "You have to hate conceding a goal, you have to hate conceding a goal. The opponent has to work very hard to score a goal. We are trying to create that mentality here." Hatred and smiles. Newbies and experienced. Only two days left. The Brazilian mixture is almost ready. “We chose here to focus on the privilege, to focus on the joy and pleasure of representing the Brazilian team in a World Cup, in an important competition like this”, says Alisson. Alive Times Square is already in the rhythm of Brazilian fans. Reporter Carlos Gil was in New Jersey, with a stunning view of Manhattan. He brought information about the party that Brazilian fans are organizing.

Brazil will debut in the World Cup in a region that has many Brazilians. It is the third state with the most Brazilians living in the United States, New Jersey. Only behind Massachusetts and Florida. The estimate is that 150 thousand Brazilians live here. Even so, the demand for tickets was huge. The tickets are sold out. We will have a full house at the Brazilian debut, with a noisy crowd on both sides. Speaking of parties, this Friday (12), the Brazilian fans in the New York region are marking a "bandeiraço". It's an event in support of the National Team that will take place in Times Square, on 46th Street - which is the street linked to Brazilians.

And they prepare themselves mentally. They are already prepared for this initial game. Renata Vasconcellos: Mentally and it seems like tactically too.
