Of course, the Real Madrid player will wear the number 10 of the absent Neymar in the ‘canarinha’
Brazil faces next Saturday a demanding friendly against Morocco in Rabat
It’s time for Rodrygo Goes with Brazil. In what will be the first game that the ‘verdeamarela’ will play after the death of Pelé, the Real Madrid striker points to nine starters.
Brazil is already working in Rabat preparing for Saturday’s friendly against Morocco and the interim coach Ramón Menezes works with a forward where Rodrygo can be the reference in the center, with Vinícius Junior and Antony on the sides.
The canarinha has been concentrated since Monday in the Moroccan capital for the only match scheduled in this FIFA window, and which has raised great expectations in the country after the great role of Regragui’s men in the Qatar event.
Several players like Andrey Santos and Vitor Roque can debut in Brazilstars of the last South American Sub-20 and other stars of the Brasileirao such as Rony, Veiga or André.
It is expected that during the month of April, the CBF can confirm the coach who will take over the reins of the team for the start of the Qualifiers and the next Copa América, so this may be Menezes’ only game as absolute coach.
The interim coach finished the last training session with the following eleven: Weverton, Emerson Royal, Militão, Ibañez and Alex Telles; Casemiro, Andrey Santos and Lucas Paquetá; Antony, Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo.
At the start of practice Vitor Roque acted as nine and Rodrygo started from the right. Menezes does not have too many doubts to finish off the starting team and it seems that the experience can be imposed for the start.
Everything seems to indicate that the Real Madrid footballer will experience a great moment in the friendly that the South American team will play against Morocco. The Brazilian Football Confederation has made it official that the attacker will wear the number ’10’ on his shirt, as Neymar continues to recover from his injury.
In addition, this match will also be the first for Brazil after the death of Pelé. During the World Cup and with ‘O Rei’ admitted, the canarinha already paid some tribute to the legend of Santos, sending him encouragement from Qatar.
