Casemiro was the first player to perform at Granja Comary, last Tuesday night. The Manchester United steering wheel arrived before the date stipulated by Confederação Brasileira of Futebol (CBF), coming directly from São José of Campos, where he was fulfilling a professional commitment. The anticipation marks the official beginning of the squad’s concentration at the preparation headquarters in Teresópolis.

Nesta Wednesday morning, another 9 athletes completed the first contingent. The goalkeeper Alisson, the defenders Bremer, Danilo Santos and Ibañez, the full-back Leo Pereira, the midfielders Igor Thiago and Rayan, as well as the attackers Endrick and Luiz Henrique performed in the early hours of the day. Goalkeeper Léo Nannetti, from Flamengo, who is part of the complementary squad, is also already in Teresópolis.

Rotina Reviews Start Immediately

The first battery of physical assessments takes place this Wednesday. Players will undergo endurance, strength and general conditioning tests. In the afternoon, the group carries out a closed activity for the press in the field, starting tactical work under the command of Carlo Ancelotti.

Training continues on Thursday, Friday and Saturday before traveling to Rio from Janeiro. The routine follows the schedule established by the CBF to optimize Seleção’s performance in the next few weeks of competition.

Três athletes only arrive at Estados Unidos

Três players competing in Campeões’s Liga final will join the group later. Defenders Gabriel Magalhães and Marquinhos, both from Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain respectively, and striker Gabriel Martinelli will only complete the squad next week, already on American soil. The final between the two teams takes place next Saturday.

CBF made helicopters available to transport Rio athletes from Janeiro to Granja, reducing travel time and ensuring safe logistics. Segundo the entity, this measure avoids the intense flow of traffic on the highways that connect the capital to the interior of Rio de Janeiro.

Calendário from friendlies confirmed

Após practices at Teresópolis, Seleção travels to Janeiro’s Rio on Sunday. The first commitment is against Panamá, on Maracanã, at 6:30 pm. A week later, in Cleveland, in Estados Unidos, they face Egito, next Saturday, the 6th.

The official debut at Copa takes place on the 13th, against Marrocos. The calendar leaves two friendlies for tactical evaluation and physical conditioning before the main tournament.

Complementary Elenco completes the delegation

Além of the 23 main squad, three young players participate in the activities:

  • Léo Nannetti, goalkeeper of Flamengo
  • Felipe Souza, Botafogo midfielder
  • Bruno Ribeiro, defender of Vasco of Gama

Nannetti will now travel with the group to Estados Unidos, joining the entourage heading to the final competition. The other two remain at the preparation base in Teresópolis during friendlies.
