The Brazilian team has people talking more because of what is said about it than what it plays. Their victory against Chile (1-2) in the last minute did not hide that the five-time world champion is far from his best version and that debate has been fueled since the country’s president, Lula da Silvadefended on Friday that international players playing abroad, such as Raphinha, Vinicius either Rodrygo because “they are not Romario neither Garrincha“, Before hosting Peru in another match in the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup, within the seleçao there is no debate about the lineup of Raphinhauntouchable for the selector Dorival which sees his good moment of form at FC Barcelona, but another position on the field is being tested for the Blaugrana. And Dorival plans to refresh the team with Vanderson, Bruno Guimarães and Gerson as starters.
Dorival was aiming for a more offensive Brazil and therefore moved Raphinha in his natural lane, on the right, where in Barça he has hardly played first due to the presence of Ousmane Dembele and now for Lamine Yamal. In training on Sunday in Bezerrao, preparing for the match against Peru in Brasilia, in a session closed to the press for the most part, the coach talked a lot with his players affected by the positional changes, trying to make them more comfortable. . Raphinhawith 6 goals and 6 assists in his impressive start to the season with Barça, is looking to lead this growth in his role in Brazil, a team where the 27-year-old forward is played 28 games, contributing 7 goals.
In the absence of Vinicius, Rodrygo will gofrom Real Madrid, will also need to show himself more and will do so to play more focused in Brazil’s attack. The possible eleven that Brazil will present against Peru will consist of Ederson, Vanderson, Marquinhos, Gabriel Magalhães and Abner; Bruno Guimarães, Gerson and Rodrygo; Raphinha, Igor Jesús and Savinho.
Brazil train again this Monday with Mané Garrincha, in the last activity before the match on Tuesday, on the tenth day of the qualifiers. Brazil is fourth in the table with 13 points, 6 below Argentina, the leader of the classification.
