Brazil beat Mexico 3-2 in its first match at the Copa América and its close and last dueling preparation before the United States. The shock kicks off at 8 PM (Brasilia time) at the Camping World Stadium, in Orlando, the city of Florida where the camp is based to host the continental tournament.
For the first time, coach Dorival Junior decided to arrange an alternative team, with the exception of keeper Alisson (Liverpool). In this sense, in the 11th holder there are Guilherme Arana (Atlético Mineiro), Bremmer (Juventus), Éder Militão (Real Madrid) and Yan Couto (Girona) in defense; Andreas Pereira (Fullham), Douglas Luiz (Aston Villa) and Éderson (Atalanta) in the center of the camp; Gabriel Martinelli (Arsenal), Evanilson (Porto) and Sávio (Girona) in attack.

The football player’s opinion was positive for the player, holding that the selection took place in the scorer at the 5 minute mark and logged the wind in the second half after Martinelli played in the 54 minute mark. After Mexico’s reaction to draw the match late, Endrick sealed the deal near the end with a header.
Considering that the next Brazilian party will be the debut of the Copa América, the 24th of June before Costa Rica in the Sofi Stadium of Inglewood, California, it is very likely that Dorival Junior will play before the United States will be the holders. In addition, from the moment you meet you will be able to train with those who integrate with this initial potential.
