A new era begins in the Brazilian national team. After several months of instability since Tite departed after the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the Verdeamarela hopes to steer the ship under the guidance of Dorival Júnior.
The new coach presented his first call-up with several news, including the dominant presence of local players over the number of footballers playing abroad. With the latest changes due to injury, the Brasileirao has become the competition with the most representatives in the Brazil squad for the friendlies against England (23/3) and Spain (26/3).
