Thus, in the match valid for the first round of Group G, the Brazilian team will take the field with: Alisson; Danilo, Marquinhos, Thiago Silva and Alex Sandro; Casemiro, Lucas Paquetá and Neymar; Vinícius Junior, Richarlison and Raphinha.
In this way, coach Tite gave up a midfield formed by Fred, Casemiro and Paquetá (as he did in most of the last games) and opted for the formation adopted in the 3-0 victory over Ghana, in Le Havre (France) , on the last 22nd of September, with Neymar in the role of main articulator of plays and an offensive trio at the forefront, with Vinícius Júnior starting alongside Raphinha and Richarlison.
