This is how they trained today: Julio César; Daniel Alves, Lúcio, Thiago Silva e Marcelo; Lucas, Ramires, Elano e Renato Augusto; Neymar e Leandro Damião. So ... Elano and Lucio among the starters. At least in practice.
Correct. Great line up but would have prefered a 3-4-1-2 with David Luiz in the line up but I don't think we will ever be playing with 3 defenders. Jonas will most likely start over Damiao.
--------------------Julio César------------------ Daniel Alves---Lucio---------David Luiz---Marcelo- --------------Thiago Silva---Ramires------------- ----------Elano------------------Lucas---------- ----------------Jonas----Neymar---------------- This would rock! Later we can use Elano in Ramires place, Ganso in the attacking midfield and Nilmar/Pato/ Hulk/ Luis Fabiano (!?) as a CF.
Not at all. I just find Neymar to be more effective, so I demoted Robinho to the bench... He is Neymar's sub, for me.
Nilmar fora http://www.cbf.com.br/noticias/selecao-brasileira/2011/3/25/nilmar-esta-desconvocado Leandro Damiao's debut is getting closer and closer!
You gotta be joking. Robinho (the modern day Joy of the People) is going to win the Copa in 2014 for us.
Marcelo injured during practice, might miss the game! Depends on tests, x-rays, etc... Probably Andre Santos will be in....
this is from g1.globo.com (brazilian news) 26/03/2011 09h00 - Atualizado em 26/03/2011 09h04 Marcelo realiza exame em Londres e passa a ser dúvida na Seleção Lateral-esquerdo deixa hotel da equipe brasileira e segue para clínica na capital inglesa. Atleta vai realizar raio-x para saber a gravidade do problema Marcelo chora ao ser atendido pelo médico no treino da última sexta (Foto: Mowa Press) O lateral-esquerdo Marcelo passou a ser dúvida na Seleção Brasileira para o jogo deste domingo, às 10h (de Brasília), contra a Escócia, no Emirates Stadium, em Londres. Basically he is going for x-rays to determine whether he will play or not... he was crying as he was examined by the doctor. He is now in doubt. link: http://globoesporte.globo.com/futeb...em-londres-e-passa-ser-duvida-na-selecao.html
The newspapers say that the Scotland's coach decided to adopt a more offensive approach to his formation, and will use a 4-5-1 formation instead of the usual 4-6-0. Damnit. Betting on a boring game.
The Scot's formation without a back three, and sole striker will open up the game more leading to more counter attacks by Brasil, and my friend, we are deadly on the counters, that is if the Scot's can manage to keep the ball for more than 3 passes.
14:00 UK - our clocks go forward tomorrow by 1 hour though. Marcelo out http://globoesporte.globo.com/futeb...ao-por-nao-contar-com-marcelo-na-selecao.html
