Maximum alert in the five-time world champion! Brazil trained on Tuesday for Friday’s game in Rio de Janeiro with Chile for the quarterfinals of the Copa América without three of its players, the defenders Éder Militao (Real Madrid) and Léo Ortiz (Bragantino), and the injured left back Renan Lodi (Atlético de Madrid).
Lodi is under the care of physiotherapists after having suffered a “severe trauma” to his hip in Sunday’s game against Ecuador and, despite the fact that the technical commission gave up replacing him, his presence in Friday’s game is unlikely.
Ortiz, who joined those summoned on Tuesday after being called at the last minute to replace the injured Felipe (Atlético de Madrid), only had regeneration work after having performed on Monday night for Bragantino, current leader of the Championship Brazilian.
And Militao, who started in three of the four games played by Brazil in the group stage of the Copa América, was booked by the Brazilian coach, Adenor Leonardo Bacchi ‘Tite’, because he is one of the ones that shows the most wear physical.
The two defenders did regenerative work in the gym at the Comary Farm.
This afternoon’s training session was the first of Brazil’s headlines for the game with Chile after Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Ecuador, which confirmed Canarinha as the first in Group B of the Copa América, as they only worked on Monday alternates. But today’s practice was affected by the cold and heavy fog that covered the Comary Farm and made visibility difficult.
In the few minutes of transmission of the training images released by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) – since the press does not have access due to preventive measures in the face of the covid pandemic – it was impossible to establish whether Tite has already defined its headlines For friday.
The coach initially commanded a reduced field possession and finishing work before authorizing the players with the most minutes in the Copa América to go to the gym to do regenerative work. The substitutes who remained on the training court did specific work for defenders and attackers, especially finishes and aerial plays.
Brazil returns to training at the Comary Farm on Wednesday and Thursday, when it will travel to Rio de Janeiro for Friday’s game.
