On January 10, after the six-month interim of Fernando Diniz (which was shared between the Seleção and Fluminense), the Brazilian federation (CBF) decided to entrust the reins of the national selection to Dorival, the former coach of São Paulo. The latter was therefore eagerly awaited this Friday 1st since he was to unveil his first list.

An important moment for the media, attentive to the first choices of the new boss of Canarnha, but also for Dorival. Indeed, Brazil had asked its next opponents (England and Spain) that it will challenge in friendly matches to be able to exceptionally draw up a list of 26 players. The reason ? This March 1 list is the last before the announcement of the players selected to play in the 2024 Copa América.

Lucas Beraldo and Savinho appelés, Lucas Paqueta return
Dorival and his staff therefore wanted to see as many players as possible. In the Brazilian media, three names caused a lot of talk. The first is Lucas Paqueta (26 years old), who was announced as potentially returning. Absent from the Seleção since June 2023, the West Ham midfielder was paying for his involvement in a sports betting affair. The second is the crack of the City Football Group, Savinho. Aged 19, the Troyes player loaned to Girona is a hit in Catalonia (9 goals, 7 assists in 30 matches). Announced at FC Barcelona, he had a good chance of being called up for the first time.

The same goes for the third player mentioned: Lucas Beraldo. The 20-year-old defender recruited this winter by PSG for €20 million has had mixed performances in France, but in Brazil, he is considered the future, just like Endrick, also called up. Concerning Beraldo, Dorival knows him very well having managed him in São Paulo. Concerning the other news: the summons of Andreas Pereira (Fulham), who had recently confided having failed Belgium to prioritize Brazil. The former Manchester United player had the merit of following through with his ideas, and time has proven him right. Wolverhampton midfielder Joao Gomes, who snubbed OL a year ago to join the Premier League, is also summoned. A list decidedly placed under the sign of novelty.
The complete list
