A special visit for the final training session
The team now managed by Carlo Ancelotti faces its last World Cup executioner in a high-caliber international friendly. On Brazil’s path stands Croatia in Orlando, Florida.
Many will remember December 9, 2022, as the date when Brazil fell to Croatia in a thrilling match that was decided on penalties in Qatar 2022. Ultimately, the Europeans advanced to the semifinals, where they faced Argentina, and the rest is history.
Croatia’s team has already become a giant that can boast a runners-up finish in 2018 and a third-place finish in 2022, proving they can compete at the highest level. It is therefore the perfect test for Ancelotti’s side, which is still searching for its best version.
Ester Expósito’s reaction when asked about Kylian Mbappé: What did she say?
Brazil arrives wounded after the 2-1 defeat against the France national team, a result that raised alarms within the group and only forces the coaching staff to look for solutions.
