Dorival Júnior confirms Flamengo's Wesley as a starter in Argentina vs Brazil

The Brazilian National Team will have six changes in the starting lineup for the match against Argentina , this Tuesday (25), at 9 pm (Brasília time), at Monumental de Núñez , in Buenos Aires . Coach Dorival Júnior confirmed that Wesley, from Flamengo, will be a starter. In addition, the coach stated that four changes will be forced due to absences, while two occur due to technical choice.

Changes in the starting lineup

Alisson and Gerson , who are out due to injury, are leaving the team, as are Gabriel Magalhães and Bruno Guimarães , who are suspended. Vanderson and João Pedro will lose their places due to Dorival's choice.

With that, Brazil will take to the field for the duel against Argentina with: Bento, Wesley , Marquinhos, Murillo and Guilherme Arana; André, Joelinton and Raphinha; Vini, Rodrygo and Matheus Cunha.

The lineup was tested in Sunday's training session, where Savinho was even used among the starters. However, Dorival confirmed that Matheus Cunha will be chosen to start the game.

Dorival explains choices

In a press conference, the coach highlighted the need for changes and demonstrated confidence in the team:

"We have four necessary changes that have already been defined. We are making two for the opening of the match. Matheus Cunha is taking João's ( Pedro ) place and Wesley is taking Vanderson 's place. The others were due to losses we had in the last match. With six possible changes, I am sure that we will have a team that will be prepared to play a great game against a great opponent that deserves all our respect," declared the Brazil coach.

Dorival also commented on the entry of Wesley , from Flamengo , on the side:

"Wesley is in a process of evolution. Vanderson played a good game, he marked one of the most dangerous players in world football . He had great duels with them. When Wesley came in, we won a little more because Vanderson exhausted himself a little more due to his great passes and good duels. I hope Wesley can reach the same level he showed at Flamengo. His performance, his freedom of movement. Argentina doesn't have a fixed player in that position", concluded Dorival.

The team enters the field looking for a victory to establish itself in the Qualifiers against Argentina, the leader of the competition, in one of the most anticipated clashes of the competition.
