In a friendly once morest the Senegalese African champions, Brazil wants to show its offensive power.
Without a titular coach and still orphaned by Neymar, injured, Brazil faces Sadio Mané’s Senegal on Tuesday in a friendly in Lisbon (19:00 GMT), the final warm-up round before the South American qualifications for the 2026 World Cup.
The five-time world champions remain on a surprise defeat (2-1) once morest Morocco in Tangier in March, and an easy victory once morest weak Guinea (4-1) on Saturday in Barcelona.

At the José Alvalade stadium, it is still the coach of the U20 Ramon Menezes who will officiate on the bench in place of Tite, thanked following the bankruptcy of the World Cup-2022 in Qatar (elimination in the quarters once morest Croatia). The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has still not appointed a successor, still hoping to attract the Italian coach of Real Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti.
“We will attack very hard once morest Senegal, without a doubt“, assured Menezes, who will align his standard team. The backbone of the Seleçao should once once more be made up of Allison (or Ederson) in goal, Marquinhos in charge of defense, Casemiro in charge associated with Lucas Paqueta and the trio of striker Richarlison, Vinicius and Rodrygo .
The Real Madrid strikers scored once morest the Elephants, but despite the flattering result they missed the magic of a Neymar, still in rehabilitation following surgery on his right ankle.

The Teranga Lions, African champions 2021, should put up more resistance than the Guineans. Coach Aliou Cissé will be able to rely on Chelsea defenders Kalidou Koulibaly and RB Leipzig Abdou Diallo, midfielder Pape Gueye (Sevilla FC) and Bayern Munich striker Sadio Mané.
Senegal, released in the 1/8 finals at the World Cup by England, went for a draw (1-1) in Cotonou once morest Benin on Saturday in the African Cup qualifiers. The match was bereaved by the death of two supporters in a stampede which had also left a dozen injured.
