00:00Hello friends of Lance, we are here at Granja com Maria in Teresópolis, Tuesday, May 26th, the day before the presentation.
00:06official of the Brazilian national team
00:09to begin preparations for the World Cup, but it's the eve of the official presentation, because some players should already be there.
00:15Arrived today, right Yanaka?
00:17It's true, we have information that some players are already in Brazil, in Rio, Wesley, Igor, Thiago, even...
00:23Our reporter who is following us here,
00:25Lucas Baier, Flamengo's beat reporter, conducted an exclusive interview with Wesley that will air tomorrow, so...
00:30The anticipation is already starting, isn't it?
00:33The crew is painting a path back there so the national team players and the team bus can be properly received.
00:40here in Granja.
00:41I haven't been here in a while, I don't know if Baier can show it, but we're seeing a
00:46protection here on the Granja fence with Marinho,
00:49This is a sign that we'll have some very closed training sessions, where we won't have access, we won't be able to...
00:54See what Anti-Helot is doing.
00:56But it's a different kind of presentation, right? From what we usually see, we don't normally have this type of...
01:03protection here at the farm,
01:05So it's really cool, we arrived in the city yesterday, Dousan even took a picture too.
01:10The whole city was lit up to welcome the national team, that's really cool, isn't it?
01:15And this thing about players arriving a day before the official presentation is actually somewhat traditional in preparation for the World Cup.
01:21of the World,
01:22And generally, these are players who aren't usually called up, right?
01:26The players are either going to their first World Cup, or they are getting their first chance with the national team,
01:31Sure, they're coming from Europe, so the logistics are different. There's Flamengo, for example, who are playing today for...
01:38Libertadores.
01:39Santos is also playing today, but Neymar is out.
01:41So it's easier for the two who are coming from Europe, and some, well, I'm going to come to Rio,
01:45I'm going up the Serra Fluminense mountain range now.
01:46I'm already starting to feel the air here in Teresópolis, a tradition in Teresópolis at this time of year as well.
01:53It's fog that's called "Russian" around here, right? If the neighborhood can show you, there's a trace of it back there.
01:59God,
02:00But we can't see it because the Russian is there, right?
02:03That's true, and down there, by that white house, there's even a helicopter there, I don't know if the neighborhood
02:08can show,
02:09But some players, when they come here, pose in a helicopter there, Neymar did that a lot in 2014, 2018,
02:16The preparation that took place here on the farm, so we're already starting here, very excited.
02:21High expectations, right? For this arrival of the national team, this start of work, and let's see what happens there.
02:27World Cup, right?
02:28The fences here have been blocking the view of the pitches, a practice that has been in place since Tite's time in 2016.
02:40The press no longer has access to the entire national team training session; until Tite's first year, he allowed that.
02:47the press watched until the end,
02:48Then he ended up shutting down practically all the activity; generally, we only have access to 15 minutes of training.
02:54And this time Tite will lead the first training session on Wednesday, but this one without any kind of...
03:00press access,
03:01We're really going to be outside the farm starting Thursday, so if we...
03:06You might be able to watch
03:07Those 15 minutes when Tite doesn't hand the vest to the player.
03:11Remember that during this initial presentation of the players, they undergo laboratory tests and medical evaluations.
03:19That's when the CBF (Brazilian Football Confederation) will get a real sense of how some players will perform, in this case...
03:25Neymar, Rafinha,
03:26We even did a report that's already online for you to follow, what the performance was like, what were...
03:32the injuries
03:33What our 26 selected players did during those six months in 2026, it's good for you to take a look, see how...
03:39They are coming.
03:41I think Neymar is perhaps the most worrying player today, because we don't have that much information.
03:45Sérgio Santos said it wasn't anything serious, but he has edema in his calf, so we'll see how it goes.
03:50He will arrive.
03:51And then on Thursday we'll have access to the team's first training session here in Teresópolis.
03:57Remember that in this first leg of preparation, aimed at the game against Panama,
04:03Three players called up for the World Cup will not be present: Gabriel Magalhães, Gabriel Martinelli, and Marquinhos.
04:09Because they will be playing in the UEFA Champions League final on Saturday, this is also a tradition in Cups of
04:14World,
04:15Every four years this happens, the team shows up to begin their preparation.
04:21excluding players who are in the UEFA Champions League, because then the dates end up clashing.
04:27But everything's fine, they'll be performing starting next week, over in the United States.
04:32We'll be following everything with you here at Lance.
04:35Don't miss anything here at Lance, whether it's audiovisual content, the website, or social media; follow everything on Lance.
04:43Thanks, and see you soon.
