00:00Hello Lance friends, Tuesday, June 2nd, 2026, the World Cup is almost here and...
00:05Lance is already here!
00:06in front of Match Life Stadium, the venue for Brazil's first game and the World Cup final.
00:13The team arrived early, on a direct chartered flight from Rio de Janeiro.
00:17He didn't speak to the press, nor did he arrive in front of the hotel.
00:20No one could keep up, neither fans nor press who wanted to stop by.
00:24The security is very strong, isn't it Yanaka? And it's a FIFA security plan, right?
00:28Now it's all FIFA's logistics, very strong security around the stadium and the training center.
00:35And today is the first activity, right Yanaka?
00:37Truthfully, this is closed to the press, remembering that we, I don't know if you can see it here in the background.
00:42the stadium where the national team will play its first match, the Match Life Stadium, the place where we got our accreditation today for the
00:47Cup too
00:47Lance is officially accredited for the World Cup.
00:51We'll be following all the details of the Brazilian national team.
00:53who's staying right near where we are, there in Morriston, in Basket Ridge, right?
00:58The place where they are staying, but Dousan was there earlier, but security everywhere.
01:03You can't even stay there at the entrance of the training center, right?
01:06To give you an idea, the team's hotel belongs to a global telecommunications giant.
01:13It's not a normal hotel where we can stay, it's a hotel made for executives.
01:18enterprise
01:18For those who do business with this company, and it's located next to a highway.
01:25Anyone approaching the hotel would see a police car and say, "Hey, you can't stay here."
01:30The area is private and is now a FIFA area, and it's not even on the highway, if you stayed in the
01:36The highway was even worse.
01:37because two police cars arrived in a polite manner
01:41It's like a farm with a husband in the United States, right? Nobody goes in, we don't have access.
01:45We still don't know how the whole process with the press will be, right?
01:49If we're going to have a designated area within the hotel where they're staying for the press conferences...
01:55So we'll have to wait and see how it goes, but the important thing is that we're already here.
01:59Ancelotti also spoke about his arrival, right? He said that the tendency is for him to do more tests.
02:06As he did with Panama, he should test 22 players again, or even more, as he did before.
02:11to define the starting lineup for the opening match against Morocco here, at Match Life Stadium on the 13th
02:17Yes, this game is fundamental for me, I think if Brazil wins this game
02:22Qualification for the second round is practically guaranteed, because they play Haiti next.
02:27So this preparation and taking all this care is very important.
02:30We'll also see how Neymar is doing, to see if he'll be fit to go.
02:33At least he'll be on the bench for this first game, I don't think so.
02:36I think the trend of using Neymar is only for the second match against Haiti.
02:41Yanaka spoke about the tests, mentioning that the team plays a friendly match on Saturday in Cleveland.
02:46Against Egypt, it will be Ancelotti's first opportunity to test the pairing that is believed to be the best option.
02:52Marquinhos and Gabriel Magalhães are the starting center-backs at the World Cup.
02:55They played in the UEFA Champions League final on Saturday, so they didn't play the first leg.
03:00from the preparation there at the farm, just like Gabriel Martinelli, the striker.
03:05He said that he remembers the national team's training center and hotel, which are somewhat reminiscent of Granja Comary.
03:09I would say it's much more closed off than the Comaria farm.
03:12Again, because it's a closed area belonging to a large company, everything is very well fenced.
03:17There isn't one, we know that over there on the farm, the people who live mainly in the condominium...
03:24People in the surrounding area like to watch the training sessions from their balconies.
03:29That doesn't exist, because it's a closed area, actually located further inside.
03:34Well, from now on it's all about the World Cup, officially in the United States.
03:40Remember another thing Yanaka said, that he believes the game against Morocco...
03:45It's a victory that practically secures Brazil's qualification.
03:48I would go further, Yanaka, I think a victory against Morocco guarantees Brazil's qualification.
03:52First of all, remembering that first place theoretically gives some advantage there.
03:59starting from the knockout stage
04:00They are tough opponents, it's a difficult group: Netherlands, Sweden, Tunisia and Japan.
04:04Japan, the team we didn't play well against in the last friendly, we ended up losing, Brazil ended up losing.
04:09So we're going to have a very tough opponent in this first knockout round.
04:14It's not yet the Round of 16; this World Cup is different, remembering that there are 48 teams.
04:20There's one more phase, more days of the World Cup.
04:22Anyway, the game is already here in the United States, we're in New Jersey.
04:28If you are staying in Morristown, the selection is the Bicycle Ridge.
04:31And we're going to bring you all the details about the team's preparation.
04:34And soon João Lidton and Esmigo, Marcelo Esmigo, will be in Miami.
04:39So follow everything here with us, that's it, thanks!
04:44Thanks, and see you later!
