After defeating Bolivia and Peru in the first two rounds of the Qatar World Cup Qualifiers earlier this month, the Brazilian team will play again in November: on the 13th (Friday) and 17th (Tuesday) they will face Venezuela and Uruguay. , respectively. The 23 players called up for these commitments will meet tomorrow (23), at 11 am, in a virtual press conference by coach Tite.
As always, time conflicts will be evident in this call. Is that according to the calendar of the CBF (Brazilian Soccer Confederation), the quarterfinals of the Brazil Cup are scheduled for the weeks of November 11 and 18, exactly the period of the Qualifiers matches.
The October squad included five players who play in Brazil: Weverton and Gabriel Menino (Palmeiras), Santos (Atlético-PR) and Rodrigo Caio and Everton Ribeiro (Flamengo). The three clubs are contesting the knockout stages of the Copa do Brasil from the Libertadores and could be affected by embezzlement.
Last year, Tite did not call up players who played in the country due to the coincidence of dates with the final stretch of the Copa do Brasil. But at the time, they were only friendlies against Argentina and South Korea, and not official point-worth commitments en route to Qatar.

Captain back?
São Paulo midfielder and right-back for the Brazilian team, the experienced Daniel Alves had only played three games after recovering from a fractured right arm and was not called up by Tite against Bolivia and Peru. Now there are eight games, including one as a winger, and there are possibilities of returning to the list of 23 names as long as the coach does not give up who plays in Brazil.
Dani Alves is the permanent captain of the Brazilian team since the Copa América 2019, except in two friendlies last year and in the first two rounds of the qualifying rounds. Casemiro (three times) and Thiago Silva filled the role, but Tite did not put in a new rotation, nor did he change the owner of the bracelet.

In exchange for the possible return of Dani Alves, two repeated absences for the Brazilian team: goalkeeper Alisson, from Liverpool, and striker Gabriel Jesus, from Manchester City, continue to be treated for a left shoulder injury and a muscle problem, respectively. . Both were in the last call, but were replaced by Ederson (Manchester City) and Matheus Cunha (Hertha Berlin).
Among the 23 players called up, two problems in defense: Marquinhos and Rodrigo Caio have not yet acted after the selection due to physical problems, but while the first is already considered recovered by PSG, the other treats the bone edema in the right knee and it is not 100% according to Flamengo.
Brazil faces Venezuela on November 13, in Morumbi. Then he travels to Uruguay to play at the Centenário stadium on the 17th. The schedule has not yet been defined.
