On the night of June 1st, British time, the Brazilian economy arrived at the industrial town of Runcorn in the Northwest of England, not far from Anfield Stadium.
As soon as they arrived at Runcorn Station, Selecao's stars received a warm welcome from the fans here. In the early days of this week, Brazil practiced at Tottenham's The Lodge training ground in London.
The upcoming match against Croatia will be an opportunity for Coutinho to play at Anfield for the first time since moving to Barcelona in a £110 million deal. He will likely join Gabriel Jesus and Roberto Firmino as the three players with the highest position in Brazil's attack in the upcoming match.
Meanwhile, the possibility of Neymar playing is not high. He is still trying to reach his best physical condition after being injured during the match for PSG in March. However, Neymar affirmed that he will fully recover when Brazil plays the opening match at the 2018 VCK World Cup.
In addition, Casemiro and Marcelo were present at Liverpool with their teammates at the Brazilian Open. The duo won their third consecutive UEFA Champions League title with Real Madrid after beating Liverpool 3-1 a week ago.
The friendly match between Brazil and Croatia is a good opportunity for both teams to experiment before the 2018 VCK World Cup. This contest will take place at 9:00 p.m. on June 3, Vietnam time and will be broadcast live on K+PM channel.
In the upcoming tournament in Russia, Brazil is in Group E with Switzerland, Costa Rica and Serbia. Coach Tite and his team will face Switzerland in the first match at 1:00 a.m. on June 18, Vietnam time.
