Summary: Brazil - Tunisia 1:5 (Sport1)
As in every World Cup, the World Cup that will open in 13 days in Qatar will also have the Brazilian team as one of the candidates for the win, and today (Monday) coach Tita published the list of 26 players who will try to lead the Selecao to the first round since 2002. The highlight is the exclusion of Roberto Firmino from Liverpool, and his summoning of 39-year-old Dani Alves.
The surprising name that entered the final squad instead of Firmino is that of the 25-year-old Flamengo striker Pedro, who has so far made only two appearances in the national uniform and scored one goal, while at the club he has 29 caps and 10 assists in 59 appearances in 2022.
Firmino has much richer international experience, with 17 goals for Brazil in 55 appearances, but since the Copa America final where the yellow-greens lost to Argentina last year, the Liverpool player has only been called up once to the squad and has not played a single minute.
This season, "Bobby", as he is known in England, shows a good ability that translated into eight goals and four assists in all competitions for Merseyside.
will close a circle in Qatar.

For the veteran Alves, this will be a significant closing of the circle, after he missed the 2018 World Cup due to a torn cruciate ligament.
The right defender, who will appear for the third time in his career in the most important national team tournament in the industry, beat Benfica's Lucas Varissimo in the fight for the last place in the squad.
A certain surprise can also be seen in the non-summoning of Arsenal's stopper, Gabriel, and other senior players left out are Mateusz Konya from Atletico Madrid, Roger Ibanez from Roma and Ranan Ludi from Nottingham Forest.
Philippe Coutinho, by the way, will miss the World Cup due to injury.
