Ancelotti hides lineup and promises tests in Brazil x Egypt

Unlike the last press conference before Brazil x Panama, Carlo Ancelotti hid the lineup of the Brazilian team that will face Egypt this Saturday (6), in Cleveland, in the last friendly before the World Cup.

In a press conference held this Friday (6), the Italian spoke about the possibility of testing Brazil's lineup and also praised the offensive system he has been using in recent games in front of the team.

"Well, it's the last game to do tests, because afterwards the tests are much more difficult to do. So, Paquetá is an important player for us, because he has different characteristics from other midfielders. So yes, I want to test him and I also want to test Igor Thiago in tomorrow's game, to look for another option", he commented.

"I think the system with the four at the front is quite consolidated, I want to test another alternative in the last test", he concluded.

When asked about the possibility of announcing the lineup for the friendly, Ancelotti joked: "Do you want to know? Not today, I don't feel like giving the lineup today."

"Tomorrow we have eight changes, and I will take advantage of the eight changes in the second half. It may be that some players who need to play more, who came from injuries, such as Raphinha and Bruno Guimarães, may have more minutes", he also explained.

Brazil and Egypt face each other this Saturday night (6), in Cleveland. The ball rolls at 7pm (Brasília time).
