The Brazilian team faced the United States this Thursday and drew 1-1, in a friendly preparatory match for the Copa América. Unlike the match against Mexico, coach Dorival Júnior selected Brazil’s starting team against the Americans. Currently, Vinícius Júnior is the team’s main reference for the Copa América. However, the 23-year-old striker cannot repeat the decisive performances he had at Real Madrid, for his country.
