Overview
- Reports from the Sunday training session in Brisbane say Carlo Ancelotti trialed seven changes to the starting XI as a response to a 1-1 draw with Australia.
- The coach rehearsed a switch from the 4-2-4 used previously to a 4-3-3 formation to give Brazil more balance in midfield.
- Raphinha was worked in a central false‑9 role that mirrors his position at Barcelona, a tactical experiment intended to use his goal form from the club season.
- The staff tested Otávio in goal during the session while Hugo Souza’s earlier error in Townsville has left the goalkeeper spot open for selection.
- Ancelotti will name the official XI after Monday’s final practice ahead of Tuesday’s friendly at Suncorp Stadium and before Brazil’s trip to play India on October 3.
