The Selecao were in turmoil following their humiliating 7-1 defeat on home soil to Germany in the World Cup semi-finals. Although they did make up for it with a gold in the Rio Olympics, Neymar stepped down as captain while Dunga was sacked.
However, new coach Tite has brought some semblance of order back in the squad. The only thing missing is a permanent captain as he rotates the captaincy from game to game.
Brazil were the first team to qualify for the 2018 World Cup after they topped the CONMEBOL standings. And Tite has an abundance of talent to choose from when he names his final squad.
There is so much competition for places that players such as Alex Sandro have no place in the first or second team.
First team: Ederson; Dani Alves, Marquinhos, David Luiz, Marcelo; Casemiro, Paulinho, Renato Augusto; Philippe Coutinho, Neymar, Gabriel Jesus
Second team: Alisson Becker; Mariano, Thiago Silva, Miranda, Filipe Luis; Fernandinho, Fabinho, Diego Ribas; Willian, Douglas Costa, Roberto Firmino
Substitutes: Diego Alves, Danilo, Jemerson, Rodrigo Caio, Alex Sandro, Walace, Rafinha, Lucas Lima, Lucas Moura, Jonas, Gabriel Barbosa
