After Real Madrid drew 2-2 at home to Elche, four Brazilian internationals Casemiro, Vinicius, Militão and Rodrigo set off to report to the national team today to prepare for the next two World Cups. According to the "As" newspaper, Real Madrid successfully persuaded the Brazilian Football Association to send the four international footballers back to the capital Madrid after the end of this international match day.
Previously, Brazil has qualified from the South American zone of the World Preliminary Round, and the Samba Army will advance to the final round of the World Cup in Qatar. In the remaining two world qualifier rounds, Brazil will first face Ecuador away (22:00 P.M. Spain time on Thursday) and then return home to face Paraguay (1:30 a.m. Spain time next Wednesday).
It is understood that Real Madrid have been in consultation with the Brazilian Football Association for several days, and the club hopes to let the four Brazilian internationals return early after the battle against Ecuador, so that they can have plenty of time to rest and prepare before facing Bilbao in the copa del Rey quarter-finals (21:30 P. Spain time next Thursday).
However, the request was rejected by Brazilian coach Tite. In the end, Real Madrid at least persuaded the Brazilian Football Association to cooperate with the other side to send the four Brazilian internationals back to Madrid after the battle with Paraguay (expected to arrive at 18:00 Spain time next Wednesday). At that time, the four of them will not be able to participate in the training the day before the game, but will return directly to their accommodation to rest and adjust the jet lag.
Finally, it is certain that another Real Madrid international Uruguayan midfielder Federico Valverde will not be able to return in time, because Uruguay's qualifying situation is critical and Valverde will do his best to help the team in the next two "finals".
