Brazil open their 2024 Copa America campaign against Costa Rica on Monday in Los Angeles with a completely new look almost from top to bottom, with Real Madrid’s rising star Vinicius Jr leading a squad that has been waiting for a opportunity for a new beginning.
After a heartbreaking penalty shootout defeat to Croatia in the Qatar 2022 World Cup quarter-finals, Brazil brought in two interim coaches as they waited almost a year to try to attract the Coach Carlo Ancelotti of Real Madrid.
He claimed a 1-0 win over England at Wembley and battled back to a 3-3 draw with Spain at the Bernabeu earlier this year.
In both matches his hero was teenage sensation Endrick, who became the youngest to score at Wembley at the age of 17 and equalized a few days later against Spain, making Real Madrid fans salivate then that he would soon join the European champion.
The Copa America will be the first time Dorival will have time to work intensively with his players, who will face Costa Rica after a three-week training camp in Florida before facing Paraguay and Colombia in Group D.
With the focus primarily on world champions Argentina and Lionel Messi now playing in MLS, Brazil will begin their Copa America campaign without high expectations – something Dorival will know from his experience at club level.
