You have to play beautifully with the ball and also without the ball, which is an important aspect of the game.” 21. TRAINING SESSION IN PROGRESS 22.

(SOUNDBITE) (Portuguese) BRAZIL MIDFIELDER, BRUNO GUIMARAES, SAYING: "We understand that the group of players is not yet defined, so it is normal for the coach to want to test them. We know that a World Cup is not about the eleven players, but about who will be called up, because a lot can happen in a short competition and there can be injuries and suspensions. So you have to define the group of who will play, who will be on the bench, in short, I think it's important to play and obviously as we get closer to the World Cup we want to be participating, gaining rapport. I think that since the coach took over, we've been on a very good run and we hope to continue like this, following this good path.” 33. FAN TAKING PHOTO WITH RODRYGO 34. BRAZIL PLAYERS ON STAND 35.
