Welcome to Seleção Bootcamp… a Fútbolita tradition! To make up for lost time (desculpe, desculpe), here’s a series of candid shots featuring Mano’s manos getting ready for the Copa America which officially kicks off on Friday. First up, we don’t know exactly what’s going on here but Robinho‘s pose resembles one of those freaky Tiger mascots on cereal boxes (“Take yo’ cereal every morning, kids!”) with a little backup from Ganso and co’.

Next up, we’re not kidding when we tell you that it’s Lucas Leiva on a horse right there. POOOR FAVOR, ME DIGA!! Who came up with the marketing campaigns for the Brazilian team? Is this supposed to be a ‘Visit Argentina – the land of the wild and free’ poster? The word ‘awkward’ does not even BEGIN to describe this project in its entirety!
It’s been pretty much the same schedule in the last couple of days. Morning training (gym conditioning), press interviews and another training in the afternoon. Enjoy the rest of the shots and we’ll be bringing you more along with Brazil’s Copa America journey in the next coming days. As part of the Brazilian NT tradition, they also get new players to stand on chairs and announce (“from the heart”) how proud they are to wear green and yellow. This time, Ganso became Robinho’s subject of ridicule (and he clearly couldn’t find the words!)
