Brazil's Selecao have employed an unusual tactics in their preparation for their friendly against Argentina La Albiceleste at King Abdullah Sports City
The encounter which holds on Tuesday, saw coach Tite in the mix as he intensifies effort to put the Selecao in good shape, ahead of the cracker against Albiceleste after claiming a win over Saudi Arabia last week.
According to a UK Daily Mail report, Selecao captain and Paris Saint-Germain superstar Neymar appeared relaxed with 24-hour to the big match.
The PSG man was caught on camera attempting to nutmeg Felipe Luis by passing the ball through his legs, to the excitement of other teammates not Luis.
At the end of the session, the Brazilians headed for the dunes of Jeddah to have some nice time.
While Neymar and Marquinhos prefered posing for the camera in the dune buggy, Richarlison and Manchester City's Ederson opted trying out a thawb, which is a traditional Arab dress.
Interestingly, by the time the game commences on Tuesday, all the smiles would have disappeared.
And Tite is hoping the Selecao squad will perform better against fellow South American foes Argentina when compared to the not too impressive 2-0 win over Saudi Arabia on Friday.
"We were not convincing.
"We won because he had creativity up front and that was it. Brazil versus Argentina is never a friendly. We hope to be better for that," Tite was quoted as saying after the match.
Neymar and City's Gabriel Jesus were the top strikers against Saudi Arabia, but expect Tite to reshuffle his team a bit especially upfront where Roberto Firmino could be drafted in as a replacement for Jesus.
