‘Patinho feio’ e ‘cabelo rosa’: Diniz aposta em caras novas no restante da Seleção BrasileiraThe Brazilian team should take the field against Uruguay with two new players on the sides: Yan Couto and Carlos Augusto should be selected by Fernando Diniz for the South American classic this Tuesday (17), in the Qualifiers, in Montevideo. Both debut as starters in Amarelinha and are little known to the country's public, but they want to establish themselves in the position with a view to 2026.

Against Venezuela, the Girona-ESP boy came on in the first half to replace the injured starter. The full-back, who was formed by Coritiba in 2019 and was an under-17 world champion, left Brazil very early and today, at the age of 21, part of the City squad, he wants to become known to Brazilians, far beyond his pink hair uniform. + Do you want to work at your favorite club? Enroll in the Football Manager course and find out how! - I would like the Brazilian people to recognize me more, to have this more intimate bond. I hope to start building that now, to have a career in the national team. Maybe not everyone follows, I reached 18 years old (in Europe), this year I had a change of mentality, this year I show my football, my best version. - My sister's favorite color is pink, when I did her hair she was very happy. But I did more hair to tell my family that this was my year, I wanted to have a great season, now I can play my best in Europe. The hair is not for showing me or anything, I'm very shy, it's more for me to look in the mirror every day and see that I'm a new person, and that I have my best moment on the field, I can show I'm a rookie in the Brazilian team, Yan Couto explained the origin of his pink hair (Photo: Vitor Silva/CBF) Carlos Augusto has similarities with Yan in addition to his debut as a starter for the team. The left-back, who trained at Corinthians, left Brazil without standing out here and ended up heading to Europe early, to Monza-ITA, which at the time was competing in the country's second division. After three years there, he caught the attention of Inter Milan, where he has been since mid-2023. Who would have thought that he was once an “ugly duckling”. + Injuries force Fernando Diniz to form a 'new Brazilian team' - I've always been the ugly duckling at the base. I even changed positions, striker, midfielder, defender, I did it all. When you are next to these players, you think it was a learning experience, it was good for you to grow as a person. I just have to be grateful for these moments. At 24 years old, Carlos replaced Guilherme Arana, his former Corinthians teammate. Although he is not yet among the most famous in Brazil, in Italy he was invited to defend the national team, but he did not accept. What is certain is that Italian football was fundamental to his career, including his arrival in the national team. - I was called, but I didn't even think about accepting. I grew up in Brazil. Out of respect for Italians, I didn't see myself as Italian, my heart was always Brazilian, I didn't even think about leaving. + Diniz prepares three changes to the selection to face Uruguay; see probable team - My transition to Italian football was essential for my career, I didn't have a follow-up at Corinthians, going there helped me gain confidence, grow as a person, understand Italian football, which is more tactical. When I played in Brazil, they told me I was defensive. In Italy they say I'm offensive. I hope to work on both parts to be as complete as possible. With similar careers and debuts together as starters for the Brazilian National Team, both have the chance to shine and occupy a position that has faced difficulties in finding new players. Both the left and right sides lack absolute starters and this could be the chance for two young people to establish themselves with a view to the 2026 World Cup.
