While most nations featuring in this year's edition of the biggest sporting festival across the face of the earth have been involved in preparatory games, Brazil have opted against playing warm-up games, as noted by EuroSport.

Regardless of their relatively cautious approach, coach Tite has been putting his charges through the paces in their training sessions.

In their latest training session, footage of Richarlison's incredible technique has been making the rounds on the internet.

The Tottenham forward scored a jaw-dropping acrobatic goal much to the admiration of his teammates during training.

Richarlison makes Brazil squad

Richarlison broke down in tears of joy after hearing his name in the final 26-man squad of Brazil for the World Cup in Qatar.

Having played a role in the qualifiers under coach Tite, the Tottenham star was unsure of his position in the star-studded Brazilian team.

However, his consistent goal-scoring form in the yellow and blue jersey of Brazil has earned him a place in the squad.

Neymar produces masterclass skill

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Neymar has again proven to the world he is a special footballer with an incredible skill set, after demonstrating another magnificent act that stunned his Brazilian teammates.

Brazil stars participated in an extreme touch challenge in a video uploaded online, where a football-holding gadget was hanging an incredible 35 meters in the air.

And in typical Neymar fashion, the PSG star led by example by bringing the ball under immediate control with a ridiculously good first touch, before flicking the ball into his hands, leaving everyone stunned.
