  • Manchester United midfielder Fred has been on the receiving end of some hilarious moments from his Brazil teammates
  • He was ejected from Neymar's spot during a team photo and carried around during a training session
  • Brazil will be hoping to keep the high spirits when they get their World Cup campaign going against Serbia

Brazil are yet to kick a ball at this year's FIFA World Cup in Qatar, but there is a general feeling that there is high morale in the camp.

The five-time World Champions are strong favourites and this has been heightened after Saudi Arabia beat the other favourites and continental rivals Argentina.

Manchester United midfielder Fred has been at the center of nearly all the fun moments in the Brazil camp. For lack of a better word, Fred has been bullied repeatedly by his Brazil teammates, but all was in good faith.

In the most recent moment, defender Alex Telles is seen distracting him as he tries to concentrate on a video game. Fred is clearly unhappy and begs Telles to stop.

Telles is also his teammate at Manchester United but is currently on loan at Sevilla.

The video also shows France's game against Australia ongoing in the background. Brazil is keeping an eye on the defending champions as they hope to dethrone them and win a sixth title. They begin their campaign with a clash against Serbia before facing Switzerland and Cameroon.

What else did Fred do?

Sports Brief had earlier reported that in one of the videos from Brazil's training sessions, Manchester United midfielder Fred was mobbed by his teammates, who appeared to bully him in what makes for a hilarious watch.

Fred is seen begging his teammates to stop, but they continue milling around him, led by veteran fullback Dani Alves.

Barcelona winger Raphinha then gets hold of his legs before they carry him up for a few seconds. It is not yet clear what he had done, but it will be a good sign of the team morale who will be facing Serbia, Cameroon and Switzerland in Group G.

Richarlison removed Fred from Neymar's spot

Sports Brief also reported that Fred once again got himself on the wrong side of his Brazil teammates after inadvertently taking up Neymar's spot during Brazil's photo session.

Brazil had organised a quick photo-op at their training base in Turin, Italy, before heading to Qatar for the World Cup.

As the players got ready for the photo shoot, Fred went and positioned himself in a position that was meant to be Neymar's. In a video spotted by Sports Brief, Tottenham Hotspur striker Richarlison went and ejected the diminutive midfielder before planting him somewhere else.
