The Brazilian side have landed in Argentina to begin preparations ahead of the Copa America.

Mano Menezes and team touched down in Buenos Aires last night before travelling by coach to Los Cardales, where they will be based for the next week.

Reigning champions Brazil begin their campaign on July 3, taking on Venezuela, before facing Paraguay on July 9 and Ecuador on July 13.
