RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Brazilian coach Tite included Manchester City's Fernandinho for his Copa America squad on Friday, but there was no place for Spurs forward Lucas Moura or Liverpool midfielder Fabinho. "Fernandinho knows what we expect, he knows his responsibility," Tite told reporters, saying he was mature enough to cope with past criticism. "Choosing two holding midfielders between Casemiro, Fernandinho and Fabinho is hard," Tite added. Moura, meanwhile, lost out despite scoring the hat-trick that took Spurs into the final of the Champions League. Brazil host the Copa America between June 14 and July 7, kicking off against Bolivia before facing Venezuela and Peru.
