Danilo, Fagner named in Brazil's 23-man World Cup squad
Tite accepted that his team would be among the frontrunners to win football's flagship event for a sixth time.
"Brazil are one of the favorites because of the football we have played, our consistency, our aggressiveness, our goals and our quick transitional play," he said.
The former Corinthians boss revealed he is yet to decide who will start in central defence, with one of Thiago Silva, Miranda and Marquinhos expected to be relegated to the bench.
Likewise, Brazil's coaching staff is mulling over whether to use Barcelona's Philippe Coutinho on the left or in a central midfield role.
One certainty is that Manchester City's Gabriel Jesus will begin the tournament as the team's central striker ahead of Liverpool's Roberto Firmino.
"At first, Gabriel Jesus is our starter. But Roberto Firmino will fight for that position in top form," Tite said. "The challenge is open on the right back, but Danilo has some advantage now because he has performed well recently," Tite said.
Brazil squad:
Goalkeepers: Alisson (Roma), Cassio (Corinthians), Ederson (Manchester City)
Defenders: Danilo (Manchester City), Geromel (Gremio), Filipe Luis (Atletico Mineiro) Marcelo (Real Madrid), Marquinhos (PSG), Miranda (Internazionale), Fagner (Corinthians), Thiago Silva (PSG).
Midfielders: Casemiro (Real Madrid), Fernandinho (Manchester City), Fred (Shakhtar Donetsk), Paulinho (Barcelona), Philippe Coutinho (Barcelona), Renato Augusto (Beijing Guoan), Willian (Chelsea)
Forwards: Douglas Costa (Juventus), Firmino (Liverpool), Gabriel Jesus (Manchester City), Neymar Jr (Barcelona), Taison (Shakhtar Donetsk).
