I can’t say that if I came earlier (to Brazil) I would have this opportunity, but I am working on getting it, both now and later. Markal said.

– There are many good players in Brazil, but they have different playing characteristics. Today, given the scenario, not only for the Brazilian players in Brazil, but in the world, I will make the Brazilian team play better on the left side because of the style of play. Here in our Botafogo jivenio On the left side and in the selection there is a player of the same style (NeymarAnd the Vinicius Jr), I see myself making this player play. Back there, the selection doesn’t need a player as much as it does Marcelo They went, today they need more safety and a good ball, it’s my style. I can’t say if there is a better one than me, they are two different styles, but looking at the world stage I see myself as a better fit for this team. – He said.
