We started 2026 on the right foot. Now, we're going into June and July. If God wills it, everything will go well and Brazil will be champions again

The Brazilian forward has not played for his national team since 2023 and has not yet been considered by Carlo Ancelotti. If he wants to be present at the World Cup, he will have to play against time to convince a coach who has said that he will only take players who are 100%.
