“I’m upset, sad, about not being called up but the focus remains day after day, training after training, game after game.”
“We’re going to achieve our goal. There’s still one final call-up left and the dream lives on. That’s it, we’re in this together.”
At the 2026 World Cup, Brazil have been drawn Group C with Morocco, Haiti and Scotland.
