I've already made it clear that I'm an employee of CBF and the president has given me this opportunity. The first challenge was the South American, and I think the conquest has increased my credibility in CBF. Wearing the selection shirt, I always tried to pass on to these athletes the feeling and what I think about football: spirit, attitude, soul delivery. Based on that, we did a summons where we tried to maintain the base of the Cup with 11 names. It is also time to provide new athletes, who have demonstrated a very good performance.

This is the first game of the team after the World Cup. Ramon Menezes took office temporarily after Tite left, while CBF (Brazilian Football Confederation) did not define the name of the new coach.
