"The position I like most to play is on the left. I'd rather be there, but I had a conversation with Dorival and I made it clear that I can also do both number nine and right-hand as well. I'll leave it to him. If he needs it, I will be available in all positions, but I prefer the left end", scored Martinelli.

The friendly face of the Mexicans is part of the preparation of the team for the Cup America competition. The ball rolls at 10:00 pm (from Brasilia) this Saturday (8), at Kyle Field, Texas. Next Wednesday (12), Brazil faces the United States in Orlando to close preparations.
