Hugo Souza celebrates call-up, eyes Flamengo clash | OneFootball

On the rise at Corinthians, Hugo Souza celebrated his call-up to the Brazilian National Team. Last Friday, the goalkeeper was selected to replace Alisson, who suffered an injury. The keeper also looked ahead to the match against Flamengo, for the eighth round of the Brazilian Championship, important for Timão to end the winless streak.

“It is a dream and an immense gratitude to be there. Now I'm going to two very important games to be closer to preparing for the World Cup. I always hope to give my best, always the maximum, to fulfill the dream of playing in a World Cup,” said the goalkeeper, in an interview with Corinthians TV.

Hugo had been frequently called up and will participate in the March friendlies against France and Croatia, in the United States. This was the last call-up before the final list for the June World Cup.

Before the FIFA Date, however, Corinthians has an important match against Flamengo, in the Brasileirão. Timão hasn't won in six games in the competition, and Hugo Souza looked ahead to the match against the team that revealed him.

“It's always good to play games of this magnitude. We know we need the victory a lot and we will fight for it, giving our best. We are well prepared for this match. Our fans will certainly put on a great show,” continued the goalkeeper.

“We will seek these three important points at home, to gain more confidence in the sequence and also so I can go to the FIFA Date with a clear mind (laughs),” concluded Hugo Souza.
