Brazil fixtures: Rodrygo sees friendlies as a "World Cup" | OneFootball

Attacker Rodrygo is back with the Brazilian National Team after more than six months of absence and promises seriousness in the friendlies against South Korea and Japan in this FIFA date. It will be a chance to prove his worth to coach Carlo Ancelotti's team, aiming for next year's World Cup.

"There's nothing friendly about it (...). Every game for us is as if we were already in the World Cup," said Rodrygo.

New on the list

The 24-year-old attacker was called up for the first time since Ancelotti's arrival in Brazil, at the beginning of June. His last game for the National Team was in March.

Despite the achievements with the Italian at Real Madrid, Rodrygo showed modesty when talking about the possibility of being part of the Brazilian squad in next year's World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

Rodrygo has 33 games for the National Team, in which he scored seven goals.

Brazil's Schedule

After the commitment against South Korea on Friday in Seoul, Brazil will face Japan next Tuesday in Tokyo, in another friendly.
