Carlos Augusto praises Asian football and celebrates new Brazil call-up | OneFootball

A product of Corinthians, fullback Carlos Augusto, currently at Inter Milan, is back with the Brazilian National Team. The 26-year-old player praised the "Asian school" of South Korea and Japan, Brazil's opponents in this October's FIFA date, on the 10th and 14th.

"We know that the Asian school is very disciplined tactically. They run and always give their maximum in every ball. I think they will be two very difficult games, even being friendlies, so we have to do our best, represent our country in the best way and always come out with the victory," said Carlos Augusto.

New Opportunity with Ancelotti

This is the second time Carlos Augusto has been called up by coach Carlo Ancelotti. Before this opportunity for the October games, the player was on the list for the June matches against Ecuador and Paraguay, but did not play.

Now, he seeks to actually play again with the Brazilian jersey, something that has not happened since November 2023, when he played in Brazil's defeat to Argentina, at Maracanã.

"Of course, it's every player's dream to always represent our National Team, and I ended up coming with Diniz. Then, I was away for a year and a half and I'm working very hard to keep coming. And it's very good to have this confidence, I think it's the result of work, so I always hope to do my best at the club and in my daily life here to better represent our country," celebrated Carlos.
