Marquinhos looks ahead to Brazil v Tunisia clash: "Very important" | OneFootball

This Tuesday, the Brazilian National Team will have its last commitment of 2025, in a friendly match against Tunisia, at 4:30 PM (Brasília time), at the Decathlon Stadium in Lille. Marquinhos, defender for Brazil and PSG, emphasized the importance of ending the FIFA Date with good performance.

“This game is very important. We have played good games and not-so-good games, and our post-match talk with Senegal focused a lot on that. It was a very good game, where the team had a lot of dynamics, a lot of focus, was very compact, and there were many good things to take to the World Cup. To maintain this level, we have to respond again against Tunisia, because in a World Cup we cannot fluctuate,” he stated.

Besides having a good result, Marquinhos stressed that the Brazilian National Team needs to have a convincing performance. He praised the team's performance in the last game and said the goal is to end the FIFA Date with 100% success.

“Achieving two victories in this FIFA Date has been the goal since we got here, and having two good games would be even better. The first was very good, and we have the capacity to play a great match against Tunisia as well. The training sessions were very good, and to finish with a flourish, a victory, a good performance, with the team improving and maintaining what we did well against Senegal, will help us grow for the World Cup,” he said.

The defender also recalled another match against Tunisia in September 2022. On that occasion, Brazil won 5-1 in the last preparatory match for the 2022 World Cup.

“We know it will be a very fierce, hard-fought game. I have faced Tunisia before and remember it was very tough, there was a sending-off, a lot of physical contact, but it was a good game to play and these are things we take as experience for a World Cup. These are very good tests for us, who are used to South American duels with the Qualifiers. Facing teams from other places will bring us the necessary experience for the World Cup,” he concluded.
