Militão on playing at full-back, praises Brazil squad’s teamwork | OneFootball

In the friendly match against Senegal, in which Brazil won 2-0 at Emirates Stadium in London, Éder Militão was deployed as a right-back. It was the first time he played in that position under the management of Carlo Ancelotti.

“Today was a solid game, a good game from everyone in terms of defensive behavior. Ancelotti asked me if I had any problem playing as a full-back, and I said no. In some Real Madrid games, I played as a full-back. I’m happy with my performance and to be able to help the team in some way,” said Militão in an interview with SporTV.

“Militão has a different profile from the other right-backs, it could be Wesley or Vanderson. I’m going to ask for something of different quality and a different way of playing. It’s an option we can have at the World Cup, to give the team more solidity at the back,” said Carlo Ancelotti at the press conference before the friendly.

Teamwork

Regarding the Brazilian National Team, Militão highlighted the evolution and unity of the squad.

“I’m very happy to see the progress we’re making in defense and in team spirit. I think that when the players understand what the coach asks for, dedication becomes easier. We know the quality we have, but this unity we have is fundamental and cannot be missing,” he concluded.

Brazil’s Next Match
