Bremer, who scored Brazil’s goal in the 2-1 defeat to France, lamented the loss on Thursday (26) at Gillette Stadium in Boston and praised the opposing side as “one of the best in the world.”

“A very difficult match, France is one of the best in the world. But we performed well, we did what the coach asked. Unfortunately, we ended up conceding a goal while playing out from the back, but the team responded well. Unfortunately, we couldn’t win, but it was a good match to show the coach that we’re here,” he said.

The 29-year-old defender pulled one back late in the second half after finishing from close range off an assist from Luiz Henrique. The goal spurred Brazil on to fight for the equalizer until the end.

Called up for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the Itapitanga, Bahia native had not been selected for the national team since the 2024 Copa América and scored his first goal for Brazil — he has made six appearances in total. During his time away, he had to overcome an anterior cruciate ligament injury in his left knee suffered in October 2024, one of the most serious injuries for an athlete.

“I’m coming off a year out, with a cruciate ligament injury, my name was never really mentioned, or was only rarely mentioned. But I always had it in my head that when the opportunity came, I would be ready. And it was no different. Today I managed to have a good game, and I hope I gave the coach a strong performance to look at,” he said.

After the friendly against France, Brazil will return to Orlando later this Thursday to face Croatia next Tuesday (31) at 9 p.m. Brasília time at Camping World Stadium.
