Fred: Brasil Start the Reform

DBasia.news – In every World Cup, Brasil always become the winning candidate. But in fact, Selecao gained the world champion title in the 2002 World Cup. Recently in 2018, Tite squad were eliminated in the quarter-final.

Now, Manchester United midfielder Fred mentioned the tour between Brasil against the US last Friday and El Salvador on September 12 will be a new start for the national team.

Brasil send the starter similar to the 2018 World Cup when they defeated the US with a 2-0 score. The only difference was Fred’s presence to replace Paulinho in the main squad.

Fred stated that the 2022 World Cup is the next target of Brasil and he will make sure of his position in the national team as a regular player.

“For us, it is a time to reform, to start all over again from scratch, looking to 2022,” said Fred, who on Friday is set to make his first Brazil start since June 2015.

“But we have these two friendlies, then we have Copa America, so there are a lot of things ahead of us. The first training session saw us begin to renew the team and the first game (against the USA on Friday) will be very important to the process,” said the former Shakhtar Donetsk player.

Fred was actually listed for Tite squad in Russia. But the ankle injury made him absent from the recent qualification match of Brasil and he couldn’t play at all during the 2018 World Cup.

But since he has been joining the team since March, Fred believed that he won’t have any problem to adapt with the complete squad created by Tite.

“We have been playing together for some time, even though I have not played in the starting line-up. We train together and this is a group that has changed very little. There is a long-term relationship there,” Fred said.
