Captain Marquinhos to the rescue. While Brazil currently finds itself in a delicate situation in the race for the 2026 World Cup, the central defender of Paris Saint-Germain has asked for the support of the Brazilian people. At a press conference, the captain of the Seleção called on his compatriots not to lose interest in the national team, orphaned by Neymar, and in a crisis of results, as evidenced by the draw (1-1) against Venezuela during the last match.
“Don’t abandon the Brazilian team, don’t put us aside! This is my third World Cup cycle and I can say with certainty that everyone here came to wear the Brazilian team jersey with a lot of pride, a lot of faith, a lot of hope and a lot of dignity. We live this moment as if it were the last of our lives, as if it were a unique opportunity. As far as I am concerned, every time I come here, it is with great pride and happiness. Wearing the Brazilian team jersey is a privilege for everyone here. We know that many people support and follow the Brazilian team. We see the children at the door of our hotel, who are very proud to see the players. So never lose that passion, because it’s Brazil, it’s the Brazilians and we on the team are very proud and very honored to be here.”said the 30-year-old defender. A true cry from the heart.
