Matheus Cunha does not see clash with Croatia as revenge Forward Matheus Cunha did not echo the idea that this Tuesday’s (31) friendly in Orlando (USA) against Croatia can be seen as revenge for what happened in the quarterfinals of the 2022 World Cup. On that occasion, Brazil was leading 1-0 and conceded a goal due to a lapse in concentration right at the end. Then, in the penalty shootout, they lost 4-2.
“There’s no way to see it as revenge. We see it as an opportunity, and we want to go out there and come away with the win, because there is no other mindset when wearing this shirt than to win the match,” said the Manchester United forward during a press conference held this Monday (30) in Orlando.

“Croatia and France are national teams on the highest shelves of world football. Normally, we don’t get many experiences like these matches. We play within South American football.
It’s wonderful to be having this opportunity. ” He stressed that the loss to France did not shake the group’s confidence. “Nothing has changed.
You journalists and we players have the same idea of what to do. (We want) to be World Cup champions, like great idols. Regardless of the defeat, which leaves us disappointed, it also shows us a certain calmness, because we have a path.
