📹 Matheus Cunha rules out Brazil revenge against Croatia in friendly, watch Brazil takes the field this Tuesday (31) in Orlando for its final major test before the final squad announcement for the 2026 World Cup — and it comes against a special opponent: Croatia. The Croatians were responsible for eliminating Brazil in the last World Cup. For attacking midfielder Matheus Cunha, however, the mood in the locker room is not one of “revenge,” and there is no room for resentment.
In a press conference on Monday (30), he highlighted the importance of facing a European powerhouse at this crucial stage of the cycle. According to the player, the experience of testing themselves against national teams at the top of the world game is essential for the development of Carlo Ancelotti’s squad. “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 have this opportunity.
There’s no way to see it as revenge; we see it as an opportunity. We want to go out there and come away with the win, because there is no other mindset with this shirt than to win the match. ” Group morale and the 'Ancelotti Effect' Despite the 2-1 defeat to France last Thursday, Cunha assured that the team’s confidence remains unshaken.
He stressed that the setback, although frustrating, also showed that Brazil still has “a lot of room for improvement” with two months to go before the World Cup. “It hasn’t changed our confidence at all. You journalists, the fans, and we players all have the same idea of what to do: win the World Cup, just like the great idols.
