Substitute creates 2 goals! Brazilian striker Enrique: Ancelotti s appreciation of me means a lot

September 5th, Brazil defeated Chile 3-0 at home. After the game, Zenit winger Luis Enrique, who came on the bench to create two goals, was interviewed by Brazilian media and talked about his performance.

When you go to Russia to play football, have you ever thought about losing your attention?

When I went to Russia, I kept in touch with my friends, we talked through video calls and group chats. A friend of mine said to me, "You are not buried, but protected by God." When my friend said this, I became more determined. Whenever I think of this, I feel excited. I know a lot of people support me, so I have to always go all out and help the team in the best possible state.

Talking about the first contact with Ancelotti, although not a complete direct contact, it was very important to me when I learned that he admired me. He is an extraordinary coach who has won numerous honors in the international arena. I am happy with my performance today and proud to be able to help Brazil, and I hope to stay in this form for the days to come.

Do you think your teammates have snatched the goal that should belong to you?

is a little (laughing), but the most important thing is that the team wins.

Do you feel that you are becoming more likely to participate in the World Cup?

I have to work harder, be myself, and play football modestly.
