Andrey Santos feels “confident” ahead of new chapter with Brazil

Andrey Santos expresses "confidence" about a new chapter with the Brazilian national team. Having narrowly missed out on the World Cup squad, he has been selected for friendlies against Australia, India and Japan, and Singapore since September. At a press conference, the 22-year-old midfielder revealed his delight at these opportunities and stressed the importance of performing well in his club, Manchester United, to secure more call-ups.

Santos, a versatile player who can play as a defensive midfielder or further forward, said he is ready to adapt to different positions as required by the coach. He highlighted his pride in reuniting with old teammates Marlon Gomes and Rayan, both of whom he grew up with in the Vasco academy. Brazil faces Japan in the first friendly on Saturday, followed by a match against the hosts on Tuesday.
