Brazil defender, Marquinhos opened the game against Messi’s Argentina and what to expect from the classic clash this Tuesday, 21st, in the Qualifiers
Marquinhosdefender of Brazilian Teamwas sincere about the Argentina in Messi and designed the confrontation against the team in the South American Qualifiers to the World Cup 2026. Canarinho is coming from an oscillating moment in the season: the last two times it entered the field, it was defeated (by Uruguay and for Colombia).
“It could be a very important game for this growth, against a great opponent and a great football stage. It is a delicate moment in our process, when the results are not coming, and it is this type of game that makes us grow”, explained Marquinhos. Furthermore, the captain highlighted the work done in recent days to recover the national squad from the setback suffered in Barranquilla.
“These days were very productive here at Granja. We were able to focus on mistakes we made in the Colombia game and in some other games. We made the corrections, the teacher detailed it with videos, conversations and in the field. We also prepared some defensive and offensive things to face Argentina, who are very experienced and have been playing together for a long time. We try to prepare ourselves in the best way possible”he completed.
Regarding the ‘Messi factor’ in the ‘Hermana’ team, the defender was categorical: “Genius. He is a unique player, despite his age he will always be doing great things. As a friend and companion, I enjoyed a lot in PSG. I grew up with him in every aspect. Tomorrow, unfortunately, is an opponent. I’m talking to my teammates to – cancel out wouldn’t be the word – take away his actions in the game. Differentiated player, we have to be careful. A lot of things about Argentina pass through him.”
