""We're getting to know each other better. I play in England, Vini plays in Spain, and Raphinha is at another club. We need to be training together just as we do at our clubs, where we spend the whole year. With the national team, you do things differently to how you do them at your club, so you need to adapt quickly.""
""With more training time, things start to run more smoothly. Things will start to click soon enough.""
""Back in the day we had Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Romário, but if you look at football today, Brazil has players like that.""
João Pedro believes Brazil's attacking players will soon gel as they adapt to playing together. Fans have expressed disappointment following a recent 2-1 loss to France, particularly missing Neymar. Brazil's coach fielded a strong lineup, but standout players like Vinícius and Raphinha have struggled to perform. Pedro emphasizes the need for more training time to improve cohesion. He also notes that the pressure of not winning the World Cup in 24 years affects the players' performances, despite having talent comparable to past legends.
