"It was an order that came. I supported my team-mate so he could score the goal. Unfortunately, he missed, but he held his head high. [We must improve] because in a World Cup we have to take advantage of these opportunities."
"A very special year. I don't think I had many ups and downs, but I was able to handle everything that happened, Being here with the national team means that the work has been done well at the club and at home, so I'm very happy to represent the national team. Obviously, we always come here to help, and I'm very happy about that."
Brazil drew 1-1 with Tunisia in a friendly in Lille after Hazem Mastouri opened the scoring in the 23rd minute at Stade Pierre-Mauroy. Chelsea winger Estevao equalised from the spot before half-time. A late second penalty was awarded, but team orders led Estevao to yield the kick to Lucas Paqueta, who blazed it over. Estevao struck the post in the closing seconds. The result left Carlo Ancelotti's side with a sour end to 2025. The 18-year-old has risen rapidly to become a regular for Chelsea and Brazil and expressed pride in representing the national team while noting the need to improve ahead of the World Cup.
