Marquinhos praises defense and praises the team’s “aggressive game”

Hero of the Brazilian team’s second victory under the command of Fernando Diniz, defender Marquinhos praised the team’s defense, but made a point of highlighting the team’s more aggressive style on the field, always looking to attack. The only goal in Brazil’s victory over Peru was scored in the 44th minute of the second half.

“I think this will be the face of the team. We have a very aggressive game, the teacher insists a lot on that. At the same time, it was very good that we didn’t concede a goal in the match. We have to get the result, regardless of the way the opponent plays. Today it was a dead ball, which no one imagined, but that’s where the game is defined too”, he commented.

Before the goal conceded, in the final moments of the match, the team found the back of the net twice, but the shots were canceled in the first half. The team still created other good opportunities throughout the 90 minutes. If the attack failed to score more goals, the defense was effective this time. In their debut in the Qualifiers, Brazil had conceded a goal against Bolivia.

On Tuesday night, the team led by Diniz had the reinforcement of Gabriel Jesus, called up at the last minute to replace Antony. The game marked the return of the Arsenal striker, who has been out of the squad since being injured in the match against Cameroon, in the final round of the 2022 World Cup group stage.

“It’s never easy to play against them here, at their home. Our team remained focused towards the goal to get the victory, which was what we wanted. Thanks to the entire team, the team has been evolving, these were three very important points”, celebrated the attacker.
