Brazil goalkeeper Julio Cesar has admitted he is anxious about next month’s World Cup.
The 34 year-old, who is currently on loan at Toronto FC from Queens Park Rangers is, however, excited about the tournament, especially as it is being held on home soil.
I’m very anxious [about the World Cup]," he said, as reported by mlssoccer.com. "It’s getting close to the time to meet up with the team and start on this important journey. The whole country is obviously preoccupied [with protests and strikes] but we hope things get settled before the World Cup.
"Every World Cup is a big opportunity; they all have their own flavour. This one being in Brazil is even more special for me; it’s my country, my family is there and I just have God to thank for the opportunity to play in this World Cup."
