The Brazil captain says he won’t be looking to avenge the Selecao’s 1998 World Cup final defeat, but is expecting a real test at Stade de France.

Neymar says he cannot wait for a ‘great’ test his side will face in Thursday’s Chevrolet Brasil Global Tour clash with France. The Barcelona forward has been in inspired form since inheriting the captaincy from Thiago Silva following last year’s World Cup, hitting seven goals as he led Dunga’s side to six consecutive victories. Neymar was quoted in GOAL: “I love to play games like this. Two huge national teams, and a packed stadium in the opponent’s home. It will be a great game. I remember the game and France’s three goals very well. We were all very sad at home. But this match has nothing to do with 1998. That story has been overcome. Brazil are five-time world champions. These are very important matches to see where we need to improve and where we still have problems. These will be matches at a very high level and a good test.”
