Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart believes that if England can beat Brazil at Wembley on Wednesday then they have no-one to fear ahead of next year’s World Cup.
Hart, 25, believes it would be a great achievement to beat the Seleção in the game to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Football Association and is looking forward to playing a country he has always admired.
“Brazil are such a big name in football and to beat them would be very special,” Hart told the London Evening Standard.
“If we can beat them, we can beat anyone. I grew up watching the magic of Brazil so it would be a really special match to play in.
“As a kid I remember watching the skills of Ronaldo and Ronaldinho and now there are new names like Neymar and Oscar.
“Even as a goalkeeper, you want to play Brazil. My first World Cup memories are from USA ’94, which Brazil won.
“England weren’t there so I think I was an Ireland fan for that. But the only way I will enjoy the game is if we come out with a positive result.”
The Shrewsbury-born star will win his 28th cap for his country against Brazil, for whom it is Luiz Felipe Scolari’s first game back in charge since replacing Mano Menezes in December.
