Chile’s star player, Alexis Sanchez, says he is excited about the prospect of facing Brazil tomorrow in the second round of the World Cup, when he will also be up against a couple of club colleagues.
Barcelona’s Sanchez must try to mastermind a win over a host nation that boast the talents of Daniel Alves and Neymar, who regularly line up alongside the striker for the Spanish giants.
Sanchez told reporters: “I think Brazil is the team with the best defence. They have great quality in their squad and I’m really happy that we will play Brazil and Neymar.”
“I have the pleasure of playing against some of my fellow club members, Neymar and Dani Alves, and I will enjoy this game.”
“Hopefully we can demonstrate that we can keep our performances that put us amongst the best.”
The game kicks of tomorrow at 1700 GMT, with live updates on Sambafoot throughout the day.
