Brazil"s newest star Anderson Talisca has revealed how the senior squad made him feel welcome after he joined up from the Under-21s.

The Benfica star was on his way to join the Under-21s before an injury to Lucas Moura saw him called up by Dunga to be the Paris Saint-Germain winger"s replacement.

Speaking on how he was welcomed into the senior set-up, the 20-year-old told Globo: ‘Of course I needed to give a speech and I had goosebumps, but it was fine.

‘The group caused me [to make the speech], but it was very cool to present myself like that to my teammates and the coaching staff.

‘I had to sing a song and tell a joke."

Talisca was named amongst the substitutes in Thursday"s 4-0 win against Turkey in Istanbul, and the youngster could make his debut against Austria next week.
