Hulk has expressed his joy at being recalled to the Brazil squad for the first time since last year’s World Cup.
The 29 year old will join the squad for Brazil’s two friendlies against Costa Rica and the USA. A good performance in either match could secure a place in the team for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers.
“I worked hard, I waited for my opportunity, and thank God a new opportunity has ppeared. Now I have to prepare myself to convince the Seleção professor, Dunga.” Hulk told SporTV.
Kaka has also been recalled to the side for the first time since October. Liverpool midfielder Phillippe Coutinho has surprisingly been left out.
