DORIVAL JR IN THE NATIONAL TEAM!
Presented as the new coach of the Brazilian national team, Dorival Jr was quite emotional during the press conference. When recalling the difficulties he faced, the coach seemed very happy for the opportunity. However, he doesn’t have much time to celebrate and has already demonstrated how the work will work. According to him, “From now on it is not Dorival’s selection, it is the Brazilian people’s selection“.
“Today I am here representing the most successful team on the planet, the one that inspires many people around the world. And it has an obligation to win again. Brazilian football is very strong, it reinvents itself. It cannot go through the moment it is going through. May this serve as a lesson so that we can find a new path. We need to deliver a reliable team that gives credibility to all of us.“, he said Dorival Jr.
“It’s a pleasure, I’m sincerely moved, after everything I’ve been through, and especially in the last six, seven years, managing to overcome two very difficult moments in my home. My wife had a very aggressive cancer, and I was also diagnosed shortly after. This made me even stronger and I was able to rethink aspects of my career.“, remembered.
