“We expect, against Uruguay, a very strong opponent, but they will also see the strength of Brazilian football. We have not lost. We have drawn two games and won one. We have not lost in the competition,” claimed of the Porto defender in the mixed zone from Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
Wendell also asked his country’s fans for “a little patience” because, he said, they are “the winningest team in the world.” “We are ready to face Uruguay and any other opponent,” he said.
