Bruno Guimaraes Speaks Ahead of World Cup Debut

Bruno Guimaraes emphasized the significance of Brazil's opening World Cup match, stating the first step is the most important.

The midfielder showed confidence after the wins in the last two friendlies, against Panama and Egypt.

Bruno Guimaraes assessed the national team's current form in a press conference held on June 8 at The Ridge hotel in New Jersey, United States.

He said the team had great moments in those two friendlies and are getting more ready and focused.

The player stressed the importance of starting the tournament with a win in the opener against Morocco on June 13.

He emphasized that everything is based on the first match, and they really want to start off on the right foot.

Bruno Guimaraes highlighted the importance of coach Carlo Ancelotti in solidifying his role as a player for the Brazil national team.

Called up for his second World Cup, Bruno has played a bigger role in this cycle than he did in the build-up to the 2022 tournament.

He sees himself as a more ready and calm player to experience this moment, having scored the first goal in the 2-1 win over Egypt.

The 26 players selected by Ancelotti have individual quality, but Bruno commented that talent alone is not enough to have a good World Cup.

At a World Cup, you have to work hard, run with all eleven, defend when you have to defend, and attack when you have to attack, he said.

"I think I'm a much more ready player today than I was four years ago," Bruno Guimaraes explained.

The press room at The Ridge hotel was packed for Bruno Guimaraes's press conference.

He was the one who, in one of his first call-ups, called me over and asked where I wanted to play, where I felt most comfortable playing, Bruno Guimaraes explained about coach Carlo Ancelotti.

"It takes a lot of heart and believing until the very end," he concluded.

The midfielder has played a bigger role in this cycle than he did in the build-up to the 2022 tournament, having more experience and being more established.

"We can't wait to get started," Bruno Guimaraes said, showing confidence after the recent friendly wins.

The team has a week to work, to clear up all of the coach's doubts, but they feel prepared and ready.

"I feel much more experienced, I don't spend as much energy on things I did four years ago," Bruno Guimaraes explained.

"So I feel much calmer about stepping in and playing," he added.

The player also stressed the importance of coach Carlo Ancelotti in giving him the confidence to play for the Brazil national team.

"He was someone who gave me that freedom to show the best football I play at club level," Bruno Guimaraes said.
