Among the many problems the Brazilian national team has been having lately, the lack of a convincing centre-forward is a particularly big one.
Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Matheus Cunha is one of those who’ve been called up for the position, but he hasn’t been given a chance to start under Fernando Diniz so far, and is waiting for the opportunity to try to impress the new boss.
The player was now interviewed by Globo Esporte about that situation, and talked about the big competition there is to win such a wanted place in the national team.
Despite that, Cunha claimed to be confident about his potential to earn the national team’s number nine in the near future.
“I know the qualities I have, what I can bring to the team and to the proposal that Professor Fernando Diniz has for the team.”
The player also claimed that he’ll always play for Wolves thinking of drawing the national team’s attention.
“I’m going to keep working day in, day out and doing my best here with Wolves, because I know I’ll be watched.”
Since Diniz’s arrival, the striker made three appearances, but was only brought in at the end of the games, and didn’t contribute to any goals.
Featuring for Wolves this season, Cunha has two goals and one assist in 11 games, having scored against Crystal Palace and Bournemouth.
