As Fulham striker Rodrigo Muniz had this week a word with ESPN Brasil, he brought a little advice for the players from the national team who are facing one of his teammates at Craven Cottage.
Since Brazil are playing the World Cup opening match against Serbia, the 21-year-old talked about Aleksandar Mitrovic, who could apparently cause some problems to Thiago Silva and Marquinhos at the start of the tournament.
“It’s hard to give advice to these guys. They are the greats. Mitrovic, inside the box, he’s a joke. He comes out to play very well, he is a complete striker. It’s complicated,” Muniz told ESPN Brasil.
Playing for Boro this season, he has two goals and five assists.
The striker joined the Whites on an €8m deal from Flamengo in the summer of 2021, and had eight goals in 28 appearances in his first season at the Craven Cottage, helping the club to get the promotion to the Premier League.
However, the competition for a place in the team, including with Mitrovic, was one of the reasons he went to get more minutes somewhere else.
