After Brazil's 4-0 friendly win over India, Pedro spoke to the media in the mixed zone about his return to the national team, his first call-up under Ancelotti, and his expectations for Brazil's new cycle.
Pedro, it's clear you've missed this atmosphere with the Brazil national team. You played today, scored a goal, and provided an assist. Tell us about your feelings on returning.
I'm very happy to have started for the Brazil national team for the first time. I tried to enjoy everything here as much as possible, not just today's match, but also every day of training with the national team. These training sessions are equally important, not only for me but for the entire team.
I'm delighted that the team won. This match wasn't easy; playing in this stadium, in this kind of live environment, was also difficult to manage. However, I'm happy with the result and with my goal. I hope to continue earning opportunities with the Brazil national team. God willing, I also hope to score more goals for Brazil.
This is your first call-up under Ancelotti. Talk about how important this selection is to you. Unfortunately, previous injuries caused you to miss the last cycle. Today you scored a goal and provided an assist; what does this mean to you?
As I just said, I'm trying to enjoy everything here as much as possible, not just the matches but also the training. It's important to spend this time with the entire team. I'm very happy to have been called up by Ancelotti for the first time, and I'm glad I could seize this opportunity. I hope the Brazil national team can achieve success in this new cycle.
I hope we can all enjoy every moment here, because being part of the Brazil national team is truly special and brings great joy.
