Joao Miranda has been speaking ahead of Brazil’s encounter against Chile on Thursday where he will come face to face with Inter team mate Gary Medel.
Here is what Miranda had to say ahead of Brazil’s first World Cup 2018 qualifier:
“For me, Chile are favourites, you can’t hide it. It will be a big challenge against the South American champions.”
“We are Brazil, we are respected all over the world. It will be a great game, we’ll try to get a good result, qualifying matches are different from others, these games are much harder.”
“It’s time to leave behind everything that has happened, w can regret no longer the disappointing Copa America.”
Miranda finally reserved a joke for Gary Medel:
“He will arrive a bit more tired. I hope that thanks to this slight advantage due to my rest, I can have the best game.”

please stay fit, no more injuries
These two are awesome but I’m excited to see the murrilo/miranda partnership back again
Yeah and personally I think we’ve missed Medel in midfield cutting out those counter attacks. I also feel we’re more solid at the back with jj in there too…
yeah
santon-miranda-murilo-JJ
medel-melo-kondog
jovetic-icardi-perisic
with 3 butcher (Medel-Melo-Kondog) we must dominate midfield
Yeah I hope so…I would also really like to see the 4-2-3-1 in action but with Ljajic/jojo/perisic as the 3…
