Cunha: Playing for Manchester United is a dream come true, I can also play as a No. 9 if needed

Hupu News on November 18: Before the match between Brazil and Tunisia was about to start, Manchester United forward Cunha appeared in the mixed mining area and accepted interviews from media reporters. During the interview, Cunha discussed in detail his relationship with Manchester United teammate Mbemo, the pressure he endured while playing for Manchester United, and his favorite position on the field.

How is your current situation at Manchester United?

As I have always said, I am truly honored to be able to wear the Manchester United jersey and compete on the field. Manchester United is one of the largest and most influential clubs in the world, and to be part of it is a huge affirmation in itself. Now that I can represent the national team, I have a similar feeling.

Do you think Manchester United's head coach Amorim is still under tremendous pressure?

No, in my opinion that is not the case. To be honest, playing for a world-famous club like Manchester United is a new experience for me every game and every training session. However, I never saw this as a burden, but rather as a privilege. And, for every different situation the team faces, we are able to work together to find effective solutions.

Amorim just won the Coach of the Month, and Mbemo also won the Player of the Month. What is it like to play side by side with him on the court?

This feeling is simply great! Mbemo is an extremely good player. To be honest, these questions you asked made my mind wander back to Manchester United. But at the moment, all my attention is on the Brazilian team. But it is undeniable that being able to play for Manchester United is an extremely wonderful thing in itself. Being able to play with an excellent player like Mbemo and being coached by a coach has made me gain a lot. As I said before, I have always believed that it is a great honor to play for Manchester United.

What is your favorite position?

My favorite position is to be able to stand on the court and do my best to help my team. Of course, now in the Brazilian national team, the coach has assigned me different tasks, and my position needs to be slightly deeper. When the team plays the ball, I have to take on the responsibility of helping the team sort out the offense. When attacking, I also have to actively participate in the offense like a forward. However, I feel very good about this arrangement.

About the current performance and progress of the Brazilian national team

Since Ancelotti took charge, he has shown an extremely positive attitude towards the Brazilian national team. The Brazilian national team needs a coach with a prestigious reputation that matches his status, and Ancelotti is exactly the person who meets this requirement. We don’t have to count how many victories he has won in European competitions. When you are lucky enough to have a coach like Ancelotti, it means that you have taken a solid step on the road to success.

In last Saturday's match between Brazil and Senegal, Brazil defeated their opponents 2-0

It was crucial to see the team become more solid. The team performed well in the pressure phase. When implementing high-pressure tactics, 11 players worked together to press, defend and attack together. Moreover, during the attack, the players will also position themselves well to prevent the opponent from counterattacking or creating a threatening attack.

In the seven games coached by Ancelotti, the Brazilian team has successfully kept clean sheets in five games. The two games lost to Bolivia and Japan were exceptions

The game against Senegal was a good game. Although there was a small accident in the second half, the ball deflected and almost resulted in a loss of the ball, but overall, the game went smoothly and smoothly. What needs to be pointed out in particular is that as the World Cup is approaching and I have suffered from injuries before, it is a great experience to be able to return to the national team and play for 90 minutes.
