Fulham midfielder Andreas Pereira confident Brazil stronger than England

Fulham midfielder Andreas Pereira has teased England by stating that they are far behind his native Brazil.

Pereira, who is in the Selecao squad to take on the Three Lions at Wembley, is excited about taking on England.

He hopes to get game time under new coach Dorival Junior, as they prepare for the Copa America and England for Euro 2024.

Pereira stated, “About Brazil and England, we don't necessarily feel that there is a big, big gap.

“The last time Brazil won a tournament was fewer years ago than when England won a tournament. We could say there is a gap. But Brazil will always have big, big players and a big team. England as well. I think they have a lot of players that I think the Brazilian fans like. It is more the flair players - players like Rashford and Saka.

“We respect them and we know it is going to be a tough game but we are ready and we know what we are capable of. We want to win the game. We are Brazil. We always want to win everything."
