Even with many players coming in and out, there\u2019s a clear direction, and everyone knows our goals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also highlighted his versatility, which he believes has helped secure his place in the national squad, as he can play both as a forward and in an attacking midfield role. \u201cKnowing that the manager trusts me to play in different positions is significant,\u201d he stated. \u201cI feel responsible to deliver and prove I\u2019m ready, no matter where I\u2019m placed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reflecting on Qatar Snub<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cunha was not chosen for the Brazilian team that participated in the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
