Anthony: Considering my experience, this time I was selected for the national team is even more exciting than the first time I was selected.

Manchester United striker Anthony accepted an interview with the media and talked about his thoughts about being selected for the Brazilian national team in this issue.

Anthony said: "This is one of the most exciting moments, and I talked about this with a few friends. This is even more exciting than my first selection. Considering what I have experienced, it is really touching."

"Still the bottom, stay resilient and get back to shape, thank God and my family, they are very important."

"Even though I had no hope during that difficult time, I still remember my previous experiences, and I said to myself 'I haven't forgotten how to play football, I can't play the World Cup for no reason, nor can I be selected for the national team without reason. 'Everything has a reason, this experience is very important to my life because it makes me stronger."
