Gilberto: Club World Cup gives Brazilian teams the opportunity to show their talents, including technical and management levels

Brazilian star Gilberto Silva was interviewed by FIFA's official website, during which he talked about topics such as the Club World Cup and Brazilian football. Gilberto Silva played for Arsenal during the Wenger era. He also won the 2002 World Cup championship for Brazil. He is currently working in FIFA's technical research team.

Brazil's performance in the Club World Cup

"I feel great. Although two teams have been eliminated, they have performed well in the group stage. Brazilian football has changed a lot, and overall, there are not so many beliefs in it now. We have many questions about whether we are on the right path. In this case, this cup is the best for Brazilian football, which just shows our level and talent, not only on the field, but also on the technical and management level."

Club World Cup inspired teams that failed to compete

"Yes, no doubt. This is also the comparison between clubs, which allows them to see the true level of our Brazilian football in the world. We can easily compare Brazilian clubs, but in fact, we have never competed with European clubs like this Cup. European football is indeed the highest level in the world and has the most resources, and now we can finally see the real test of Brazilian teams."

"In addition, we can take this opportunity to meet other continents Clubs, such as Mamerodi Sunset and Casablanca. You can only know them through the Club World Cup. I think that no matter what the result is, this is a good experience for Brazilian football. We can go back and summarize and think carefully and find places that can be improved. Brazilian football has the opportunity to communicate with the world, and we can use this to verify the effectiveness of Brazilian clubs, including technical and management levels. "

Characteristics of Brazilian clubs

" They all have their own personality and style of competition, and you have to try to develop and improve the battle ”

Expectations for the next round

"I hope the Brazilian team can continue to advance, which is very important to us. Some Brazilians pay attention to and support their love team from home, they are full of expectations, so it is very important to have a Brazilian team keep competing in the Club World Cup. We have 4 Brazilian teams participating, but there are 12 in Europe, which is a very big difference, so the promotion of the Brazilian team left a deeper impression on us."
