Ceni exalted the play and expressed confidence about a possible call from the selection to the Juba in the future.
“In addition to Jean’s exquisite release, he was calm to dominate, cut, hit … There was a little luck, I think the ball deflects on Guga, and ends up killing Fabio. But Juba, fatally, listens to what I’m saying to you, I have a feeling that we will have a second player summoned for Brazilian National Team.”
