The World Cup is taking shape – and I am happy to say the Brazil team is too.
It looks like Carlo Ancelotti has found his best XI and we have improved and gained momentum and confidence with each game of the group stage.
We are getting better at the right time and we have to be, because Japan will be a big challenge in the last 32.
It feels like we are on track, and a big part of that is down to Matheus Cunha. He is the key to a lot of what we are doing so well.
It is quite funny to be saying this because usually the Brazil public expects a classic number nine to be leading our attack, and Cunha is different to what the fans are normally looking for.
He is more of a nine-and-a-half. Someone who can play like a nine, but also a 10 to link play and create for others.
So he is not like Ronaldo, Adriano or Romario, some of our great strikers of the past 30 years, but because he can also score goals – he has three so far at this tournament – he is not a playmaker, either.
Instead, he gives the team something that Brazil have maybe never had before, in terms of a centre-forward anyway.
