The footballer received a call to the country's Olympic team.

Shakhtar Donetsk defender Dodo commented on the call to the Brazilian Olympic team.

" Only the best are called up to the national team: you need to play at a high level in the club, and only then there is a chance to be in the national team. It is a great joy and honor for any Brazilian footballer. "

" Shakhtar is always in sight, we regularly play in the Champions League and have good European Cup campaigns. It is not surprising that many coaches, including those from Brazil, follow our club. And if we continue to keep the same high level at the club, the call to the national team will be the result of our fruitful work here.. In Brazil, everyone already knows about Shakhtar, and for them there is nothing surprising or unusual about it. In addition, my compatriots can see our matches in the Champions League..

It is absolutely normal that a European club like Shakhtar, where many Brazilians play, delegates so many players to the national team "

" A very important challenge for everyone. We must show our high level of football in order to stay in the national team and go to the Olympics. In Brazil, it is prestigious to become not only world champion, but also an Olympic champion. This is important both for me and for all the guys. It is a great honor to represent Brazil in such a tournament, "
