Paqueta: It s a pity that I couldn t score. Ancelotti believed in me very much.

November 19th: After the friendly match drew 1-1 with Tunisia, Brazilian midfielder Paqueta said in an interview that he regretted missing the penalty kick.

About missing the penalty kick

- I regret not being able to score a goal and not being able to help the national team. If the penalty kick had been scored, we might have won the game. I was used to scoring goals at the club and had many successful shots, but I was not as patient as usual this time and the anxiety of scoring ultimately affected my performance. I will work hard to improve my abilities in this area and strive to seize the next opportunity to help the team.

About playing 60 games for the national team

- I have been playing for the national team for seven years. I have been training hard, devoting myself to it, and constantly fighting. Many coaches have come and gone, but I have always stayed there and been part of the team, always ready to help and contribute. I'm happy to be working with Ancelotti, who has a lot of trust in me. We communicate frequently. As a team, we are becoming more stable and growing. We will progress step by step, but in the end we will be fully prepared to meet the challenges of this World Cup.
