Brazilian striker Rayan admitted he does not know Japan's key players during a press conference on Friday, 26. Brazil faces the Japanese team on Monday, 29, in the round of 32 at the World Cup.
Rayan was asked about Japan's most dangerous player and replied in a relaxed manner. “Rapaz… Não sei qual é jogador mais perigoso deles não, só olhando no vídeo mesmo. É trabalhar durante a semana para sair com a vitória”, said the 19-year-old striker.
The youngster highlighted the Asian team's collective strength and said the Brazilian group will prepare for the match. He praised coach Carlo Ancelotti's work, who instructs players to prioritize marking before attacking.
Rayan is seeking his first World Cup goal and keeps frequent contact with Fernando Diniz, his former coach at Vasco. Ancelotti fulfilled Diniz's promise by calling up the player as the youngest in the squad, 13 days younger than Endrick.
