Felipe Anderson is looking to impress Brazil’s manager this weekend as he seeks to secure his place in the team’s Copa America squad this summer. The Hammer joined up with the national team for Saturday’s friendly at home to Panama and the trip to play Czech Republic on Tuesday.
“I can’t wait,” Anderson told WHUFC.com. “It has been a long time since I was called up to the Brazilian national team and that’s very important to me. I want to thank West Ham because this club has allowed me to showcase my abilities. As a consequence of playing well I got a call up after a long time, so I’m very excited to go there and show my worth there too. We have this competition [the Copa America], but there’s a lot of things that can happen before then. I have to keep on playing well here with West Ham and then go there and show what I can do.
“For sure, going to the competition is one of my goals but I have to keep on doing my job here and good things will ensue as a consequence.”
