Brazil's Magalhães shares Arsenal's set-piece secrets with national team

Brazilian national team defender Gabriel Magalhães revealed that he is sharing some of Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta's set-piece tactics with his national teammates. Magalhães believes that set pieces can be game-changers and wants to contribute to Brazil's success by imparting this knowledge.

“

I am trying to help in the best way possible because set pieces can change a game. Without a doubt, I am trying to pass on to my teammates a bit of what we do there.

Speaking at a press conference in Philadelphia, Magalhães acknowledged that Brazil's opening match against Morocco, which ended in a 1-1 draw, was not their best performance. He stated that the team is aware of the need to improve. "We know what we have to do on the field. We know we didn't have a good first game, but against Haiti, we promise effort and dedication. We will do everything possible to come out victorious," Magalhães pledged.

Magalhães expressed optimism about Brazil's upcoming match against Haiti, predicting that the Seleção "will show all its strength." Haiti lost their opening match 1-0 to Scotland. "We are Brazil and we want to have the ball all the time," he asserted, encouraging his teammates to approach the game with "positive thinking" and "concentration," recognizing it will be a difficult contest.

Reflecting on his club season with Arsenal, where they won the Premier League after 22 years, Magalhães stated he is physically well and mentally calm. He addressed his decisive penalty miss in the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain, saying, "I have nothing to complain about. I had a very good season with Arsenal... and regarding the Champions League final, only those who take a penalty know the consequences."
