Nene dreams of playing World Cup 2014 for Les Bleus – Ligue 1 news
Paris Saint-Germain winger Nene is hoping to acquire French nationality to play in the 2014 World Cup for France national team.
The Brazilian is frustrated on not getting a chance to play for his national side and would consider playing for Les Bleus in the 2014 World Cup, should he fail to appear in the plans of Brazil coach Mano Menezes.
Last season, the spectacular performances of the 30-year-old highlighted his presence in Ligue 1. Nene scored 14 goals in the 2010/11 Ligue 1 Championelle and was the top scorer at the capital club. He was looking forward to debut for Verde-Amarela in the
friendly match against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mano-c23341 Menezes to be selected.
Still optimistic about making a debut in international colours for his country, the Sao http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paulo-c29431 native was quoted on a local radio station, RMC, saying, “I believe I’m 30 and I still have great years ahead of me. There is still hope and time.”
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brazil-c2858 are not interested, he would play for France should an opportunity be presented.
“After a while, I’ll see if I cannot get there [World cup] for Brazil.... So in order to play a World Cup I will think of the French team,” said Nene.
The former Celta player said that he doesn’t think there will be a problem as playing in the world cup is very important for him. Nene said that he already has dual nationality (Brazil and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011) and will hope to get a third nationality soon.
Nene faces severe competition as a winger in the French side. The current holders of the position are Franck Ribery, Florent Malouda, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dimitri-Payet-c11276.
It will be up to the national side coach, Laurent Blanc, to consider the application of the Brazilian, who will turn 33 in the 2014 World Cup.
Nene has scored 2 goals and supplied 2 assists in eight appearances for Les Parisiens this season. The playmaker will have to further improve his performance this season in order to oust the likes of Franck Ribery and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Florent-Malouda-c13838 from their Les Blues
berths.
