Juventus defender Danilo happy to play anywhere for Brazil

Juventus defender Danilo says he'll play where needed for Brazil.

Danilo's versatility has been invaluable for Brazil coach Tite at the World Cup.

“I changed role at Manchester City and it happened again at Juventus in recent years, but I think the secret of our success in Brazil is that the players are always ready to sacrifice themselves for the team and that means transforming tactics," said Danilo in a press conference.

“I have to wait and see if Alex Sandro is available before knowing what role I will play against Croatia. It makes little difference to me playing on the right, the left or in central defence. I proved that many times. It all comes naturally to me now.

“I think that I will spend more time in central defence in future, because that is where I enjoyed myself more. In any case, the coach will certainly make the right decision."
