"I can say that I am at the physical, technical and mental peak of my career and this is reflected in my performances with both the Seleção and Juventus," he said.

“In the past in I was plagued by some physical problems. I missed two Copa America due to injury and also at the 2018 World Cup I had some problems. This time I definitely feel much more prepared than on other occasions to offer my contribution to the national team.

“I am happy and try to enjoy every moment. Every morning when I wake up I tell myself that it is a dream to be with the Seleção.

Danilo was also asked about being a leader.

“It's something that happens naturally. I accept the leadership role well and try to contribute so that there is a good understanding within the team, whilst helping the new players integrating with the national team."
