He is a player to be marked, he is quality with the ball at his feet, he has a pass, he has a shot from outside. A great player. He is having a great Copa America. Wherever you go in the field Someone will always be watching you to ignore you.” commented Guimaraes.

The England-based Newcastle midfielder said: “Colombia is a pebble in our shoe and we will try to remove it.”
“To be honest, I'm not too worried about how they're going to approach the game. We have to win no matter what. They have players like James and Luis Diaz who can decide the game individually. I think It will be a big test For us. We don't want to pick a competitor, we want to finish first. We have seen some Colombia matches. They have players who are difficult to pin down. Avoid wrongdoing especially near the area. The key to the game is that both teams will want to have the ball,” commented Guimarães.
Finally, the Brazil midfielder assured: “There are always things to improve. All the draws and defeats were not very real, we took 20 shots against Costa Rica. Even in successes there are always things to improve on. Alisson did a miracle to keep us alive against Paraguay. Now We have a tough game against a great team with great players. We want to give our best version, keep our feet on the ground. We have a tough game against Colombia.”
