Bruno Guimaraes is indeed enjoying his first call this week with the Brazilian selection.
"For me, the fact of putting on the jersey of the Seleçao for the first time, it's a dream come true," said the 22-year-old player on Monday during a videoconference from the training center located near Rio de Janeiro.

He is like a father to me, it is largely thanks to him that I play in this club.
“A transfer that is clearly credited to the Lyon sports director.
