Watching Eric Da Silva Moreira in full flow is a thrilling sight. The Germany right-back brings a vibrancy, fearlessness and ambition to his role and, in conversation with FIFA, it quickly becomes apparent those qualities are ingrained in his character too.<\/p>\n
His rampaging runs down the flank have been a key element of Germany\u2019s dynamic play at the FIFA U-17 World Cup\u2122 and he has contributed two goals during the tournament. It is no surprise, then, to learn the St Pauli star is well accustomed to operating in the attacking third.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt my club, I\u2019m a winger, and all my life I\u2019ve been a striker or forward!\u201d he says. \u201cThis full-back position is still quite new for me, but I can bring my qualities to it. I can help my team in attacking, because I know how to score and assist. I also think my mentality and my pace is good for a defender.\u201d<\/p>\n
Da Silva Moreira is speaking the day after his side beat Argentina in an extraordinary Indonesia 2023 semi-final. The result means Germany are one victory away from becoming the first team to lift the UEFA U-17 European Championship and U-17 World Cup in the same year.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome people might have thought, \u2018You\u2019ve already won a big trophy, you\u2019re happy,\u201d he says. \u201cNo, that\u2019s not us. We came here to win the title.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
