Hoffenheim midfielder Carlos Eduardo still believes he can play his way into Brazil's World Cup squad.

The 22-year-old former Gremio starlet has won just one international cap to date and although conceding it will be difficult, is not ready to give up on his dream of being named in coach Carlos Dungs's 23-man squad for South Africa.

He explained: "Every player dreams of competing at a major tournament and I'm no different.

"In Brazil, it's extremely difficult to get into the national team, so at least I've done that now.

"Whether I'll be in the World Cup squad or not I don't know, but there's always a chance.

"It depends on whether I can perform consistently in the Bundesliga and in Brazil's final games before the decision."
