9月23日，直播平台24报道，诺丁汉森林队后防球员贾伊尔·库尼亚被纳入巴西国家队阵容。在接受媒体采访时，他分享了被选中的心情。
My initial year at Santos was marked by a shared living arrangement with Bontenbo, the newly appointed Brazilian national team member. My parents were unable to relocate, which inadvertently provided me with a significant advantage. Bontenbo holds a place of profound importance in my life; without his support, I might not be standing here today. He was my only shelter at the time. Upon being added to the selection list, we made a phone call, an experience that was incredibly unique. Both of us were overjoyed by this momentous occasion.
我预感到了这种可能性，毕竟我的名字出现在了初选名单之中，然而，心中仍旧不断涌现出各种场景，仿佛电影般回放，因为这曾是我遥不可及的梦想。当国家队的主教练在众多璀璨球星的名字中呼唤出你的名字时，那份喜悦无以言表。因此，我一时之间陷入了迷茫，过了好一阵子才逐渐回过神来。
自幼年起，我的生活便如同疾风骤雨，事事进展迅速。自青训营起步，我便不断跨越等级。在桑托斯崭露头角后不久，我便踏上了转会之路，从博塔弗戈到欧洲，情形如出一辙。我深信，将一切交托于天意。既定之事，终将降临。回顾三年前，我尚在巴乙联赛中拼搏，一切变化之速，令人难以置信。
