Glasner backs Cunha after Brazil call

[Getty Images] Nottingham Forest head coach Oliver Glasner has praised Jair Cunha's "willingness to learn" after the defender received a first Brazil call up. Brazil take on Australia twice and face India over the international break from late September into early October. Cunha, 21, has won age-group caps for Brazil but has never had a senior call-up. Speaking to BBC Radio Nottingham's Colin Fray, Glasner said his advice will be for Cunha to "enjoy" the experience. "Show who you are," said Glasner. "Show your strength. If you are called by, not just Brazil but Carlo Ancelotti, definitely one of the most successful and experienced managers in the world, you definitely deserve it. "This would be my advice, play with confidence, train with confidence and enjoy the time." Glasner's primary focus however will be helping Forest to a first win of their league campaign when they visit Aston Villa on Saturday. The Reds have not won at Villa Park since 1994. "We are feeling we are dong well," said Glasner. "We know we can do better in a few parts of the game, especially the final third to create more chances and goals. We go there to get the win, with this confidence but every single Premier League game is this huge challenge. "It's clear if something hasn't happened since 1994, it's definitely time to change it. We will be highly motivated to not be talking about these statistics anymore." Listen to Glasner speak with Fray below or here on BBC Sounds
