Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain hopes to follow in father's footsteps by playing for England at Maracana "I've not seen it once," Oxlade-Chamberlain said. My dad is very modest and he hasn't spoken to me about it or bigged himself up at all about that game. I asked him once how he did and he just said he had a pretty good game. I've only seen the John Barnes goal that everyone has seen, so I will have to dig the footage out and see how he got on. Everyone is looking forward to the game, especially me. Being young and able to go and play at a place like the Maracana is unbelievable. Hopefully I get a chance to play, with what my dad has done out there it adds a bit more history and a bit more of a proud feeling to be out there. I am looking forward to it. My dad won't be at the game, though, it's too far for him. He's happy to watch it on television. Oxlade-Chamberlain admits he is determined to soak up the experience of playing in one of the world's most iconic venues, despite his father's reticence to expand on his own experiences. "My dad is really laid back and he lets me take everything in my stride," Oxlade-Chamberlain said. If I asked what it's like he would tell me, but he has not made a big fuss. He said it was an unbelievable experience for him and I don't need him to tell me what a stage it is. Brazil are Brazil. They have been the top football nation ever since I have watched football and long before that. They have great players and the whole history is massive, but it is going to be a really tough game for both teams. We will be hoping to put a really good performance together, to take the positives from the Ireland game and try and put some of the things we didn't do well right. Despite some of the negative feedback following the Ireland performance, which prompted former England captain Gary Lineker to say the tactics employed were a return to the "Dark Ages," Oxlade-Chamberlain believes the victory against Brazil at Wembley in February should spur the team on in South America. "Brazil are a fantastic nation and obviously we won here at Wembley, which was brilliant for us," Oxlade-Chamberlain said. We will go there looking to do the same. To be able to go and play at the Maracana is amazing, but more importantly, the disappointment we had in not winning the Ireland game is something we want to put right. Obviously the positive things that came out of the game, especially the second-half performance, we want to make sure we continue that into the next game and what better stage than the Maracana in Brazil?
