Bolasie admits Brazil dream

Crystal Palace midfielder Yannick Bolasie has admitted his delight after receiving a call-up to the Congo DR squad for their World Cup qualifier with Libya.

The 23-year-old, who has been one of Palace's star players this season, has also targeted a spot in the World Cup finals in 2014.

"It's an honour to receive the call-up and gives me the chance to play for the country of my mother and father," Bolasie told Sky Sports News.

"I just hope I can now do my best, if given the chance, and try and help us qualify for the World Cup in Brazil.

"Seeing this country as it is really brings me back down to earth, you realise what some people don't have or even get the chance to live like we do back in England."

Bolasie also qualified for England and France.
