Argentine midfielder Andres D'Alessandro, who plays for Internacional of Porto Alegre, admitted that he "dreams of playing in the next World Cup," but he understands that in order to reach his objective, he has to be in his best form with his Brazilian club at all moments.

"If one plays well in the local tournament, and in the other competitions, the opportunities will be there. I dream about this, to play in the World Cup with the national team," stated D'Alessandro, to Gazeta Esportiva on Friday.

The former River Plate, San Lorenzo, Wolfsburg, Portsmouth, and Real Zaragoza player was called up by former national team coach Alfio Basile, as soon as he joined Inter last year, but he wasn't given an opportunity to play.

D'Alessandro knows that he has to concentrate on playing well in Brazil, and doing so will possibly present him with greater possibilities with Argentina: "I want to be a protagonist at Inter. But the important thing will be to think about the group, more than personal goals."

The exciting playmaker played a key role as Internacional lifted the Copa Sudamericana for the first time last year.
