Sean St. Ledger returned to training on Thursday after the defender played 90 minutes at the Emirates Stadium against five time World Cup winners Brazil.
The Republic of Ireland international and North End centre back told PNE.Com of 'once in a lifetime opportunity' playing against the samba starts.
"It is always nice to start and to play against Brazil is a once in a lifetime opportunity," said PNE's No.12. "At least now I can say that I have played against them and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
"I think that in the first half it was a testament to us and how well we played. The second half it was difficult with them closing us down really well, they showed what Brazil are all about and why they have the great name."
St. Ledger found himself playing against worldwide household names in the Brazil side and has spoken about the style of football which was being played by some of the worlds best.
"It is unbelievable, you don't find yourself chasing the ball into corners, everything seems to be in front of you and the players play a lot of one-two's. It's amazing when they can bring the likes of Dani Alves on as a substitute as well.
"I was marking Adriano and that was an experience, but then after that it may have been worse because you then mark players who have just come on and who have a point to prove.
"Grafite came on and did a great trick on me to be fair, but it was just a great experience. Playing against Adriano who is well established and he should be in the World Cup squad so it may have been easier marking him then someone who has come on and is less recognised who is out there to prove a point to Dunga."
Despite playing against some of the world's best players, St. Ledger is now fully focused on Saturday's game and is fully aware of the task that faces North End at Home Park on Saturday.
"I know what the Championship is all about; I have been playing in it for quite a long time now it is just a world away. To play Brazil and then Plymouth away is a million miles away but it is just as important.
"They beat Cardiff and this is an important game for us, if we can get a result there then it sets us up nicely for three home games on the trot. If we win them then you just never know where you are, so as glitzy as the Plymouth game doesn't look on paper, it is just as important. "
