The selector of Brazil, Tite, made his comment after his team against Serbia yesterday (2-0).
“Serbia was very good, very fast in the first half, but it is difficult to maintain such a rhythm. They are a great team, we managed to control them even though they were very strong, it took a lot of effort. We know that with this climate here in the Gulf, you need physical qualities (to last), otherwise you will not succeed. ” Tite said at the press conference.
Brazil celebrated thanks to goals scored by Richarlison in the 62nd and 73rd minutes.
“In the second half, we changed the position of Paquetai, the players played more naturally. In the first match of the tournament, everyone is nervous, it’s part of human nature, but we tried to calm the players down. At halftime, I told them to be easy, to lower their adrenaline,” said Tite.
Journalists were interested in the situation with the injury of Neymar, who left the game earlier due to a wrist injury.
“He felt pain but decided to stay on the field and help his teammates, his attitude amazes me. We believe that Neymar will play in this World Cup“, he concluded.
