The Brazilian stopper Thiago Silva said that the coach of the Serbian national team, Dragan Stojkovic Pixy, showed great disrespect for the Brazilian team with his statements before the match.
Dragan Stojkovic, the day before the match with Brazil, answered questions from journalists and said:
Will he play with 4 strikers? Then we’re done.” Pixy was ironic and then added: ‘And do you wonder what’s up with their defense?’ alluding to the fact that it’s not the best.
However, Brazil routinely defeated Serbia 2:0, and Thiago Silva commented on the statement of the Serbian coach after the match.
“Listen, our defense is very good. Their coach said that we will play with 4 strikers but that we will not leave anyone in defense. It’s not good, it’s a lack of respect for us,’ said the captain of Brazil.
“We don’t ask that anyone be afraid of us, but you have to respect us. If he had analyzed our team better, he would have noticed that we conceded very few goals, regardless of how many attackers we start the game with,’ added Thiago Silva.
Brazil will play against Switzerland in the second round of the World Cup.
“Anyway, we have to stay calm and go step by step, it’s a long way to our goal,” Silva finished.
