Tite – ‘Brazil should have win’

Brazilian coach Tite believes if there was one team who would come with three points, it would have been team Brazil.

“I want to re-emphasise the great game technically. You have to stop with this story of fighting, of provocation. It’s a football game, a great spectacle that we saw today.”

“The field could have been better to help the spectacle. But my team showed they could maintain consistency. He could have kept Renato on and taken off Paulinho, but he wanted to maintain his support on the right because of Dani Alves’ card. I have these options, these weapons, these cannons, and I can’t stop using them.”

We play in Europe at this time, but it’s very different. It’s very hot here. In Europe it gets cold, and more calm. We created some chances, but it’s difficult to play here, a difficult pitch, the field is dry, the ball bounced a lot.

“But for the fight and for the effort, we are happy.”
