The goal raised the situation, despite the coach Dorival Junior I don’t like that word.

“There is no relief. Nobody is satisfied here, we will be only satisfied with the result in the World Cup. In this situation of the classification, we must regret the previous results, of the matches that we do not win. But which qualifiers are always complicated. Only in the last two, with Tite, there has been a no longer a noisy classification, but it is always decided in the last rounds,” Darival said in a press conference.

He said he sees the team in evolution and that neither he nor much of the cast have a luggage in the national team, which explains a little irregularities.

“There are athletes here with one, two games. Not all 40 games. The coach himself has 15, 16 games. It is an evolution that must be done and I like to look forward to what can happen. South American football has evolved a lot, they are strong selections and this makes it difficult.

He explained that he decided not to put Endrick or Stephen on the pitch, despite the cheerleader, for a tactical problem. Dorival could make seven substitutions due to the brain emotion protocol. The goalkeeper Alisson and the defender Sánchez from Colombia came out after the shots on his head.

“At that time we needed players inside the area. And I made the decision to put higher athletes, we had three players inside the area, which was unheard of. But I understand the fans’ reaction,” said the coach.

The Brazilian team is in Brasilia until next Monday (24), when he goes to Buenos Aires to face Argentina Tuesday (25).
