The team leads 2-0 over the Japanese, but suffers a comeback in the second half and closes FIFA Data on alert
The steering wheel Casemiro left the pitch at Ajinomoto Stadium, in Tokyo, very uncomfortable with what he called the “blackout” of the Brazilian team in the 3-2 defeat against Japan, in an early morning friendly match (Brasilia time) this Tuesday 14th. Brazil opened 2-0 in the initial phase, but allowed a 3-2 comeback in the second half.
“We suffered a blackout in the second half with the whole team. We are at the highest level. If you sleep for 45 minutes, it could cost you a World Cup, a Copa América, a medal, a 4-year dream. These are details that make the difference,” said the experienced Manchester United midfielder.
The defeat against the Japanese erased all the shine of the comfortable 5-0 victory over South Korea in the previous friendly. The result had raised good expectations in Carlo Ancelotti’s men, but losing against a superior opponent brings to mind the concern that has surrounded the team in recent years.
“At this high level you have to maintain maximum balance. We know there was a lot of enthusiasm. I wanted to finish the preparation, these 10, 12 days, in style. Maybe we had an excellent preparation and 45 minutes. Let it serve as a lesson, the World Cup is here”.
Now the Brazilians will have to wait for the FIFA Dates in November, between the 8th and the 18th. The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has already defined that the friendlies will be played in Europe, but the opponents have not yet been defined.
