“It’s always about the right time to bring the players into the game and the second time Marta touches the ball it’s 1×1. I was impressed with the fact that she wasn’t playing and still won the 1×1 on the left side, that’s a very high level considering she’s not playing. And our dear Debinha, she appears and brings the players to the game. I was very happy for Marta and also for the Brazilian team. Marta is back and will help a lot!”, said the coach, quoted by the CBF website.
“I think that in some moments it was good and in others our lines were distant. A word that we always use in defense is to be compact and in some moments we didn’t have that. We let Japan have the ball for a long time and they have good combinations. But if we have good pressure, in some moments we had good counterattacks. We need to have more of the ball. You have to find a balance, we have technical players, so we have to be more patient to keep the ball longer, one of the things we can do better is to use the sides more.”completed.
