DINIZ COLLECTIVE!

“The game was tied, stitched, and lacked articulation. Not because of one player or another. It was missing because the team didn’t know how to build. In this sense, I am the main person responsible. Neymar left with four, five minutes left in the first half and at no point did we have any articulation“, assessed the coach of the Brazilian team in a press conference.

“We have a certain tendency to make a simple analysis of complex problems. If he was right, with Neymar we would have a lot of depth and chances created. That’s not what happened. In the second half, we were even slightly better than in the first. The team as a whole did not do well in the creation part“, said Fernando Diniz at a press conference.
