In a press conference after the game, coach Dorival Júnior explained the option for the star to leave Real Madrid. According to him, he saw Vinícius very marked throughout the match, despite having tried to place him in different positions, and saw the need to try something different, with other names on the bench.
“We put (Vini Jr) aside, we were unsuccessful. We placed it inside, we couldn’t find a path either, it was very well marked. We had to look for a solution, trying to make a change. Our team was very well positioned, winning most of the plays and winning those second balls. We were presenting a very good volume of play. We had to make changes to parts“, explained the coach.
In any case, Brazil only drew with Costa Rica, in the debut of the continental competition. Now, he will have to recover the lost points next Friday, the 28th, when he will have the Paraguay ahead, in the second round. After that, participation in the group stage ends against the Colombia.
