Talking about the game
The atmosphere in Maracana was great, the fans were full of love for the team, we played a high-intensity, good rhythm and stable defense, putting a lot of pressure on our opponents. I think the fans, like us, are very satisfied with the team's performance. We performed very seriously in this game and did a good job of defense, especially in the first half, the team's formation was kept very compact. After taking the lead, we played even more. In the second half, Chile attacked more aggressively, but we still had a chance to expand the score.
Talk Louis Enrique
He has extraordinary talent, excellent physical fitness, and extremely strong one-on-one ability. His vitality changed the game and his physical condition was excellent. He was able to change the game when other players were already exhausted. For the national team, having such a player is very valuable.
How many players have been confirmed to be able to participate in the World Cup?
Let's say that I think we have a very strong fixed lineup and then, I definitely have to make a 26-man or 25-man roster, which is a very complicated thing, and other coaches may have less difficulties than I will face in the next few months, which is very good. I like the players who played today very much. I like those players who change the rhythm of the game after playing, and I am very satisfied with today's game.
Which is more important to determine the starting lineup or testing more players?
I think we have to determine a basic roster, and through three games we can see this foundation, a compact and well-defended team. We had a good defense in all three games. In addition, the players have excellent personal abilities and they can change the game. We have to keep moving along this route and I believe we have a lot of opportunities to win games if we can keep keeping the ball as we are now.
Talking about the current situation of the national team
The atmosphere around us is very positive and full of motivation. The players performed well and the atmosphere in the locker room was very good. I feel very comfortable now and am confident that the team can achieve good results. Is changing the formation part of the plan during the
?
Our idea is to get younger players on the court and help the team maintain a high-intensity game rhythm. Paqueta, Enrique and Joe all performed well and helped the team a lot, which is what I expected the substitutes to do.
Talking about the current solid defense
When a team has excellent defense, it means that all players are performing well. In modern football, the forwards must also participate in the defense, otherwise the team will face difficulties.
On the return of Paqueta, he deserves to be a member of us, and I told him yesterday that he can play a role in different positions. Today he plays as a midfielder and can also be competent for the position of double midfielders. I know he can also play as a single midfielder because he has a very strong control over the ball.
Talking about Estewan
I worked with him when he was in Palmeiras, and now he is very good at Chelsea. He performed very well in the Premier League, which is not an easy task. In today's game, he performed very well, completed his debut, and cooperated well with the team. He still has a lot of room for improvement and can make more contributions to the team.
Talking about the next game opponent Bolivia
This game is very important. Wearing the Brazilian national team's jersey means that every game is equally important. Fighting against Bolivia is an opportunity to improve self-performance, test attitude and intensity of the game. The team must be fully prepared and strive to achieve the best performance. In the next few days, we will evaluate the physical condition of the players and send a team that can win.
