Brazil coach, Tite has praised his players for playing better in the second half of today’s international friendly against Nigeria despite the match ending in a 1-1 draw.
“The result was insufficient. In terms of results, the Brazilian team always wants to win and seeks to win. But especially in the second half, we had a great performance. We had ball possession and creativity. It’s no use having possession of the ball without creating, but we did. It was not effective to score, ”Tite told a news conference after the game.
While commending the Nigeria side for putting up a good fight, Tite was full of praises Atletico Madrid player Renan Lodi who was making his debut for the Selecao.
“I know I have the pressure of the result, but you can only make unfriendly preparatory games if you let the field speak.” For example, Lodi played a lot. Played a lot. So we had the possibility of having a more aggressive player on the sides and having one more in the team players’ hall.
