"Another important match. I’m satisfied with the performance, but not with today’s result. We always aim for the win, but it was important to see the rotation and chemistry among the players. We gave some players their debut and the outcome was very satisfying. Now it’s a phase of adjustments based on these two games against Chile. We will assess where we can continue to grow as a team and also evaluate, of course, what was not satisfactory. We had two FIFA dates in the semester and I leave very satisfied with the possibilities, with the individual talent, and with the growth of our idea as a team," concluded the Brazilian coach.
