"Another important match. I’m pleased with the performance, though not with today’s result. We always aim for victory, but it was important to see the players’ rotation and chemistry. We gave some players their debuts and the outcome was very satisfying. Now it’s a period of adjustments based on these two matches against Chile. We’ll assess where we can keep improving as a team and also evaluate, of course, what was not satisfactory. We had two FIFA windows in the semester, and I leave very satisfied with the possibilities, with the individuals, and with the growth of our idea as a team," the Brazilian coach concluded.
