Flamengo's Danilo, no arrogance: hits out after Brazil v Morocco

What did Flamengo’s Danilo say after Brazil vs Morocco?

Brazil made its World Cup debut with a 1-1 draw against Morocco on Saturday (13), in New Jersey, United States. After the match, Danilo, from Flamengo, gave his assessment of his teammates’ performance against the Moroccans.

We have to give a little more and understand that this one is already behind us, now it’s already a second game. In the end, the draw was fair, because in the second half we managed to pin them back and had chances to score more goals -, he said, before concluding: I think that in this type of game, we also have to be more clinical. When we get an opportunity, we have to take it. In matches of this size and at the World Cup, that’s how it works -, Danilo concluded.

Later in the interview, Danilo also looked ahead to Brazil’s next World Cup match, which will be against Haiti. With that in mind, the defender asked his teammates not to think about a blowout on Friday (19), but instead focus on winning the match first and only then think about goal difference.

– It is arrogance, yes (to think about a blowout). First, we have to go in and win the game any way we can. Then we’ll see what happens. But first and foremost, it’s about winning the game, with the right attitude, a sense of responsibility, and the proper willingness to sacrifice -, Danilo stressed.

HOW DID BRAZIL VS MOROCCO GO IN THE WORLD CUP?

Brazil’s debut did not go the way the fans were expecting. That’s because, just 21 minutes into the first half, Ismael Saibari took advantage of a brilliant pass and, seeing Alisson come off his line, chipped the ball over the ‘Canarinho’ number 1 to open the scoring.

After that, Morocco still had chances to extend the lead, but could not convert them. However, in their last opportunity of the first half, Brazil found the equalizer through Vini Jr.

Right at halftime, Ancelotti made some changes to the team, which quickly paid off. The Brazilian side managed to control the game better and ‘dominated’ the match. Even so, the game ended 1-1.

HOW DID DANILO PERFORM IN BRAZIL VS MOROCCO?

Throughout the week, there was doubt over who would start at Brazil’s right-back position. Thus, in the official lineup, Ancelotti chose to start with Ibañez, while Danilo was left as an option on the bench.

In the second half, the Flamengo defender gave the team a different dynamic. That’s because Danilo managed to ‘nullify’ most of Morocco’s plays that were coming down Brazil’s right defensive side.

WHAT IS BRAZIL’S NEXT WORLD CUP MATCH?

With Danilo available, Brazil will face Haiti next Friday (19) in the second round of Group C. In short, the match kicks off at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) in Philadelphia, United States. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will cover the details of the match on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media.
