Though he gave his greatest, Tite needed to take him off for Fred.

Now that Neymar is out for the subsequent two video games, Tite is able to repay Paqueta’s persistence and play him in his pure place. Paqueta has flourished in that creator’s function, and has usually plied his commerce in that place for the nationwide crew than the likes of Antony, Rodrygo and Martinelli.

I blame myself with Neymar as a result of I didn’t see that he was injured and he performed on for 10 or 11 minutes. The foul that damage Neymar was not malicious. It was an accident. However if you wish to have fun soccer you’ve got to punish the rotation of fouls.”

There’s nonetheless a component of worry that Neymar might miss the whole match, even when Brazil make it to the knockouts and go all the best way.
