FRANCE 98 – Match n°35: BRAZIL-NORWAY (Group A) – Mixed Zone – Statement by Players of the BRAZIL Team

“We should have kept the ball longer. This evening we lacked sharpness, we didn’t use the flanks enough. I was marked very closely, but I’m used to that.”

“We should do better. We’ll find a solution to improve our game. It’s very difficult to play against such a defensive team. It’s not always easy to make the game attractive for the fans. In defence, we played fairly well, but we lacked concentration at the end of the match.”

“The defeat won’t cause any major problems of confidence in the team. We really lacked concentration in the last seven minutes. It’s very hard to play against a defensive wall such as that of the Norwegians.”
