The head coach of the Brazilian national team, Carlo Ancelotti, commented on his team’s defeat in a friendly match against the Japanese national team (2:3).
Carlo Ancelotti, Getty Images’I think that until Fabricio Bruno’s mistake today, the game was under our control. We fully understand what happened. The team lost its composure after the first goal. That was our biggest mistake. I believe today’s match was a good lesson for the future.
We need to learn something, especially regarding our play in the second half. I think we should be more attentive in our actions. We played very well against South Korea, excellently in the first half, very poorly in the second. It’s a process. We need to maintain balance until the World Cup. After the match against South Korea, we didn’t become world champions. We need to learn from our mistakes. The team’s biggest mistake was the inappropriate reaction after the first goal,' Ancelotti is quoted by ESPN Brazil.
