“On the night of June 6, the Brazilians played a draw with Ecuador in the match of the 2026 World Cup qualification”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
Upon completion of the meeting, Carlo commented on the drawing result of his wards in his debut duel in the post of Celesao mentor:
“I think the conditions were difficult for a well -coherent game. Good chances were in Vini and Casemiro in the second half. The attack could play better, but we should also take into account the power of our rivals. Ecuador played well as we do.
Replacers were made to give more energy. Rysharlison and Zherson worked very carefully, with great dedication in defense, replacements were made to give more energy to the team, that’s all.
Match with Paraguay? It will be another match, I think we can better control the game. We need to play a game with greater mobility and intensity. We will do it on our home field.
As I said, we were not enough in the attack. Ecuador was well defended, it was not easy to find the space between the lines, it was difficult to leave the defense. I do not want to justify myself, but it was not easy to play on the field in such conditions.
Communication with players? What we discussed before the match, they tried to do. The team played well. In my opinion, we did not give clear opportunities to score a strong team. As I said, we could work better with the ball, but we have something to improve by the next match with Paraguay.
My first match as a coach of the national team, I felt something special. I was near the eyebrow in more than 1800 matches, and this was special. I was satisfied with the reception. I am glad to work with Brazil, and for me it is a gift to be here.
Our goal is to be selected for the World Cup, fight there for the trophy and try to return Brazil to where it was always, in the upper positions in world football. This is our goal, and we will fight for its achievements.
We have very high quality players. There is not much time to work, but there is a place to grow, because we have quality. I am sure that we will improve the attack, with Ecuador we lacked an important player – Rafinha. ”
