Dorival Junior was satisfied with the first commitments at the head of Brazilian Team. After the draw against Spainthe coach asked for patience and highlighted that everyone imagined a very big stumble on the FIFA date.
“In general, if we made an assessment before the start of these two matches, inevitably everyone would point out that suddenly two draws would be great results due to the moment, the situation, the lack of injured athletes, the meeting of a generation that had not yet dressed the national team’s shirt. Nobody imagined that this team could respond the way it did,” he said.
“The fans can believe that they have a team that will not give up at any time. That’s all we want. But it’s early, a work of patience, which will depend on a reorganization for the friendlies that precede the Copa America. I hope we are ready and have a well-defined squad in search of the best results”, he continued.
“Above what we expected and believed. All segments imagined a very big stumble. We have to be a little more optimistic in relation to our selection, due to the capacity of our players and the work that is being developed”, he added.
Asked about using the same lineup that started the victory against EnglandDorival said he had an obligation to repeat the team due to the short time he had worked.
“The Spanish had eight or nine days to work for our match. We actually had three initial days, especially because not all the athletes arrived on the same day. All the material that was sent in advance they observed, they saw the behavior. This anticipated the process. While we had a rested and energetic team, at Wembley the game was impressive on our part,” he said.
“We came here knowing that we would take a risk and have difficulty, but I need to find a balance for this team. It’s only the repetition of training and games that will give us that. I had an obligation to repeat, even if I needed to observe other players “, he concluded.
