Coach Tite justifies himself during the press conference about leaving Neymar out of penalty kicks against Croatia
The now former coach of the Brazilian national team, Tite (61) was the main target of criticism from internet users after the shameful elimination against Croatia this Friday, 9th, for the quarterfinals of the World Cup in Qatar.
One of the main reasons was the lack of Neymar Jr. (30) on penalty kicks. However, the coach took advantage of the post-game press conference to talk about what really happened at the time of the whitewash mark.
“Neymar would take the fifth and decisive penalty, which puts more pressure on the higher quality player”, Titus explained. In addition, he confirmed that he is officially leaving his role in the national team, after six years in charge.
“A painful defeat, but at peace with myself. End of cycle. I’m not a two-word guy. Anyone who knows me knows. Now, yes, it was a whole process. Before it was a recovery process. Now it had a whole sequel. The performance you make your comments”commented.
Neymar taking the last penalty was one of the reasons for the most indignation of Internet users on social networks. According to some users, the best player and ace of hopscotch should be the first to hit. “And Brazil dies with Neymar without taking a penalty. I will never understand. This is stupidity, it has no other name.”criticized sports journalist Gian Oddi.
