“We knew that the game today would be very difficult, with a lot of physical exhaustion. It’s a team [do Marrocos] who works the ball very well, so we knew we would have to have a lot of concentration in defense. I think we’ve avoided playing our game with the ball a little, but the delivery we’ve had so far shows what we really came here for. [o título]”, declared after the match winger Marcel, Brazil’s top scorer in the World Cup with ten goals scored.
