The forward Rodrygoauthor of the only goal with which Brazil won this Friday by 1-0 Ecuador in the World Cup qualifiers, he said that the Canarinha He cannot admit that the Ecuadorian team had dominated him for so long and even more so playing at home.
“Ecuador dominated the match for a long time and that could not have happened, even more so at home,” said the striker of real Madrid by admitting that Brazil left much to be desired, despite having found victory again after three consecutive defeats in the qualifiers.
Although the victory allowed Brazil to win again and move up to fourth place in the standings, with 10 points and still far from the 18 points of leader Argentina, the Canarinha left doubts on the field and was booed by its fans.
“We needed the win. That was our objective, regardless of whether we played well or badly. We knew it would be difficult, but from now on it can get better,” said the player revealed by Santos.
Rodrygo He assured that the team has to analyze the mistakes it made against Ecuador to improve for the next match, next Monday, when it will visit Paraguay in Asunción for the eighth round of the qualifiers.
The striker attributed Brazil’s disappointing performance to the fact that many of its players, who come from European clubs, are at the start of the season.
“It was a long trip and we had very little time to train. It’s not an excuse, of course. But, in any case, I’m happy with the victory and with another goal,” he said.
