Quotes by Carlos Parreira
The Confederations Cup was a very important competition for Brazil. We fielded our best outfit and clashed with many high-class teams. It provided us with the chance to test many players.
The important thing is that his injury heals perfectly and that he reports in shape.
I don't think that sex one day before the game will have any harm on the player. Just sex, no problem.
In all of my career this is maybe one of the most abnormal results I have witnessed. It was just one of football's accidents.
Afterwards, during the course of the competition, the results and performances will determine whether or not it's necessary to change.
They changed their setup a bit, that made things harder for us. But we were able to catch up in the second half, controlling the match again.
It's wonderful for Brazil to have so many talented forwards. We have many good players, and I don't think other teams have so many, so I think that it's a good problem. We have good replacements. It's wonderful.
It was a mental victory more than anything else. I am very proud of my team because it is very, very difficult to beat Germany especially when they are at home.
