Fortaleza: Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari said that the World Cup hosts had reason to be satisfied with their performance despite being held to a 0-0 Group ‘A’ draw by Mexico in Fortaleza on Tuesday.
“In my opinion it’s my own, not that of the critics the team played better than they did against Croatia,” he said.“There was at least an extra 10 per cent than what there was against Croatia. The team has evolved. We can still improve, but we can still qualify for the next round. We showed quality, so I am satisfied,” added Scolari. “Brazilians are mad enough to believe that the others are not playing for anything. Mexico played more or less the same game as us. They had just about the same amount of possession, and the same number of shots on goal,” he said.
“The result wasn’t what we wanted but the only thing missing for us was a goal,” added Scolari.
“With each game that goes by we are evolving in different respects, but people start to have doubts when you don’t get a victory to go along with that evolution,” captain Thiago Silva said.
