In a preparatory soccer match in Foxborough, USA, French soccer players defeated Brazil 2-1 (1-0). Kylian Mbappé (32) and Hugo Ekitike (65) scored for the French, while Bremer (79) scored for the Brazilians.
In a duel one of the favorites of the upcoming World Cup, France showed more and deservedly defeated the Brazilians, who seemed quite disjointed ahead of the duel with Croatia in Orlando on April 1.
After the game, the coach of Brazil Carlo Ancelotti he took responsibility for this defeat.
When I entered the dressing room I told the players that it was me guilty of this defeat. We made mistakes in formation and approach, although in the first half we were good and had control of the game, until France scored leading scorerAncelotti said, reports HRT.hr.
But the Italian expert is not disappointed. Moreover, he believes that his team was equal compared to France.
My team must learn from this defeat and not everything should be thrown in the trash. Unlike some previous games against France, this time we competed equally for a positive result against, at the moment, perhaps the best national team in the world. We had four one-on-one situations that we could have handled better, but we lacked precisionAncelotti said and continued.
There are shortcomings in the final actions that we have to eliminate, but the focus must be on what is to come, and that is already the match against Croatia in which I expect improvements. We will follow all our players in the finals of the European and world leagues because there is always the possibility that someone jumps out and at the last moment won an invitation to the World Cupconcluded the coach of Brazil.
“I will not be hypocritical now”
On the other hand, Mbappe did not mince words and after the meeting he emphasized the seriousness of the approach.
This was not a friendly match for us. To play against Brazil it’s a great opportunity to see where we are tactically and technically. Matches like this are extremely importantsaid the twenty-seven-year-old Real striker.
He added that he did not want to overdo the conclusions.
I said before the game that we shouldn’t draw big conclusions, so I won’t be hypocritical now and treat this as a World Cup final, said Mbappe at the end.
Brazil now face the Flames on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday, while the French will play Colombia on Sunday night.
