Tite says he will keep the base of the squad, but hides squad to “not arm” Peru | Brazilian team

According to Tite, the decision to hide the team that goes to the field aims to not give weapons to Ricardo Gareca, the opposing coach.

– We have several top-level athletes, I have a team set up but I don’t want to talk. Athletes have known it since yesterday. The base remains, the ideas remain. But I don’t want to carry Gareca. You change a characteristic of the athlete and it already brings adversity – said the technician, at a press conference.

The probable selection of the national team to face Peru is: Weverton, Danilo, Thiago Silva, Marquinhos and Renan Lodi; Casemiro and Douglas Luiz; Everton (Richarlison), Philippe Coutinho and Neymar; Roberto Firmino.

Tite was also asked about the differences between Peru and Bolivia and projected a more difficult duel for this Tuesday:

– There are two factors that we have to analyze. Brazil’s individual performance was above expectations. It should be put into perspective that Bolivia did not have the same technical and physical quality as ours … It is true. However, their degree of expectation was to play a good game, lose a little and it would be a victory for them. And we with the responsibility of playing well and giving results. This is considered. After that point, the challenge is different, with a team of superior technical level, superior physique and a challenge for us: to seek to repeat a pattern. Perhaps not with the same technical force. We will face a stronger opponent in stronger circumstances – Tite recalled.

Read more from Tite’s interview:

– The experience (in the national team) showed me an adaptation of the coach of the club and the national team. The benefits of choosing top-level athletes, the best in your country, and being able to choose them. Have the highest level technical committee and full time during the week for communication, monitoring and progress. Managing time because you are not constantly with the athletes takes a little out of field work and stays more in the field of studies. And when looking for the day-to-day, you have to be very punctual, accurate in the training and functions of athletes. On the other hand, it takes away the day to day, the smell of the dressing room. You spoke of four years and 50 games, which in Brazil in clubs is perhaps seven months.

– The meaning that we win Peru is the same as he beat us in the friendly as well. Important opponent, degree of technical and physical difficulty higher than that which we face. We have to have this ability to contextualize. I don’t think much about the 50 games, I think about a football idea and that the team plays a lot. That he has the awareness that he has to create and score goals, be tough and make the opponent as difficult as possible, if possible not score and that translates into victories. The poignant way the team presents itself over that time is being shaped. In three, four moments were the qualifiers, world, friendlies, America’s Cup. And now a resumption. It is a very long time, six months makes you evolve as an athlete.

– Playing at a high level, the human side, the moral values ​​that have the credentials for that. What will tell you where it is going, the time, is the performance. It’s the quality, the level of competition you face. That will determine it. It is impossible to project the Selection in two years, nor do they project six months here. I want, I hope you maintain that level, regardless of the names. I give an example of Daniel Alves who was chosen the best in the Copa América after recovering from an injury. There is no prejudice for a young man, like Rodrygo, Gabriel Menino, nor for a more experienced one.

Action against Bolivia

– (The selection) was what we imagined, on a larger stage. The circumstance of the game will not happen in the same way (against Bolivia), in the first half we are left with almost 80% of the ball in the opposite field. There are games that will provide more play within the opponent, in others you will make more counter movements if he marks you head on. In a short time you have less property, but you have more verticality. The games change because the opponents come with different schemes. Each game also favors us, it is important to know how to play, whether in a higher, middle or backward position. The ball is the benchmark for team compaction.

– (Cleber Xavier speaks) I suspect Guerrero when he came to see us at Corinthians, I did the first training session and I was very impressed with his quality. A relationship that we have had for a long time, his absence weighs a lot, in a quick pivot counterattack, he’s a finisher, his figure as a leader is very important. We hope you recover.

– We see how the athlete knows in daily life. I had less time playing with the national team, but the training and monitoring of the teams are giving us information. The conversation with Paulo (CBF base coach), Jardine (CBF U-20), players who were and were with him in important situations. I remember we went to see Douglas training in Girona. This has been going on for a long time, so he had the peace of mind to develop. The challenge is to maintain the same pattern. Its characteristic is what Neymar supplies, Lodi, gives support to give a point of balance.

– He’s normal, he trained well today, yesterday, without any (physical) problem. As for the technical part, this greater freedom, floating to be an articulated player, being sharp, on the flank, on the side, that also favors. When I say that it favors the creative player, Juninho looks at me and smiles, he likes creative players because it was like that. This adaptation, even from PSG itself, who had been working like this. We have to have the sensitivity to be able to work this space for what it has been doing in its club.

Neymar one goal from Ronaldo

-I’m sure that if someone else appears in better conditions, he will give the ball. Individual goals, when adding the team, are good. It is not a sin to score, it is not a sin to reach a mark. I speak in general terms. It is not a sin to pass the Ronaldo brand. In the spirit of team solidarity, this is great. It is more significant.
