– A lot of happiness. Unfortunately Ney ended up hurt and I had this great opportunity, the honor of wearing the 10 jersey. A child’s dream came true. Today I was able to enjoy and enjoy. Vitória, I managed to participate in the goal game. It will be marked, the next game comes.

Asked about the difficulties he had against an opponent who was locked in defense most of the time, the midfielder pointed out that the insistence on the plays in the middle hindered Brazil.

– A very closed team, we knew their proposal was the counterattack. We find difficulties in the middle, sometimes we abuse these attempts a bit inside, we explore the side less, which was easier. When we found the pass on the baseline, we reached the goal. The most important thing was to win and move on.

It was Everton Ribeiro’s ninth game with the national team, the third in these heats. Before, he had entered the field twice in the 2015 Copa América and in four friendlies, all with Dunga.

The only team with 100% success after three rounds, Brazil leads the competition with nine points. The next game, on Tuesday, is against Uruguay in Montevideo.
