The newspaper As, from Spain, highlighted Brazil’s victory – the penultimate friendly before the World Cup dispute
The Brazilian team’s victory over Panama on Sunday (31) went viral abroad. Spanish newspaper As highlighted Brazil’s victory – the penultimate friendly before the World Cup – and stated that “Brazil intimidates!” The media outlet, however, highlighted that Carlo Ancelotti’s team only took off in the second half, when the coach made several changes to the team.
“Carlo Ancelotti made substitutions and with them came a shower of goals. Brazil returned to the second half with determination, with renewed energy. And the pressure that was seen at the beginning of the match was the key to a game that changed completely. In 10 minutes, the Canarian team destroyed their rival“, analyzed As.
“The game turned into a confrontation without any type of competitiveness. Panama didn’t know how to land the blows, what was seen in the first half fell apart. With much more control, the Brazilian team dictated the pace of the game, although the players wanted more goals, as did the public”, he continued.
O Brazil will still face Egypt, on June 6th, in the last preparatory game before the World Cup. The friendly match will take place in Cleveland, in the United States.
“Dancing, celebrating and winning. Brazil said goodbye to the fans in the best way. Raising hopes for a World Cup in which they will not start as the favorite team. But demonstrating that it can never be removed from the debate”, concluded the Spanish newspaper.
