"The World Cup is not won in the first game": Ancelotti, after draw with Morocco

In a press conference, this Saturday (13), after the 1-1 draw at the New York and New Jersey Stadium against Morocco, in the Brazilian team's debut, Carlo Ancelotti commented on the team's performance.

With the draw in the debut, Brazil added its first and only point, so far, in group C of the World Cup. The Brazilian team will play again next Friday (19), against Haiti, at 9:30 pm (Brasília time).

The Amarelinha coach revealed at the press conference that he didn't like the team's first half. "We cannot think that the team is perfect in the first game. We take this result, which is not bad, and we will fight in the next game. The World Cup is not won in the first game", said the Italian commander.

At the press conference, Ancelotti was also asked about Endrick's absence, but he responded by saying that he would not speak individually about the players.

Another factor that may have influenced the team's performance was anxiety. For the Italian, the objective is to work on this aspect in the next games.
