“They have a lot of quality in terms of passing, and defensively they are strong. They are good on the counter.”
Gabriel Jesus and Alex Telles will miss the remainder of the World Cup, with Thiago Silva saying Brazil will now play for their injured teammates.
“Yesterday’s training session was very hard, but at the same time our objective is to continue for them as well,” Thiago Silva said.
“It’s how we can comfort them a little. I hope they can recover as quickly as possible.
