What They're Saying
Dunga head coach Brazil (via ESPN FC): "We expect Neymar to perform as well as he has been performing with the national team and with Barcelona. After we made him the captain, we expected him to behave a certain way and he did. His performance has improved. He has matured and has become more capable of overcoming challenges. He has met our expectations. I hope he continues to be seen as our reference."
Peru head coach Paolo Guerrero (via Marca): "Nothing about our game plan is specific to Neymar. We're playing against the Brazilian national team, not Neymar. We are focused on all the national team players and not only Neymar. All of their players are important. We know that Brazil are favorites to win the Copa America, but we have to show that we are a team hungry for the win."
