What They're Saying
Brazil head coach Dunga (via Goal): "These good results are the fruits of work and determination you put into everyday life. We must continue. Since the World Cup, I have tried to give confidence to the players and to find the right balance. We played well and we tried to play with speed. We kept our shape well, we were compact. We also had good possession. We committed preventable errors, especially on set-pieces, but once we rectified that, we found the right balance and we got the win. For the Chile game we'll see which players are fatigued, but we cannot change everyone. We will keep our core."
Chile manager Jorge Sampaoli (via ESPN Deportes): "Lamentably, the biggest problem is that the game against Brazil is in three days. We knew we couldn't play [against Iran] the full 90 minutes with just one team."
