What They're Saying
Brazil midfielder Willian (via Daily Mail): "Dunga arrived with his own way of working, with a very different approach to training. Today, the Selecao can play with the ball and without the ball, which is very important. I'm feeling very confident. I owe that to the coach who put all his confidence in me. I'm now feeling relaxed in the squad and I'm in top shape. The Selecao has to enter every competition thinking about nothing other than victory. That is our goal this month."
Mexico head coach Miguel Herrera (via Sportal): "The result [against Peru] is a consequence of doing well, although not as crucial at this point. The important thing is to observe which players will start and drawing conclusions for the next game, to try to assemble the base of the team that might start in the Copa America. It is an important meeting. I want to thank the Federation of Peru for inviting us, for helping each other get ready for the next tournament."
