What They're Saying
Brazil head coach Rogerio Micale (via FIFA): "This [victory over Senegal] gives us confidence going into the final and at this point in the competition it is very important. I am very happy with my team as a whole. When no one scores against us, that shows that our defense is working well and it has been a whole team effort."
Serbia head coach Veljko Paunovic (via FIFA): "When we beat Mali in the group stage, it was quite a similar game, but we were better physically. We expected the problems they posed us today, but we just couldn't respond as well and found it tough against their fitness and energy. We need to improve in that respect. But my guys are doing really well here and they are making history for their team, themselves and their country."
