“We weren’t effective and the game became more dangerous as it progressed. Who lost? All of us [in the Brazil camp]. I am responsible for everything that happens. “Every match is difficult. We can’t take any opponent lightly,” – he said.

“The World Cup doesn’t give you second chances. We will feel disappointed for 24 hours after this result and then we’ll start preparing for the next match.” – Tite added

Brazil still finished top of the group despite the defeat and will play South Korea in the Round of 16 while second placed Switzerland will play Portugal.
