Tite: Brazil's strength is felt even without Neymar
The Brazilians advanced to the playoffs ahead of schedule after a difficult victory over Switzerland.
The head coach of the Brazilian national team Tite called the match of the 2nd round of the group stage of the World Cup against Switzerland (1:0) very difficult.
"Switzerland was the team with the best defense in the European selection," he recalled, adding that the opponent's players are versatile.
Tite noted that despite the absence of the injured striker Neymar, the Brazilian national team stuck to their game system.
"I'd be lying if I say we don't miss Neymar. But the strength of the team is felt, we have players who can handle anything," Globo Esporte quoted the coach as saying.
