The Confederations Cup was a very important competition for Brazil. We fielded our best outfit and clashed with many high-class teams. It provided us with the chance to test many players.

It's wonderful for Brazil to have so many talented forwards. We have many good players, and I don't think other teams have so many, so I think that it's a good problem. We have good replacements. It's wonderful.

We have less than one year before the World Cup. I want to have the best team in all the games, the qualifiers and every friendly before the competition.

You Germans moan too much and should stop. We do not believe you. Germany will be thereabouts next year.

This is his second injury in around one month, he has played 70 games already this season and we don't want to take any risks.

The only good thing that came out of the first half was the goal. The midfield never connected with the attack, thankfully we corrected that, allowing us to easily win in the second period.
