So much he like his selection did not surrender as it expected in Qatar and both situations remained exposed in the elimination in front of Croatia in the quarter-finals of the tournament.

It is not a secret for anybody that the Brazilian footballers that they were protagonists of that defeat in penaltis in front of the selection of Luka Modric are 'touched' psychologically.
