Debuting in World Cups, midfielder Bruno Guimarães complained about the condition of the lawn after Brazil’s 1-0 victory over Switzerland, this Monday (28).
“The field hindered us a lot too. It was bad, it wasn’t as we expected.”
“Balls that, normally, we play with one touch, we had to dominate. I lost a little more time”, he added.
According to the midfielder of Newcastle, from England, the pitch was “a bit hard, very thin”.
Guimarães entered the second half in place of Fred, who gained space in the team with Neymar’s injury.
The victory came with a goal by Casemiro. He hit cross kick, from inside the area, as if he were a number 9, in the 37th minute of the second half. It was the move that classified Brazil in advance for the round of 16 of the World Cup.
