The South Korean technician, Paulo Bento, said that Fifa damaged its team in relation to Brazil because of the short time for rest. According to the coach, the maximum football entity has favored the strongest teams to the detriment of others.
Paul Benedict's great complaint is that his team will only have 72 hours of recovery. South Korea's last match was on Friday, and the final eighties game will take place on Monday.
Brazil also played on Friday against Cameroon. But as he had already qualified, he used reservations. The selection match, by the way, was after the Korean game.
"The players are identified with what we want. Let's try to get through. We do not have time to prepare [a special strategy] after 72 hours after the physical wear of previous games, emotional wear. That's why we gave the players the day off," said Paulo Bento.
"I believe this is a big problem for the teams. For us, a little larger than for Brazil, who moved the team [in the last phase]. It's completely different than what we could do in the last game. It's something I don't remember [in the Cup] if we look at 2018. I don't remember, after the group phase, having games within 72 hours. I don't remember. It's inhuman. It's not fair. It is something that Fifa intends to create less conditions for those who have less conditions. And giving more conditions to those who have more conditions," criticized the coach.
E se o Brasil estivesse na mesma situacao que a coreia do Sul precisando de resultado
Era so se classificar antes do último jogo, que poderia entrar com time reserva. Choro Ridículo
Quem vai para um torneio como a Copa do Mundo tem que ir preparado física e psicologicamente. O melhor exemplo de preparação foi em 70′ quando o Brasil esbanjava vigor físico na final e a Itália cansada e abatida. Ambos passaram pelo mesmo perrengue na semifinal.
Não tem que reclamar de nada porque se fosse ao contrário eles faziam a mesma coisa.
