Thales Machado, Live from Buenos Aires
About the Coach and the players’ responsibility:
“My role as a coach is to organise, set technical plans and the strategy. And from there on it is the players’ role to bring that personal brilliance to the game. And we have that brilliance!”
About Robinho:
“I had one-on-one conversations with some players that I thought needed a particular attention. But I prefer to have conversations with the whole team. It is more responsible and allows a general understanding. The adjustments will be done that way so that everyone understands. This includes Robinho.”
About the team that will play against Paraguay:
“I don’t know if I’ll do some changes. I said i would try some options to see how the team would react. I don’t know if I’ll do the adjustments at the start or during the game. We still have time to think about this.”
