Brazil coach Tite has lamented the new arrangements for European international fixtures, making it harder for the Selecao to arrange matches against top quality European opposition.

Brazil again face CONMEBOL colleagues Colombia and Peru during this round of friendlies and the Brazil boss admits he would prefer to have more games against UEFA sides.
