Brazil vs Nigeria: Tite warns Neymar, others after 1-1 draw with Senegal

Brazil coach, Tite, has admitted he is struggling to get the most out of his players, after Thursday’s 1-1 draw against Senegal.

Famara Diedhiou scored a penalty late in the first half of the friendly international, to cancel out Roberto Firmino’s ninth-minute opener at the Singapore National Stadium.

Brazil drew 2-2 with Colombia and lost 1-0 to Peru in last month’s friendlies and are winless in three matches.

Tite has now demanded more from his players, ahead of Sunday’s friendly against the Super Eagles of Nigeria.

“We were below what we can do. The squad played less than what it can play.

“It was less competitive than what it can be. The squad can give more than this. This wasn’t a good game.

“We need to get results. When we don’t, criticism emerges and I have to be mature enough to absorb it,” Tite said at his post-match news conference.
