Danilo asks for patience with Brazil’s youngsters: ‘They can do great things’

Brazil was tied 0-0 with Uruguay in 90 minutes and was eliminated on penalties. As he left the field, right-back and captain Danilo praised Brazil’s performance and asked for patience with young players.

– It also had to be more effective in the one or two situations where we were clear. It’s hard for me to talk now because we fought, we showed ourselves in the way we had to, with fairness and quality. Then there were the penalties, which were also work, nothing better than a lottery, but this young team showed that they can do great things. I just hope people have a little patience.

– It’s fair, Brazil hasn’t won anything for a long time, but be patient with these youngsters. I don’t say it myself, I don’t know yet how long I will be with the national team, I don’t even know if I will have more time, but for me it’s a huge privilege to be with a national team. With a team like this, there’s a lot of work, a lot of professionalism, a lot of commitment. But like I said, there are demands, but be a little patient with Enderique and Savinho because they need it, they are excellent people and need support – Finished second place for Brazil.

Brazil’s next match will be a World Cup qualifier against Ecuador on September 5. The date and venue have yet to be determined.
