Tite Warns Brazil Players To Raise Their Game Against Super Eagles
Published: October 11, 2019Brazil national team coach Tite has warned his players to raise their standards when they face the Super Eagles in their next international friendly on Sunday, October 13.
The five-time world champions have found it tough in their last two matches with African opposition, struggling to beat Cameroon 1-0 last November and looked off the pace in a 1-1 draw with Senegal on Thursday.
Since winning the Copa America in July 2019, Tite's side have not won any of their last three games and suffered a defeat at the hands of South American rivals Peru in a friendly last month.
The former Corinthians and Internacional manager has urged the Seleção stars to show the same commitment as Senegal when they face the Super Eagles.
When quizzed about the next friendly against Nigeria at the post-match press conference following the draw against the Teranga Lions, Tite told reporters: ''You have to raise the competitive level. For the African team the friendly has an importance and for us it must have''.
Nigeria began their preparations for the friendly against Brazil on Thursday with twenty one players taking part in the training session.
