Fabricio Oya (Brazil midfielder): "Scottish are physically stronger than us"

Brazil's midfielder Fabricio Oya talked about his team's defeat against Scotland 1-0, focusing on the Scottish's physical strength :
"They were a very powerful team, much more than us. Despite this, we played well, we had situations, we did what we have to do. We hope to play even better against Czech Republic.

This is my first time in national team. It's a very popular Tournament all around the world. It gives us the opportunity to discover other cultures as well. Thanks to that, we can improve ourselves.
In Brazil, we already try to do what they do in Europe, to reproduce that kind of competition, with a lot of intensity".

Carlos Amadeus Nascimento Lemos (Brazil coach): "It has been very difficult for us" :

"We had ball possession, but we never succeed to create real opportunities to score.
Scottish were more powerful than us, everybody saw it. We came here with a very young team too. All players were born in 1999, they have no experience.
We also take part to the Tournament to prepare players to next national tournaments. If we get qualified, it we will give us two more games to prepare ourselves."
