 Tite Admit Making Mistake Resulting in Neymar’s Injury

Brazil’s coach Tite has admitted that he made a mistake in their opening world cup game against Serbia by not substituting his captain.

The Selecao’s lost Neymar to an ankle injury in their win over Serbia, with Tite admitting he made a mistake for not replacing his star man ahead of time.

He said he did not notice earlier that Neymar had sustained an ankle injury in Brazil’s World Cup win over Serbia.

Neymar limped off in the 80th minute in their game against Serbia on Thursday, having suffered what has been described as a lateral ligament injury to his right ankle.

However, at a pre-match press conference ahead of Brazil’s second Group G game, against Switzerland, Tite conceded that, he could have handled his star man better.

“I made a mistake,” he said. “I did not realise and I want to publicly acknowledge this.

“He was injured, I didn’t see that he had an injury, we didn’t get that information. 

“He tried to continue to play until he told us he was feeling his ankle, because right then he had the ability to try to push with the team, he participated in the goals.

“I hadn’t seen he had an injury, it was 10 minutes and it was not malicious, it was accidental” He added.

But Tite still remain confident that Neymar and Danilo will both return before Brazil’s campaign in Qatar comes to an end.
