Brazil coach, Tite, might be very well enamoured of Argentina superstar, Messi but after coming up top against him with his side early Wednesday, he is happy his game plan worked to perfection.
Tite, whose Brazil side, are yet to concede a goal in this year’s tournament, was happy with how his Thiago Silva-defence limited Messi and his compatriots.
“I talked to Scaloni, maybe after he spoke to you [the media], but Messi is an alien. Messi is exceptional,” he told reporters.
“We had to tinker with the structure of the team, so we brought Firmino a little further back to close the midfield to reduce his actions, and also to explore our speed.
“We scored and then got less possession of the ball than we normally do, but we brought effectiveness and we were decisive,” he added.
