Following Brazil's World Cup victory last night, Thiago Silva was not really thrilled with Serbia's coach.
Chelsea's Silva shouted out Dragan Stoikovic, according to Mercado Do Futebol, after Tite's squad opened their competition with a 2-0 victory.
In the lead-up to the match on Thursday in Qatar, Stoikovic made some lighthearted jokes about the depth of attacking potential in Brazil.
How did you say that? There will be four attackers playing for Serbia. In his pre-game press conference, he declared, "If that happens, we're done."
Will there be any defense players?
Tite chose a team against Serbia that was largely made up of forward players and arguably should have done so.
Richarlison, a new addition to Tottenham Hotspur, started in front of Neymar, Vinicius Junior, and Raphinha.
A quartet that is dazzling but they were given the basis to show off their array of skills by a strong Brazilian backbone.
Silva shuts down Serbia
Casemiro shuttled up and down in front of the defence, giving protection to the sturdy pair of Silva and Marquinhos.
Liverpool’s goalkeeper Alisson ensured his net remained untouched.
Stoikovic’s comments about the Seleção Canarinha’ potentially flimsy backline clearly backfired, as they kept Serbia at bay relatively easily.
