USA will not change course in Wednesday’s friendly match Brazilcoach said Gregg Berhalter, despite a 5-1 loss against Colombia in their preparations for the Copa América last weekend. Colombia scored three times in 11 minutes of the second half to defeat the American team in Landover, Maryland, causing alarm among local fans.
“We want to get information about Brazil and about our own players, so we have to be brave and continue with our plan,” Berhalter told reporters a few hours ago. “Obviously there is a lot of external pressure after the 5-1 defeat at home, but for us, I insist, it is about preparing the group for the Copa América.”
Berhalter said the coaching staff will focus more on work than results when the United States faces Brazil in Orlando, Florida, with little time left before the quadrennial tournament that will be held in the United States from June 20 to July 14. .
“If we take care of the game and see 11 men, 16 men, playing at eight out of 10 levels, that’s enough. We know Brazil is a very good team, but for us it’s about how find our highest level against teams like this,” he said.
There are few teams that will test the mettle of the United States more than Brazil, which enjoyed a friendly victory in preparation for the Copa América when it defeated Mexico 3-2 in a friendly played on Saturday.
The United States is on an 11-game losing streak against the South American team that dates back 26 years. “Brazil’s greatest strength? I don’t even know where to start. If you look at every position in the proposed starting 11, he’s probably one of the best players in the world.”
