Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti said Sunday’s painful World Cup last-16 exit at the hands of Norway should be used as “fuel” for the future as he insisted their disappointing tournament is “the start of a new cycle”.
“Obviously everyone is deeply disappointed, considering what happened. I don’t think we have had a spectacular World Cup but we had a good one. I think we even deserved to win the game today,” Ancelotti said after the 2-1 loss at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
Erling Haaland scored two late goals for Norway in a match which hinged on an early penalty by Brazil’s Bruno Guimaraes which was saved. Neymar’s successful spot-kick in injury time was scant consolation.
