According to Luiz Felipe Scolari, Brazil showed Chile too much cordial towards Chile during the World Cup quarter-final clash
The population of the host nation of the 2014 World Cup were left happy as Brazil qualified for the quarter-finals after getting past fellow South American side, Chile.
However, elimination appeared to be on the horizon for the Selecao as a 1-1 draw led to penalty shootouts, one which the five-time champions nervously won 3-2.
Furthermore, La Roja outclassed Luiz Felipe Scaolari’s men for huge portions of the game but much to the relief of the home crowd, Brazil made it into the next round and will now face Caoalombia on July 4 for a semi-final spot.
After the end of the game, the Selecao’s 65-year-old manager argued “politness” was the reason his side failed to stroll to an easy win.
