NEW YORK, July 5 : Brazil created opportunities but could not risk applying too much pressure, said coach Carlo Ancelotti after his team lost 2-1 to Norway in a shock World Cup last-16 exit on Sunday. Brazil, who last missed out on a World Cup quarter-final place in 1990, never really found their rhythm.

Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti insists his squad will trust their collective defence rather than focusing entirely on stopping Erling Haaland in their World Cup Round of 16 tie.

Carlo Ancelotti’s Brazil look to contain Erling Haaland and Norway in New Jersey.
