In the 16th round of the qualifiers in South America, Brazil defeated Paraguay 1-0 at home to qualify early. After the game, Allison was interviewed by the Sportv channel program Troca de Passes and talked about the turmoil that the national team has...
"Off-court issues make us sad, the national team has experienced this kind of thing (political crisis) ... but this has been going on for a while and not recently. On the court, we are usually protected, but not in this cycle. Due to uncertainty, lack of confidence in what we do, first led by the interim coach, Dinis is a very good professional, but he was coaching another club at the time. Then there was Dorival, who tried to buy more time, but failed. Ancelotti has always been our main goal, he brought happiness, stability and security, and every word he said has a different weight."
"But it's stupid to say that we can win the World Cup now, but we are on the right path. The changes are obvious now, and we can calmly analyze and draw this conclusion. The overall and individual performance of the team has improved significantly. Our team is very young and it is normal to have pressure. This feels like running with a double burden. But some new changes are happening here, and Ancelotti and his team have made great contributions to it. They have given us great help. "
" Although it was not good to go through difficulties, it also made us stronger. A successful team always has to go through the baptism of difficult times. Our main goal is to advance to the World Cup, and this qualifier is very difficult, the hardest one I have ever experienced, and many factors have affected the game. But we did not evade responsibility. Today we played a great game, which is what we always wanted. "
