Carlos Parreira Team Quotations

It will be a good experience for us to take on a national team with a similar style to Australia, our second opponents at the World Cup.

The best two teams have reached the final.

We have less than one year before the World Cup. I want to have the best team in all the games, the qualifiers and every friendly before the competition.

It was a mental victory more than anything else. I am very proud of my team because it is very, very difficult to beat Germany especially when they are at home.

This was the coldest match I have ever been involved in with any sort of team at any level. I've never been in a situation like this before. I was freezing on the bench.

It's wonderful for Brazil to have so many talented forwards. We have many good players, and I don't think other teams have so many, so I think that it's a good problem. We have good replacements. It's wonderful.

We never thought it would be easy. Argentina came with all these experienced players, but our team proved they are capable of overcoming any difficulties.

Other teams have problems deciding who will be picked, we have problems deciding who will be left out. Some very good players will miss out because we can only take 23.
