Brazil head coach, Carlo Ancelotti, has opened up on their exit from the 2026 World Cup.
The Selecao were eliminated by Norway in the Round of 16.
Erling Haaland scored two late goals before Neymar Jr pulled one back from the spot.
Ancelotti, speaking with ESPN, claimed the hydration break affected his team negatively.
He said: “I think we lost the World Cup during the hydration break vs Norway.
“Why? Because until that moment, the team was in control. It’s also true that Norway had a lot of possession in their half, they played the same way against England. They controlled the game, and they could’ve won.
“That’s where my mistake may have been, thinking that the team had lost control of the game when it hadn’t.
“I made a few changes to the lineup, and then we had the problem with Erling Haaland’s goal.”
