Cunha believes that, in order to compete for the title, the Brazilian women must show strength, speed and physical and tactical preparation. In addition, he emphasizes the paramount importance of mental strength to overcome teams considered theoretically stronger.
Remember that in the first round the Brazilians beat
Panama 4-0
and then lost to
France 2-1.
