:01:39. > :01:47.Confederations Cup and they face each other tonight in our live match
:01:47. > :01:57.here on BBC Three. The host's 3-0 win over Japan but then head of the
:01:57. > :01:57.
:01:57. > :02:04.rest in group A. Lee will be able to see it live on BBC One later. This
:02:04. > :02:10.game is taking place in Fortaleza, in the north-east of the country,
:02:10. > :02:15.and the stadium cost �155 million. As you have probably seen on the
:02:15. > :02:20.news, in the past few days, the cost of staging the World Cup next year
:02:20. > :02:26.is causing huge protests on the streets of Brazil. Our commentator
:02:26. > :02:29.is that the stadium. There is going to be a delay on this so please be
:02:29. > :02:39.patient but, it's important you tell us about the protests which have
:02:39. > :02:39.
:02:39. > :02:46.been where you are today. Yes, it was a far from run-of-the-mill
:02:46. > :02:50.journey to a football match, to a football ground, to cover a football
:02:50. > :02:55.match. 30,000 took to the streets in Fortaleza blocking the main road up
:02:55. > :02:57.to the stadium. We arrived here at four hours ago and the crowd had
:02:57. > :03:04.gathered, we couldn't get through and had to take a long route
:03:04. > :03:08.around. No problem for us. The police were on hand and seemed keen
:03:08. > :03:12.and you knew at some stage something was going to happen and we have
:03:13. > :03:17.since had reports of rubber bullets being used and tear gas to disperse
:03:17. > :03:20.the crowd. It's a strange feeling because inside the stadium, we are
:03:20. > :03:30.in a bubble. There are Mexican wave is going on and you wouldn't believe
:03:30. > :03:33.something that magnitude happened outside. We had seen tweets from
:03:33. > :03:43.various footballers. Is that a lot of sympathy for the protest is in
:03:43. > :03:47.
:03:47. > :03:49.the wider country? There seems to be. I was in a press conference
:03:49. > :03:54.delivered by Felipe Scolari yesterday and it was asked about
:03:54. > :03:59.whether his players were getting behind? The general feeling of
:03:59. > :04:03.unrest in the country started as a protest against the rising cost of
:04:03. > :04:07.public transport. The world is watching now and people have decided
:04:07. > :04:10.to complain about the amount of money being spent on things like the
:04:10. > :04:20.World Cup and the Olympics against the general infrastructure for the
:04:20. > :04:25.Brazilians. I know Hulk was prominent. Felipe Scolari said he is
:04:25. > :04:30.therefore the people. They have got to concentrate on a football match
:04:30. > :04:34.but, yes, the Brazilian players seem to be behind all this. There really
:04:34. > :04:37.is plenty in the next few weeks, never mind the next couple of years,
:04:37. > :04:43.for the Brazilian government, FIFA and the Olympic organising committee
:04:43. > :04:53.to think about. There's a lot for people to think about. Is there a
:04:53. > :05:03.feeling that this is going to get worse? Well, it has been steadily
:05:03. > :05:04.
:05:04. > :05:08.getting worse. It started in Sao Paulo, which wasn't around in the
:05:09. > :05:13.first game. Word has got around that this is a connected country now.
:05:13. > :05:16.Certainly, the middle level of the country, and the protests are
:05:16. > :05:23.getting bigger and bigger. You wonder where this is going to go
:05:23. > :05:28.next. I can't see it coming down from what I've seen today. OK, once
:05:28. > :05:31.again, apologies for the delay in talking to him. It was important to
:05:31. > :05:36.get the detail and his commentating on tonight 's game and the football
:05:36. > :05:42.does continue, so let's talk about that with you two. What kind of game
:05:42. > :05:45.are you expecting? You think this could be fantastic, but maybe on the
:05:46. > :05:51.evidence of both side's showings in the first game, it could be a bit
:05:51. > :05:57.cagey? I hope it's going to be entertaining. Brazil played well
:05:57. > :06:03.against Japan, much weaker side, and this is how Brazil play at home on
:06:03. > :06:08.home soil. We have not seen in place at a tournament in our lifetimes.
:06:08. > :06:14.This is a forerunner for the World Cup. Playing against Mexico is never
:06:14. > :06:20.easy. The Central Americans raise their game. They are not quite as
:06:20. > :06:24.talented, of course. I think they will be cagey, looking to play on
:06:24. > :06:28.the counterattack quite a bit more which might actually suit Brazil to
:06:28. > :06:36.a certain extent because they like to play with the same tempo. As you
:06:36. > :06:41.can see, Neymar is getting warmed up. I have never seen players
:06:41. > :06:47.arriving with musical instruments before. I've never seen one arrived
:06:47. > :06:50.with a tambourine. Absolutely brilliant. I have a lot of
:06:50. > :06:56.admiration. They look relaxed. Do you think they will be more relaxed
:06:56. > :07:00.never got that out of the way? never do look too uptight, Brazil,
:07:00. > :07:04.and that's part of the international psyche of the team, that they want
:07:04. > :07:10.to be comfortable, relaxed, not to appetite, because they don't play
:07:11. > :07:14.appetite football. Don't be too stiff. Be relaxed, comfortable.
:07:14. > :07:19.Interesting to see them coming out. I think they have got great belief
:07:19. > :07:22.in themselves and it shows by the way they are walking through. Will
:07:22. > :07:27.the game be as open as the games we've already seen? I was impressed
:07:27. > :07:33.with the Mexicans. A couple of changes tonight for the team. I
:07:33. > :07:38.think there will be that man there, not getting as much support as he
:07:38. > :07:42.did in the first game, I think. Plenty of defenders in the team will
:07:42. > :07:49.work hard and I'm not sure they will trade at huge amount of chances. We
:07:49. > :07:55.know that they can cause Brazil problems. We do know that. Dos
:07:55. > :08:02.Santos going in there. Whereas most countries fear take non-Brazil, the
:08:02. > :08:06.Mexicans positively enjoy it. If we go back to 1999, they won the
:08:06. > :08:16.Confederations Cup by beating the Brazilians for-3 on home soil. That
:08:16. > :08:17.
:08:17. > :08:21.was in front of 110,000 fans. Blanco getting their final goal there. And
:08:21. > :08:27.since 2000, no country in since 2000, no country in
:08:27. > :08:35.international football has beaten They have won six out of 11 matches
:08:35. > :08:38.including the 2003 cup final. And two out of three co-Pan-American
:08:38. > :08:44.meetings. They also beat them in Texas last year in a friendly and on
:08:44. > :08:54.top of that, Mexico prevented a strong Brazilian team from winning
:08:54. > :09:07.
:09:07. > :09:16.their first Olympic gold medal in Olympic final history in the first
:09:16. > :09:22.minute. He has given Mexico the gold medal. Now they have a chance. He
:09:22. > :09:32.has breathed new life into this Olympic final in 2012. Goodness me
:09:32. > :09:37.
:09:38. > :09:42.that. Mexico victory at night would hurt them as well because all
:09:42. > :09:52.Mexico's victories have been away from Brazil. If they are going to
:09:52. > :09:56.
:09:56. > :10:05.win tonight, where is the week lot of time attacking. The fullbacks
:10:05. > :10:08.play like wingers. The problem with that, that's OK if you are doing
:10:08. > :10:18.that but Brazil will go man for man, constantly. They believe in
:10:18. > :10:19.
:10:19. > :10:29.each other. Have a look at this. David Luiz, we always look at
:10:29. > :10:29.
:10:29. > :10:34.another player who was to rush. They back and covering. The problem is,
:10:34. > :10:38.if you make one mistake, and to get too far up, there's a massive amount
:10:38. > :10:45.of space to break into. In this game, quite clearly, the Japanese
:10:45. > :10:48.were not quick enough to get into position. That looks like a good
:10:48. > :10:54.old-fashioned British line. What Luiz here. Off he goes on his
:10:54. > :11:04.travels. He's left a massive gap. He plays that a ball and that ball goes
:11:04. > :11:05.
:11:05. > :11:15.through. Silva is exactly the same. He loves to lick a ball. Luiz does
:11:15. > :11:21.it all the time. Look at the space. It is massive. You tell me if that
:11:21. > :11:27.is any number of players, they will get that ball through. That's where
:11:27. > :11:37.the Brazilians's weaknesses. Hernandez will be thinking to
:11:37. > :11:39.
:11:39. > :11:42.you know your defender will go one-on-one for you, that presumably
:11:42. > :11:48.gives you a boost? Yes, you hope he will take that chance and you might
:11:48. > :11:54.be waiting for 85 minutes sometimes but it could be in the last few
:11:54. > :11:59.seconds of the game. You need your midfielders to be aware. And also
:11:59. > :12:03.the ability to deliver the passes as well. That's the reason why Felipe
:12:04. > :12:06.Scolari goes for those holding midfield player. I think they are
:12:06. > :12:13.both very good players and they need to be just as aware of what's
:12:13. > :12:16.happening behind them as well as in front of them in order to pump in
:12:16. > :12:26.sight for the fullbacks. Is it unusual for centre halves in the
:12:26. > :12:26.
:12:26. > :12:30.modern game to be told to go one-on-one? It's not unknown. In the
:12:30. > :12:36.British game, it unusual. It's not unknown. Alex Ferguson will do it
:12:36. > :12:43.late on in games. It is chasing a game. Jose Mourinho did it time and
:12:43. > :12:47.again. The differences, Brazil do it normally. Barcelona do it as the
:12:47. > :12:54.norm. They feel, we are good enough to take you one-on-one most of the
:12:54. > :12:58.time. We will properly score four goals. It's not that it's wrong,
:12:58. > :13:01.about not doing the special things we have learned, but it's a
:13:02. > :13:06.different attitude. It's a lovely philosophy to have, if you score
:13:06. > :13:13.one, we will score four. It scored Brazil dearly in big tournaments
:13:13. > :13:16.over the years. 1982, they only had to draw to progress to the World Cup
:13:16. > :13:20.semi-final and they lost it. I think this is the British attitude,
:13:20. > :13:27.though. It has not heard the Spanish. The Spanish have done quite
:13:27. > :13:32.well. Brazil are far superior to Brazil right now and they can
:13:32. > :13:42.exploit this weakness is other teams have. Our second game tonight is an
:13:42. > :13:42.
:13:42. > :14:29.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 47 seconds
:14:29. > :14:33.11 p.m. Kick-off. Japan will need to sorts of problems in their first
:14:34. > :14:38.match, if only they had had Martin Keogh. Time for some role-playing
:14:38. > :14:44.with Jason Manford... Recife, on the north-east coast of
:14:44. > :14:49.Brazil, has some stunning coastline and fabulous beaches. We are hoping
:14:49. > :14:54.for glorious sunshine in the arena as Italy take on Japan. Martin Keogh
:14:54. > :14:59.and has made the journey to CS. You were in the Maracana last night,
:14:59. > :15:03.Mario Balotelli was outstanding. power and pace, they could not
:15:03. > :15:11.handle him. He was played like a schoolboy. You have to get physical
:15:11. > :15:16.with him, , it was only a matter of time before he scored a goal.
:15:16. > :15:21.fair to say we missed him in the Premier League, how would you take
:15:21. > :15:25.someone on like Mario Balotelli? Let's try to demonstrate, you have
:15:25. > :15:30.got to really impose on the physical players, but if you are too tight,
:15:30. > :15:34.you cannot see the ball. My trek was always, at arms length, lots of
:15:34. > :15:39.power and strength in that arm, then I would follow through with a big
:15:39. > :15:43.challenge, I want him to feel that strength, intimidate him early on.
:15:43. > :15:48.Picking him up, he feels my strength, put him on his feet, made
:15:48. > :15:54.him think, how strong is this guy? The next one, it is really physical
:15:55. > :16:01.at that point, I am back a little bit, and hopefully they will fall
:16:01. > :16:06.into my arms. Mix it up, variation, don't let them dictate to you, be
:16:06. > :16:10.physical but sensible, pick out your challenges. He has still got a bit
:16:10. > :16:15.of power! I would pay good money to see you come up against Mario
:16:15. > :16:19.Balotelli. Never going to happen, unfortunately. Japan were pretty
:16:19. > :16:29.average against Brazil. Their tactics, Honda has to come more
:16:29. > :16:34.central. Endo is a player I really rate, but he has to play better.
:16:34. > :16:42.Thank you for that demonstration, great to see you! Italy against
:16:42. > :16:52.Japan, remember the Italians have Being wrestled on a beach by Martin
:16:52. > :16:58.
:16:58. > :17:05.Keown is most people's idea of a up in the air? He tried a couple of
:17:05. > :17:13.times, but he never tried to pick me up. Did you use your elbows on him?
:17:13. > :17:17.Bar for because, isn't it? Get your strike in first. I applaud you! No
:17:18. > :17:27.Martin Keown in the starting 11 for the Mexicans! But this is how they
:17:28. > :17:31.
:17:31. > :17:35.line up against Brazil, a couple of into the middle of midfield, but we
:17:35. > :17:39.are paying particular attention to the relationship between Giovani dos
:17:39. > :17:44.Santos and Guardado. Dos Santos just behind Hernandez, Guardado on the
:17:44. > :17:48.left. They are quite fluid, they will interchange when they can. Both
:17:49. > :17:55.are happy to receive the ball, Dos Santos is a very good move up with
:17:55. > :17:59.the ball. I think he will choose his moments to run with the ball,
:17:59. > :18:03.because you can become isolated, Mexico not a site that will dominate
:18:03. > :18:08.possession, so he needs to be aware of the people close to him,
:18:08. > :18:13.certainly in terms of attacking from left flank, he is very strong.
:18:13. > :18:16.workrate was very impressive in this game. He has always been quite a
:18:16. > :18:22.hard worker, he has got that bustling style, he is a strong boy,
:18:22. > :18:27.lots of power in those legs, and Mexico are an unselfish side.
:18:27. > :18:32.Unfortunately, they do not have the top star quality to trouble teams
:18:32. > :18:37.consistently. In saying that, there is an opportunity in this game, he
:18:37. > :18:40.should have squared across goal. You Harry defenders into mistakes, he is
:18:40. > :18:45.the guilty party year, a penalty, Hernandez converted, right back into
:18:45. > :18:49.the game. They will have to have more possession in the final third
:18:49. > :18:58.tonight. Given what you said, Pat, about the Dyfed Luiz and Thiago
:18:58. > :19:02.Silva, can Dos Santos and Hernandez cause them problems? Yes, they can,
:19:02. > :19:07.maybe they have not got a huge amount of chances, but he has got
:19:07. > :19:11.the pace. A couple of yards, they are only available for a second or
:19:11. > :19:16.two, and only certain players can take advantage of that really well.
:19:16. > :19:19.Hernandez is one of the best in the business so he will take his
:19:19. > :19:24.chances. His numbers are good, the rest of the team do not score many
:19:24. > :19:32.goals, but he is still scoring goals. Brazil are unchanged from the
:19:32. > :19:42.win over Japan, as you can see, Coolio Cesar in goal. We have spent
:19:42. > :19:54.
:19:54. > :19:59.a lot of time talking about the back been looking at some of his skills.
:19:59. > :20:03.He really annoys me, I wish I had thought of doing these things! Not
:20:03. > :20:10.just the balance, power and skill, look at the defenders. What on earth
:20:10. > :20:15.is going on, they are saying! He holds players off, the right foot,
:20:15. > :20:19.but watch the left, Right, left click. Most people would pass that
:20:19. > :20:25.with the right, but not the left. The next little bit of skill, he
:20:25. > :20:28.means that. That is a backheel not make from a player behind you. He
:20:28. > :20:35.tries these things. It is not a fluke, I have been watching him. He
:20:35. > :20:39.gets on the ball, he does all the nuts and bolts stuff as well, he can
:20:39. > :20:44.drive at players and create space. A decent, normal cross. But this is
:20:44. > :20:49.the big one for me. We talked about it after the game, I think he
:20:49. > :20:57.deliberately does this, he spins the ball. He takes a bit of it, noticed
:20:57. > :21:03.the backspin. If he had waited a split-2nd he would have been closed
:21:03. > :21:07.down by the Japanese defence, great execution. I think that was the
:21:07. > :21:12.fourth minute, that sets them up and running. I think when he goes to
:21:12. > :21:17.Barcelona, they are playing the most simple football, and he will not be
:21:17. > :21:21.allowed to bring too many flicks in and step overs. I have never seen
:21:21. > :21:25.Messi do an outrageous flick in years, so if he can bring that
:21:26. > :21:30.simplicity into his game, I think he will be a success at Barcelona.
:21:30. > :21:35.you wonder whether he will fit in at Barcelona? It seems ridiculous, but
:21:36. > :21:42.it is like that and Ibrahim of itch, albeit a different type of player.
:21:42. > :21:45.Some would say that Thierry Henry was not as great at Barcelona as he
:21:45. > :21:49.was at Arsenal. There have been examples of superstars not fitting
:21:49. > :21:57.in. I am concerned, because simplicity is the key, playing for
:21:57. > :22:02.Barcelona, and also, who will you replace? Iniesta? That is unlikely,
:22:02. > :22:08.certainly not Messi. Wherever Pedro plays, Neymar has the opportunity to
:22:08. > :22:18.make that his role. You will be able to watch this game in
:22:18. > :22:30.
:22:30. > :22:34.high-definition, and there are for Brazil against Mexico, and your
:22:34. > :22:44.commentary team tonight is Mark Lawrenson and also we have heard

:23:01. > :23:11.colour. It all seems a far cry from what has been happening outside in
:23:11. > :23:15.the build-up to this Confederations Cup game. We had to navigate a two
:23:15. > :23:18.kilometre exclusion zone around the stadium to get here. People were
:23:18. > :23:22.protesting that too much is being spent on the World Cup and the
:23:23. > :23:27.Olympics, not enough on general infrastructure. Tear gas, rubber
:23:27. > :23:33.bullets, rocks thrown, on a huge day for this region, the first time

:34:34. > :34:37.letting Neymar build a head of steam, you cannot do that,
:34:37. > :34:46.especially when he gets into your penalty area. I think that was a

:34:51. > :34:56.I've heard. A lot of football matches I have been lucky enough to

:39:24. > :39:32.Inside the first nine minutes of the game, his second goal of the
:39:32. > :39:37.confederations cup. 1-0. They must about three or four chances from the
:39:37. > :39:42.first minute. This is all about technique. We saw his right footed
:39:43. > :39:47.goal at the weekend. This was just as good. Left foot at this time.
:39:47. > :39:54.Takes a while to come down but absolutely brilliant technique.
:39:54. > :39:58.Fantastic. He just blasts this one over the bar. Look at that. The
:39:58. > :40:08.cheering for the goal gave way to gasps when the replay was shown on
:40:08. > :40:10.
:40:10. > :40:15.the big screen. He is living up to the star billing. Just a pity he
:40:15. > :40:25.might not get into the Barcelona team. 13 goals in his last 15 games
:40:25. > :40:29.

:42:42. > :42:43.
:42:43. > :42:46.few games, plenty of swerve, plenty of movement. Goalkeepers are loathed
:42:46. > :42:49.to claim the ball cleanly first time. Yes, tumour at two plays a big

:43:05. > :43:09.beating Honduras and Costa Rica beating Panama. It keeps Mexico in
:43:10. > :43:14.third place and in a World Cup place, at the moment. They have got
:43:14. > :43:18.to start winning. They are home to Honduras in September. Lose that,
:43:18. > :43:28.there will be alarm bells and they won't go forward next year. They

:43:59. > :44:04.Nearly! I didn't think he was going to get that. Fantastic vision. To
:44:04. > :44:14.all intents and purposes, he never even looked. It's as though he knew.
:44:14. > :44:15.
:44:15. > :44:25.That is the right back. Nominally. Yes, true. No such thing. He has
:44:25. > :44:43.
:44:43. > :44:46.and I think rightly so, that this Brazilian side is still developing
:44:46. > :44:54.and has a long way to go. There is something missing, Scolari said that

:45:21. > :45:27.you can put any pressure on them, of he? The second weekend of the new

:46:36. > :46:42.by much at all! You have got Hulk defending on the edge of his box,
:46:42. > :46:45.the ball comes in, decent cross. Marcelo decides to give it the big
:46:45. > :46:55.Hollywood and get the ball pinched, and in the end Mexico are a little

:47:10. > :47:14.under pressure, it is just getting there is a lengthy delay, a worrying

:47:30. > :47:33.a little bit trite to talk about Brazil in this way, but if you can

:51:48. > :51:52.suppose they are of the, any chance of doing any defending variety! We

:52:34. > :52:40.feels. He has already done it, of course, won the big one, with his
:52:40. > :52:44.national side, but coming back to play in a World Cup on home soil,
:52:44. > :52:54.that is something different. These games are so important, much better

:00:14. > :00:21.thrower. The pace of the game is dropping now. Yes, it was such a
:00:21. > :00:27.frenetic start as well, by Brazil. It is hard, isn't it? It is
:00:27. > :00:37.amazingly hot. If England qualify, just imagine what they would do in
:00:37. > :00:38.
:00:38. > :00:48.the South. Beggars can't be choosers. Good ball, almost. Luiz
:00:48. > :00:57.

:01:07. > :01:18.
:01:18. > :01:24.sleeves up. They have been better, since nine minutes, when they
:01:24. > :01:34.scored? Just outside nine minutes, that was when Neymar gave them the
:01:34. > :01:46.
:01:46. > :01:52.It's a lot more barmy than it is in rather that this time of year.

:02:35. > :02:40.the right time. He left Neymar on Edging back in terms of possession,
:02:40. > :02:50.too. Since they conceded a goal, they are thinking, what's the worst
:02:50. > :03:10.
:03:10. > :03:20.thing that can happen, and they have bother taking the free kick. They
:03:20. > :03:41.
:03:41. > :03:45.will let the ball roll and get on Luiz Felipe Scolari, trying to
:03:45. > :03:55.organise those at the back. I'm not sure his players will hear him above
:03:55. > :04:06.
:04:06. > :04:10.stoutly, and he has paid the price here because he has gone down head.
:04:10. > :04:19.There doesn't seem to be a question about a central defensive abilities
:04:19. > :04:25.as there is in Europe. One of his own players actually caught him. I
:04:25. > :04:31.think he called the back of one of his own players's had. One of
:04:31. > :04:41.Europe's finest size -- side in action tonight, Italy against Japan,
:04:41. > :04:49.
:04:49. > :04:56.and you can see it on BBC One live field for a little while, at least.
:04:56. > :05:01.A new shirt needed, for starters. Yes, there are spots on it now. They
:05:02. > :05:11.will be a few more on there before he finishes playing. He can use it
:05:12. > :05:37.
:05:37. > :05:43.side of the field? Why didn't they clean the ball with. Maybe not.
:05:43. > :05:49.don't know what he's doing. I think there's a few blood spots on the
:05:49. > :05:59.ball. He's washed his hands. He's like Pontius Pilate. I've never seen
:05:59. > :06:13.
:06:13. > :06:23.that before. It is still dripping, Brazil, temporarily down to tender.
:06:23. > :06:32.
:06:32. > :06:38.Typical Brazil, they just leave Mexico free kick. The way Neymar
:06:38. > :06:43.goes in to tackle is being called into question by the referee. You
:06:43. > :06:53.can't give him a telling off, not in front of these fans.
:06:53. > :07:28.
:07:29. > :07:34.Luiz has got up. He's on the far that header. He's causing problems,
:07:34. > :07:39.isn't he, Dos Santos? Very good on the right foot or the left foot.
:07:40. > :07:49.When he gets into the box, you can't get anywhere near him. He was a
:07:50. > :07:55.
:07:55. > :08:05.scorer last year, Mexico 2-0 in many of Mexico's girls. They are
:08:05. > :08:33.
:08:33. > :08:36.reliant on him. It is taking a lot complaining about that. Mexico make
:08:36. > :08:46.the most diverse and tried to get the ball into the box whilst Luiz is
:08:46. > :08:59.
:08:59. > :09:09.off pitch. He has waved him back on, he is in good enough shape to carry
:09:09. > :09:21.
:09:21. > :09:26.on. You wouldn't really want to be Hernandez doesn't have a choice!
:09:26. > :09:36.Mexico get a free kick. This is where they get sloppy. We've said
:09:36. > :09:37.
:09:37. > :09:47.before, the defence of decision-making is poor. This is a
:09:47. > :09:54.
:09:54. > :10:04.very useful position for the he's played a lot of his career at
:10:04. > :10:11.

:10:21. > :10:37.
:10:37. > :10:43.was required and Brazil is required -- away. Neymar charged down the
:10:43. > :10:53.middle and Hulk didn't even look where Neymar had gone. Another free
:10:53. > :11:25.
:11:25. > :11:34.great big blob of gasoline. He can't part in the world. Flores is just
:11:34. > :11:44.letting him know. -- pass. Dare I say it, it's been a bit mediocre
:11:44. > :11:51.
:11:51. > :11:57.since Neymar scored. The first 15 against Japan? Yes, it is very, very
:11:57. > :12:07.similar. Mexico probably have got a little bit more going forward but
:12:07. > :12:33.
:12:33. > :12:37.that's not saying a lot about Japan, fourth official is assessing them.
:12:37. > :12:47.He wasn't able to make the judgement because it was on the other side of
:12:47. > :13:23.
:13:23. > :13:27.the field of -- shift. Yes, and a it. Hernandez. Another free kick.
:13:27. > :13:37.Yes, some of those tackles have been careless in the extreme. It's going
:13:37. > :13:37.
:13:37. > :13:47.to be a yellow card for Silva now. It's just a daft tackle. Hernandez
:13:47. > :14:17.
:14:17. > :14:27.is going away from your goal. No is on the field, he is involved. --
:14:27. > :14:53.
:14:53. > :15:03.first nine and a half minutes, his team have done quite well. Scoring
:15:03. > :15:08.
:15:08. > :15:18.goals has been a problem for them far away, on the totting up bases,
:15:18. > :15:36.
:15:36. > :15:44.from getting a yellow card. -- end of the first half. Scolari is
:15:44. > :15:54.getting a little bit agitated, isn't he? He is not happy.He was having a
:15:54. > :16:18.
:16:18. > :16:26.go at the referee, he had a good put the ball in the box before
:16:26. > :16:29.half-time. Your mate again, look, Neymar. He will have to learn, it is
:16:29. > :16:39.all right when someone touches you and you go over, but that was a
:16:39. > :16:58.
:16:58. > :17:08.the roof of his net. It was not meant as a shot, just a cross,
:17:08. > :17:11.
:17:11. > :17:16.them a little bit. Just what he was saying yesterday, happy with his
:17:16. > :17:22.team in general, but there is something missing. Is that true of
:17:22. > :17:32.the first half? Yes, yes, there is genius in there, but it is not there

:17:32. > :18:12.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 47 seconds

:18:36. > :18:40.around until the interval is Neymar has written the script again,
:18:40. > :18:45.writing his own in many ways. The ninth minute of the game, wonderful
:18:45. > :18:55.strike, the only goal we have seen. Brazil have gone a little off the
:18:55. > :18:57.
:18:57. > :19:01.boil since then. Brazil 1, Mexico little of the boil, you may have
:19:01. > :19:05.expected to all three goals by half-time, but it has not come.
:19:06. > :19:09.Similar to the opening 15 minutes against Japan. Mexico are a more
:19:09. > :19:15.polished side, but in terms of retaining the ball, Mexico far
:19:15. > :19:19.better than the Japanese. They also have a better cutting edge, Dos
:19:19. > :19:24.Santos in the final third. Not easy for Brazil to overwhelm a decent
:19:24. > :19:28.side, it is hard and difficult to maintain a high tempo for 45
:19:28. > :19:33.minutes. Do we give Mexico a bit of credit for getting back into it,
:19:33. > :19:38.albeit not on the scoreline? Absolute 100%, give them a lot of
:19:38. > :19:42.credit, they could have folded. They are playing in Brazil's backyard, so
:19:42. > :19:47.there is a lot of expectation that Brazil should win easily, starting
:19:47. > :19:51.as well as they did. In all honesty, they finished the half the better
:19:51. > :19:57.side, so this game is not finished yet, no doubt about that. Brazil,
:19:57. > :20:01.yes, they look a little bit jaded, but they can change the pace when
:20:01. > :20:05.they want to, Brazil, and there might be another spark later on.

:21:57. > :22:02.copy of their performance against Japan, but the goal was not a carbon
:22:02. > :22:12.copy, although it involved Neymar again, a fantastic volley. We have
:22:12. > :22:17.
:22:17. > :22:22.come to expect it from them, this goal, but this is why Barcelona have
:22:22. > :22:27.paid so much money for him. Great ball from Dani Alves, he is not
:22:27. > :22:33.anxious to get into the box. Players who are not in the box strikers,
:22:33. > :22:43.this is the sort of chance they live for. Patience is the key, keep your
:22:43. > :22:43.
:22:43. > :22:53.eye on the ball. Had thought the ball came off the keeper's shin.
:22:53. > :22:54.
:22:54. > :22:58.you are classing that as a shin... It's just slightly rolled out.
:22:58. > :23:05.first thing you notice is it was his right foot and then his left foot, a
:23:05. > :23:10.volley, just underlining the fact that he has got so much class. It is
:23:10. > :23:14.a volley, 15 yards, 20 yards, it is whatever, he will take it, because
:23:15. > :23:21.he believes in himself. You have both spoken about him, what did you
:23:22. > :23:25.make of his first 45? His first 15 or 20 were absolutely off the
:23:25. > :23:30.scale. I started feeling sorry for the defenders. They gave him a
:23:30. > :23:35.little bit too much time early on, but he has got amazing pace, you
:23:35. > :23:39.sometimes forget that. How good is that? I hate to talk about another
:23:39. > :23:45.Brazilian Number Ten who is rather famous in his day for chested balls
:23:45. > :23:51.like that, but Pele was phenomenal with that. He has got a long way to
:23:51. > :23:56.go until he gets there, but he has got complete ability. Wherever the
:23:56. > :23:59.ball comes, he has got it under control immediately, and he has got
:24:00. > :24:05.strength to add to pace. The amount of free kicks he gets, with the
:24:05. > :24:10.players around him, he is always balanced. We talk about the fact
:24:10. > :24:15.that he has got great balance, they are giving him too much space.
:24:15. > :24:20.running at you, danger! That allows you to go inside or outside. That is
:24:20. > :24:27.what top players are all about, as a covering midfielder, you don't want
:24:27. > :24:34.to get too close, and this time he is coming inside. He has always
:24:34. > :24:38.unselfish as well, a hallmark of a top player. I know you don't want to
:24:38. > :24:43.give him too much space, but if you get close to him, then surely, with
:24:43. > :24:46.the skills he has got, left footed and right footed, some of the stuff
:24:46. > :24:54.you were showing before the match, he is going to get around you, isn't
:24:54. > :24:58.he? Oddly enough, he didn't do as much in the last 25 minutes, so you
:24:59. > :25:03.have to consider, what did they do right to stop him? What they did was
:25:03. > :25:06.push further back, they did not let Marcelo and him work together. When
:25:07. > :25:10.they pushed them further back, which is the easiest thing to say and the
:25:10. > :25:20.hardest thing to do, it is a little bit easier for them. With the ball
:25:20. > :25:21.
:25:21. > :25:24.in the final third, he will do it. The left back slot for Brazil is one
:25:24. > :25:28.the few positions in outside where there is some debate, whether it is
:25:28. > :25:35.Louisa Pouli or Marcelo. The understanding between Neymar and
:25:35. > :25:40.Marcelo is one of the reasons he is favoured. I think that is why he is
:25:40. > :25:49.in front of the boy from Madrid. Certainly, that ability to link up
:25:50. > :25:56.with Neymar they have got a relationship. What impresses me most
:25:57. > :26:04.about this move, not the fancy overhead from Hulk, how quickly they
:26:04. > :26:10.win the ball back. Ten yards outside the Mexican area, they new lease --
:26:10. > :26:13.they nearly score again. That is very unlike Hulk. So that ability to
:26:13. > :26:17.do that, that desire to do that is what the Brazilian public demand,
:26:17. > :26:25.and that is what Scolari will be demanding. That is what coaches like
:26:25. > :26:29.him are looking for. Mexico's best chance came from their right back as
:26:29. > :26:39.well. You have picked out some criticism of the Brazilian way of
:26:39. > :26:39.
:26:39. > :26:47.defending. Their weakness is in defence. In this move, still on his
:26:47. > :26:51.feet... No! Take the ball away? No, didn't do that either. Only two
:26:51. > :26:57.mistake so far, don't miss the tackle. Missed it, and missed it
:26:57. > :27:02.again, that is four mistakes. That is not positioning, that is nothing
:27:02. > :27:06.that you can be working on in the training ground, that is fairly
:27:06. > :27:14.basic, bog-standard defending. And do the right things, and when you
:27:14. > :27:19.don't do that, you are lucky not to lose a goal. For the moment, thank
:27:19. > :27:26.you. Brazil has a long history of players who learned their skills in
:27:26. > :27:29.the poorer areas of the players, but there are some who are not quite so
:27:29. > :27:39.fortunate. Dan Mobley has been to a project that uses football to help
:27:39. > :27:42.
:27:42. > :27:46.the tourist brochures, but a lot of the city is made up of this sort of
:27:46. > :27:56.favela. We know in Brazil that football means life, and here there
:27:56. > :28:05.
:28:05. > :28:12.is a project going on that is the aims is that we train ex-drug
:28:12. > :28:16.soldiers and drugs bosses to become trainers, how to use sports. On the
:28:16. > :28:24.other hand, they work with the kids in the favela, and they are a kind
:28:24. > :28:29.of role model to show them that organised crime is not the right
:28:30. > :28:38.solution. Where could you see your life being if you had not got
:28:38. > :28:44.involved in this? TRANSLATION: I would still be a drug dealer.
:28:44. > :28:48.not living very long. Definitely. Here there is no family who didn't
:28:48. > :28:58.lose one of the family members by a bullet, so many of the kids are
:28:58. > :29:32.
:29:32. > :29:37.make a big success. TRANSLATION: The project has changed
:29:37. > :29:44.my life. If it wasn't for this, I would still be a drug dealer.
:29:44. > :29:51.have any friends who are very good players in football? Yes, at Triano
:29:51. > :29:59.is my childhood friend and we were raised together. He visit often.
:29:59. > :30:04.you have friends who are still in the drug wars? Lots of people. Can
:30:04. > :30:09.you persuade them to follow your path? The decision is up to them.
:30:09. > :30:16.You have to decide whether you want to change your life. Can you measure
:30:17. > :30:25.how successful you are being? the influence on the children, to
:30:25. > :30:33.show them big weapons is not successful in life, but you will
:30:33. > :30:38.have other successes in life. Replay with teams from different cartels,
:30:38. > :30:43.different gangs, and we show them the other side is not the big
:30:43. > :30:46.enemy. With football, we tried to show them you can play together and
:30:46. > :30:53.do things together and when you want, you can become someone in this
:30:53. > :30:57.world. All of us who watch football or play football always banging on
:30:57. > :31:02.about how important it is to us. I don't think I've ever seen it as
:31:02. > :31:10.important as it is here. It's not sad or upsetting, it's inspiring
:31:10. > :31:15.stuff. Football, , isn't it? STUDIO: The power of football, the
:31:15. > :31:25.power of sport. We will have the second half of Brazil against Mexico
:31:25. > :31:39.
:31:39. > :31:49.shortly. 1-0 at half-time. Later on, Wozniacki, who beat Laura Robson
:31:49. > :31:54.
:31:54. > :31:57.today, will be in action again said how well Mexico came back into
:31:57. > :32:05.it. If they are going to get something out of this, it looks
:32:05. > :32:09.likely that Dos Santos will be at the heart of it? Certainly, he's
:32:09. > :32:15.been the only really bright player. The support two and has not been
:32:15. > :32:22.great today, particularly from Guardado. -- the support to him. He
:32:22. > :32:29.has the ability to go round the outside. Despite he's not right
:32:29. > :32:39.footed, he drills it well, but the left foot is his favourite. Not the
:32:39. > :32:40.
:32:40. > :32:46.enough. He really isn't getting close, not close enough to him.
:32:46. > :32:52.There's no doubt that Dos Santos knows, if he gets around him, he's
:32:52. > :32:57.not coming back. We would expect him to be playing behind Hernandez and
:32:57. > :33:04.is drifting a little bit. That could be causing him problems. He doesn't
:33:04. > :33:12.like to defend. That's the bottom line. Dos Santos likes to go to the
:33:12. > :33:16.right side. For Mexico, I always see drifting out to the right. He does
:33:16. > :33:20.like to shoot with his left foot. Unfortunately, he doesn't have
:33:20. > :33:25.enough alongside him at the moment to cause problems. Let's see if
:33:25. > :33:35.Mexico can get themselves back into it, shall we? Let's return to our
:33:35. > :33:43.
:33:43. > :33:50.COMMENTATOR: Thanks, Mark. The players just getting ready to go
:33:50. > :33:54.back out into the very humid evening air. Just past five p.m. Local time.
:33:54. > :34:04.This is a region in the north-east of Brazil. Slightly extended
:34:04. > :34:10.half-time break, I think. Everybody needs to calm down. Luiz Felipe
:34:10. > :34:17.Scolari will have issued some words to his team. They are just delaying
:34:17. > :34:20.their return to the pitch. Mexico already back out there. Just the
:34:20. > :34:26.body language suggests, they are not content with how that went, the
:34:26. > :34:34.first half. The Brazilians? I think big Phil might have had one or two
:34:34. > :34:44.harsh words. Very, very, very good with the ball. Without the ball,
:34:44. > :34:51.they are average, aren't they? are waiting for Hulk. What do Mexico
:34:51. > :34:54.have to do? All of the same? They have got to go for it a little bit.
:34:54. > :35:01.When they started to knock the ball around and the movement was much
:35:01. > :35:06.better, they created a few chances. You have to go for it. You might
:35:06. > :35:16.lose a Game 3-0 by trying to get something from it. That's the word
:35:16. > :35:16.
:35:16. > :35:20.go sometime. Dos Santos is a good guy. The only problem is, there
:35:20. > :35:30.aren't too many other players getting forward, Flores
:35:30. > :35:35.
:35:35. > :35:45.occasionally. They could do with their greatest scorer, Borgetti,
:35:45. > :35:57.
:35:57. > :36:03.Exactly. He set the world alight in the English league. Certainly did
:36:03. > :36:09.well wherever else they went. Brazil start the second half looking to get
:36:09. > :36:16.the crowd going again. After that amazing start to the action. They
:36:16. > :36:23.swarmed all over Mexico. Neymar was heavily strapped. Not moving totally
:36:23. > :36:33.freely as he came out for the second half. The cameras are never off him
:36:33. > :36:33.
:36:33. > :37:46.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 47 seconds
:37:46. > :37:56.not count. The flag is up. A great ball in. An outstanding ball in from
:37:56. > :38:07.
:38:07. > :38:17.Neymar. The yellow shirted Silva was one of the players
:38:17. > :38:30.
:38:30. > :38:35.offside. No, a lot of players in Torres did his level best to get
:38:35. > :38:45.there but not quite quick enough. He's been around the squad for a
:38:45. > :39:24.
:39:24. > :39:33.long time. It can't be that loud in precious little of Fred. Yes, Fred,
:39:33. > :39:43.Oscar. Fred is probably the only one of their attacking players that is
:39:43. > :40:02.
:40:02. > :40:07.asked to hold his position all the seven Brazil games. Scored in both
:40:07. > :40:17.games against England this year. That was their last defeat, at
:40:17. > :40:17.
:40:17. > :41:12.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 47 seconds
:41:12. > :41:19.match breaks out. Yes, he's quite tough Alves Antilles confronted.
:41:19. > :41:24.bit of form. He's been sent off against Mexico before. The last
:41:24. > :41:31.thing Howard Webb will want to do tonight is to produce a red card. We
:41:31. > :41:37.haven't had one in the competition yet. We've had some poor refereeing
:41:37. > :41:47.decisions in terms of the red card. You don't want to see players being
:41:47. > :41:56.
:41:56. > :42:06.sent off but there's been a few the fourth official tonight. He's
:42:06. > :42:15.
:42:15. > :42:21.meant to be one of the strictest sitting back and waiting to be
:42:21. > :42:31.entertained. Yes, Brazil are playing a little bit like that themselves,
:42:31. > :42:55.
:42:55. > :43:05.expecting Mexico to come out and that. Luiz Felipe Scolari going mad
:43:05. > :43:17.
:43:17. > :43:24.there. One of its players didn't his mind up. He can be a little bit
:43:24. > :43:34.and selfish at times. Angry just regulations towards Hulk, who is
:43:34. > :43:46.
:43:46. > :43:56.having none of it. -- the moment. Messed by Moreno
:43:56. > :44:25.
:44:26. > :44:33.the message surely from Jose Manuel de la Torre at half-time must be,
:44:33. > :44:40.believe in yourself, to his players. It will be a goal kick. With a bit
:44:40. > :44:46.of belief, they could get back in this game. It's a one goal lead,
:44:46. > :44:53.very slender. We did mention that excellently yesterday, saying the
:44:53. > :44:57.team is lacking in confidence and that's worse than being nervous.
:44:57. > :45:05.They seem to draw every time they turn out at the moment. They will
:45:05. > :45:09.take the draw against Italy. If they do lose this, they are all but out
:45:09. > :45:19.of the competition unless Japan beat Italy later on. Even then, it's a
:45:19. > :45:51.
:45:51. > :45:57.He has gone six games without a goal, and that should have been a
:45:57. > :46:01.goal. Yes, great interplay as well, and he had that other guy in the
:46:01. > :46:11.picture, Fred, and it is quite an angle for Hulk with the goalkeeper
:46:11. > :46:16.
:46:16. > :46:26.standing up big. He squares it in this game, they are still in this
:46:26. > :46:33.
:46:33. > :46:39.ran past Carlos Salcido as though he was not there. Yeah, great burst of
:46:39. > :46:49.pace and ability. I am just not sure whether it was a cross or a shot. I
:46:49. > :47:00.
:47:00. > :47:10.think it is a shot. He did not look Mexico are inviting Brazil onto them
:47:10. > :47:10.

:50:18. > :50:51.
:50:51. > :51:01.great movement, but David Silva tonight. No, he is on the periphery
:51:01. > :51:11.
:51:11. > :51:19.of the game, isn't he? Time for a got so many attack minded players,

:51:34. > :52:01.
:52:01. > :52:11.about his motives there. Simple, stop Neymar playing! Here is the
:52:11. > :52:13.
:52:13. > :52:18.change, and it is Oscar who is going a long season, 64 games for Chelsea
:52:19. > :52:25.in his first campaign at the club, plus all the games he has played for
:52:25. > :52:35.Brazil - he doesn't miss any. He is replaced by the Lazio midfielder

:56:16. > :56:31.
:56:31. > :56:41.Paulinho broke on and on. He did, he again, to see whether it was an
:56:41. > :56:46.
:56:46. > :56:56.unnecessary tackle on Paulinho. He move to White Hart Lane. He seemed
:56:56. > :57:02.
:57:02. > :57:07.Dos Santos? But Mexico played on, so they cannot moan about the fact that
:57:07. > :57:17.Brazil then obviously tried to score. Arguments there more of a
:57:17. > :57:34.
:57:34. > :57:39.Brazil, don't you? Coming up to the midway point of the second half now,
:57:39. > :57:49.the game is still in the balance. The first ten minutes did not
:57:49. > :58:11.
:58:12. > :58:21.suggest it would be anything like area of uncertainty for goalkeepers.
:58:22. > :58:24.

:01:19. > :01:25.That's the problem. Maybe we've underestimated the heat. I know we
:01:25. > :01:34.have mentioned it before. It's been very staccato, the football, hasn't

:05:41. > :05:50.Luiz and he nearly went all the way over for another Mexico chance.
:05:50. > :05:58.Alves has put it behind. Luiz made a good, late challenge deflection.
:05:58. > :06:08.Alves, this time. Dos Santos has really been their brightest player,
:06:08. > :06:39.
:06:39. > :06:49.bit better than Moreno. Did his arm come out? Yes, it did, because the
:06:49. > :06:59.referee said it did. A yellow. You always wonder. A backhanded slap,
:06:59. > :07:02.
:07:02. > :07:12.wasn't it? He has been getting right up Mexico's knows in this game. --
:07:12. > :07:25.
:07:26. > :07:33.give us a goal and a grandstand finish. Brazil about to make another
:07:33. > :07:38.change, as well. Luiz was there again. How dare we question his
:07:38. > :07:48.centre back qualities? Yes, very, very good in defence today. Very
:07:48. > :07:55.
:07:55. > :08:05.good. Really played as though he has It's Mexico who are pressing right
:08:05. > :08:07.
:08:07. > :08:12.now. I would have done better with it. Free kick rather than goalkick.
:08:13. > :08:22.Yes, there is the bush. His hands were applied to the back of Tyagi
:08:22. > :08:26.Silva. Moura. They love him over here, don't they? Came on for Neymar
:08:26. > :08:33.in the late stages against Japan. He is going to come on for Hulk this
:08:33. > :08:43.time. We haven't really seen Hulk in the second half. A popular player in
:08:43. > :08:56.
:08:56. > :09:02.And on comes a player who was even more popular, Lucas Moura.
:09:02. > :09:09.Came from Paris St Germain and was wanted by Manchester United after
:09:09. > :09:15.the Olympics last summer. Even Sir Alex Ferguson balked at his price.
:09:15. > :09:25.Raised eyebrows at the money for a teenager. A teenager of some
:09:25. > :09:25.
:09:25. > :10:19.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 47 seconds
:10:20. > :10:29.second-half. I really flat performance in the second half from
:10:30. > :10:30.
:10:30. > :10:38.Brazil. The sporadic order bit of attacking play, but very little.
:10:38. > :10:43.chance here. Guardado has knocked it back across. The kind of did. He
:10:43. > :10:46.didn't really do that very well. Rodriguez did know where it was.
:10:46. > :10:56.Brazil are living dangerously. Mexico just don't have what it takes
:10:56. > :10:56.
:10:56. > :11:00.to get back into it, though. Good cross. It was a good cross, yeah. A
:11:00. > :11:10.few occasions they have gone down the right-hand side. And even share
:11:10. > :11:18.
:11:18. > :11:24.there as well. As Spain to said back in a hotel waiting to fill their
:11:24. > :11:28.boots against Tahiti, the feeling is they will not be concerned. A bit
:11:28. > :11:35.concerned about the genius but not for 90 minutes, I wouldn't have
:11:36. > :11:42.thought so. Another striker coming on for Brazil in the shape of Jo. He
:11:42. > :11:52.came on to score against Japan on Saturday. Former Manchester city and
:11:52. > :11:54.
:11:54. > :11:58.Everton player, he finds Barrera. Guardado. Alves Block said. Mexico
:11:58. > :12:08.is corner and the Mexicans keep on coming. They keep getting in so
:12:08. > :12:09.
:12:09. > :12:19.easily. -- Alves blocked it.Strange movement from Cesar, as well, when
:12:19. > :12:42.
:12:42. > :12:52.Number nine. 21 on. It will be Jo, brought into the squad on the eve of
:12:52. > :12:52.
:12:52. > :13:02.the tournament. Played in the final game in the warm-ups against France.
:13:02. > :13:27.
:13:27. > :13:37.A well taken third goal against Brazilian performance. Very easy to
:13:37. > :13:53.
:13:53. > :14:03.forget that first 15 minutes. I'm almost beaten again. He's had a
:14:03. > :14:03.
:14:03. > :15:37.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 47 seconds
:15:37. > :15:47.tough time against Dos Santos in the Paulinho. Salcido was very nearly
:15:47. > :15:54.
:15:54. > :15:58.embarrassed. You just cannot coach Brazil, even when they are not
:15:58. > :16:08.firing and we are tipping them to go on to win this tournament or the
:16:08. > :16:08.
:16:08. > :17:10.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 47 seconds
:17:10. > :17:16.World Cup, they still excite you whole station, or is that going to
:17:16. > :17:22.be had? It seems to have been hit for quite a long time. -- the host
:17:22. > :17:32.nation. It might be too little, too late. Mexico are throwing a striker
:17:32. > :17:51.
:17:51. > :18:01.on now, a tall striker in the form thought he was too roughly dealt
:18:01. > :18:09.
:18:09. > :18:19.with. The problem is, you just never goodness sake! We have seen both
:18:19. > :18:19.
:18:19. > :19:18.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 47 seconds
:19:18. > :19:22.group is Brazil against Italy, that comes on Saturday in Salvador. We
:19:22. > :19:27.will be live with you at the same time, 8pm at home, that is the
:19:27. > :19:33.kick-off time. Even if Italy beat Japan, it is an important game,
:19:33. > :19:43.because you want to win the group Android Spain in the semifinals.
:19:43. > :20:07.
:20:07. > :20:17.That was Hector Herrera in the book. Rodriguez, too, he must have been
:20:17. > :20:52.
:20:52. > :20:56.Scolari turns away in disgust in front of us. I just wonder if he
:20:56. > :21:01.will be less happy with this performance than against Japan - I
:21:02. > :21:06.think he will. Four more minutes to go, they could make it easier on
:21:06. > :21:12.themselves with their coach, Brazil, by getting another goal.
:21:12. > :21:22.Let's not forget they are in the box seat with another three points.
:21:22. > :21:33.
:21:33. > :21:38.Neymar is the man who was won them Mark? They are not beaten just yet,
:21:38. > :21:48.but they don't seem to have really charged at this. The last 20
:21:48. > :22:15.
:22:15. > :22:21.minutes, they might have thrown not the right idea. No. The other
:22:21. > :22:25.thing, a picture of Neymar, as we see his goals... In the first half,
:22:25. > :22:35.he offered some protection to Marcelo, but in the second half
:22:35. > :22:35.
:22:35. > :23:43.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 47 seconds
:23:43. > :23:53.the morning, he will still be the the wind to be sealed. Neymar scores
:23:53. > :23:54.
:23:54. > :23:58.one, Neymar makes one. Brazil 2, Mexico 0. The thing about it, it
:23:58. > :24:07.looked impossible for him to go through the gap, you thought, where
:24:07. > :24:11.does he go here?! Just look! Wait, wait... Right-to-left. And then
:24:11. > :24:21.really clever, because right at the end, I think he thought about
:24:21. > :24:29.
:24:29. > :24:33.Jo. -- change of feet, improvisation. Jo must think it is
:24:33. > :24:38.Christmas. In the international wilderness for five years, brought
:24:38. > :24:43.into the squad because of injuries, he comes on against Japan and scores
:24:43. > :24:48.his first goal for Brazil, teed up by Oscar, and then a few days later
:24:48. > :24:56.Neymar put it on a plate to make its two in two. I just hope that, you
:24:56. > :25:02.know, a good first ten minutes and a good last two minutes, Brazil
:25:02. > :25:08.defensively and generally have been a little bit ordinary. A side better
:25:08. > :25:13.than Mexico... Would have taken advantage. But not tonight, it is
:25:13. > :25:23.two out up to four Big Phil's Brazil, Neymar is the superstar.
:25:23. > :25:25.
:25:25. > :25:29.maximum of six points from their opening games, only a Japanese win
:25:29. > :25:36.against Italy later tonight could deny Brazil reaching the semifinals
:25:36. > :25:40.with one game to spare. Well, it looked at one stage like we were
:25:40. > :25:44.going to have to pick apart Marcelo's defending, such was the
:25:44. > :25:50.paucity of stuff in the second half, but then Neymar produced a bit of
:25:50. > :25:56.magic. Thank Lee! He was quiet for a large part of the second half, as he
:25:56. > :26:01.was in most of the first half. This is what Barcelona paid top money
:26:01. > :26:05.for. It is not just the fact that he shifts from right-to-left, it is the
:26:05. > :26:10.speed at which he did it, such a tiny gap, no margin for error, then
:26:10. > :26:16.having the composure to see the team-mate, the unselfish, and it is
:26:16. > :26:20.not an easy finish from Jo. The pass is as good as this kill. It is,
:26:20. > :26:24.right at the top of the programme we talked about Neymar, the things we
:26:24. > :26:30.said about him, he does thing in every game that no other player is
:26:30. > :26:35.doing. He's not a scraped a player as Messi, but he has got at least as
:26:35. > :26:41.much skill, it is a different thing. But he is not as great. He made a
:26:41. > :26:47.per nominal goal at the end, he scored one in the first game, and
:26:47. > :26:51.even this one, on his left foot, he does not panic, but sits down. He
:26:51. > :26:59.keeps his head over the ball, technique is perfect. He got going
:26:59. > :27:05.to do it for 90 minutes every single game. Nobody can.The expectation is
:27:05. > :27:11.that high, do not compare him with Messi, nobody compares with Messi.
:27:11. > :27:14.He is 22 years of age, 21, he scored 22 international goals, that is
:27:14. > :27:20.special. Thank you to both of you for tonight. Not a great deal of
:27:20. > :27:25.time at the end, but seeing that Jo goal was well worth it. That is it
