Qatar 2022: Jurgen Klinsmann names who caused Brazil’s 4-2 penalty defeat to Croatia

Published on December 10, 2022 at 01:19 AM

Former Germany coach, Jurgen Klinsmann, has accused Brazil manager Tite of making a basic error.

According to him, the coach made a mistake in their penalty shootout defeat by saving Neymar for his side’s final spot kick.

Neymar scored a sensational individual goal at the end of the first period of extra time to put Brazil in front but Bruno Petkovic equalised for the Europeans just three minutes from full-time.

Nikola Vlasic, Luka Modric, Lovro Majer and Mislav Orsic all scored from the spot for Croatia but Marquinhos’ effort came off the post.

Croatia won the 4-2 in the shootout to progress to the semifinals. Why Brazil has to wait till next four years.

Klinsmann told the BBC that different managers adopt totally different approaches to taking spot kicks.

He noted that while some managers would want their best takers to go first, some others will save them for the difficult moments.

But for Klinsmann, it is best for the best penalty takers to take first which has been the case in recent years.

“Set the tone, don’t keep them for the fifth basically because you might not get the chance to kick,”; he added.

“Nemyar would have been the first one for me. Just set the tone, score the first one and calm everyone else down.”;
