Casemiro reveals Tite support

Published on: 06 July 2019

Midfielder Casemiro has revealed his backing for Brazil coach Tite ahead of Sunday's Copa America final against Peru at the Maracana in Rio de Janeiro.

There had been speculation that the 58-year-old could be departing the role after three years in charge, having taken over from Dunga who was axed following the Selecao's poor display at the Copa America Centenario in 2016.

He has won a lot of national and international titles, and he is a victor.

Tite guided Brazil to the quarter-finals of last summer's World Cup in Russia and then penned a new five-year deal.

And, he is on the verge of leading the nation to a ninth Copa America crown if they can overcome a Peru side they have already defeated 5-0 in the group stages.

The Brazilian Football Confederation has already released a statement of support for Tite and Casemiro is in no doubt that he is the man to continue leading the team.

"He has won a lot of national and international titles, and he is a victor," the Real Madrid star told reporters.

"He's a coach who has been in the position for three years and has (won) more than 80 per cent.

"Tite is in our heads to be mentally strong, not to destabilise (us).

"He has a great success in this, to make the team concentrate and not to fall in the trap of the opponents, to let them provoke us, so people do not fall for it."

Brazil, who are without injured key duo Neymar and Willian, are 3/10 to win in 90 minutes, while Peru are priced at 10/1 and the draw is 4/1.
