Live on January 28 – In a match in the South American zone of the World Preliminary Round, Brazil drew 1-1 away to Ecuador. Brazil goalkeeper Alisson was shown red cards twice in this game, but after undergoing a VAR replay, the red cards he received were cancelled.
After the game, Alisson said: "I want to make a very technically demanding save myself, which is something I have to do. Those two moments (being shown a red card) were shocking, but I was in control of the situation twice and the ball was easier for me to control than the opponent. ”
"Both times I went for the ball after the opponent passed the ball, and in these physical contact moments, when the player tries to control the ball and when he touches the ball is a factor to consider. I believe that the opponent is at risk of injury if I make such a decision, but I never think that I have made a mistake or that I do not need to do the technical action I made in both cases. ”
"It's true that it's not easy to control yourself in a game like today. Tite always asks us to be psychologically strong enough for the referee to make decisions on the pitch and for us to have confidence in what we do. But, on a mental level, today's game was really, really tough. ”
"I'm sure we would have done it if there was good reason to question the referee, and that's true today. In addition, the importance of VAR is also worth mentioning. A decision like that would change the course of the game. However, we still ended up conceding a goal, which was not what we wanted. They scored goals with set-pieces, but we can improve ourselves in that and it's a learning process. ”
"Today's result is not what we want, but for what happened on the pitch, we strive to be treated fairly. The quality of the pitch's turf made the game very difficult, but we can say that the adaptation was quite good. I feel that the draw is a fair outcome and neither team has created a moment where the outcome of the match can be considered unfair. ”
