Defeat's slump: a virus has hit our team

After being eliminated from the "Copa America" tournament, Brazilian coach Dunga revealed that the team was hit by illnesses. In the quarterfinals, one of the championship favorites lost to Paraguay after a penalty shootout. "This is not an excuse, but 15 of my players were infected with a virus. Therefore, we had to limit the training process," said the strategist. "Footballers suffered from headaches and back pain, other symptoms appeared. Some of them were vomiting. During the match, Willian felt poorly during the long break, and Robinho suffered at the end of the game." "On the other hand, we neutralized the opponents' game plan and created good opportunities to score," Dunga said.
