After the destruction off America's Cup on penalties in Paraguay, the Brazilian team has defended its performance.

According to reports in The Guardian, the leader of Mano Menezes pleaded with their countrymen to look at the bright side of defeat.

"It is important to stay calm after a loss and do not think it was all negative," said Menezes. "We improved after the start of the competition, and we will continue to work hard so we can get positive results in the future. "

"It's always disappointing when things do not go our way," said Menezes.

"We lost to a team that has not won a game and reached the semifinals. But that's football and we must learn to live with her not to jeopardize the work we've done up 'here.

"At the same time, we must understand what we do to improve from now."

He was not alone in trying to blame their poor performance in Argentina.

The Chelsea midfielder Ramires was angry over the defeat and said: "After the way we played today [Sunday], I've never seen a more unjust result in my career."
