Brazil midfielder Bernard believes that the 0-0 draw against Mexico in Tuesday night's FIFA World Cup™ Group A fixture was a good result despite a frustrating performance from the tournament hosts.
Mexico claimed a deserved point at Estádio Castelão in Fortaleza as Brazil failed to hit their straps and looked a pale imitation of the side that defeated Croatia 3-1 in the tournament opener. Mexico goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa was the star of the show with a series of good saves to keep the hosts out in a fantastic individual performance.
Shakhtar Donetsk winger Bernard revealed after the match that he thought the goalless draw, which left both sides on four points, was a good result for his side. "What we made clear in the locker room is that the important thing is to win and the second is not to lose," the 21-year-old told Brazilian newspaper O Globo. "We went into the game knowing that a draw would not be a bad result."
But Bernard felt that at times Brazil were not as confident on the ball as they could have been. "I think these are situations [of nervousness in exchanging passes] that happen sometimes. We have the ability to be more quiet with the ball. It has been like that in the (Conferations) Cup. We found the pass but lacked the finishing touch."
