adminHosts Brazil lost 3-0 to the Netherlands in their final World Cup match on Saturday and their players apologised to fans after another hugely disappointing performance in the third-place match.
“I don’t think we deserved for it to end like this,” captain Thiago Silva said in a televised interview.“We need to apologise to the fans, they booed us at the end, which is normal, they have feelings too. It’s very tough.”
Midfielder Oscar looked totally deflated after the defeat, which came just four days after Brazil were crushed 7-1 by Germany in the semifinals.
“What can you say. We came here hoping to win third place but we didn’t, it wasn’t our day,” Oscar said. “We lost, there’s nothing to say. We lost a goal in two, three minutes and we were chasing the game.
“We are all very sad, the people are very sad, but we tried and we tried till the end.”- AP
