'I promise a goal next time'
Brazil superstar Neymar dazzled the crowd in Jeddah on Tuesday night with his tricks, flicks and passes and drew roars from the stands at will when he decided to turn on the flair. However, the largest roar of the night, which was reserved for his goal, never came.
Tite's permanent captain -- the experiment with the rotation of the armband is now over -- promised however that he would not disappoint again.
"You can rest assured that I will dedicate myself in the next game and I promise you a goal," Neymar told the Brazilian press after the game.
The 26-year-old added that it was a great feeling to lift his first piece of silverware as captain.
"I told the group that I wanted to win and I would play for it. When a trophy is at stake, we want to win. We give our lives for this shirt and want to win, no matter if it is friendly."
However, despite having lifted the trophy, Neymar warned that the team would only get better with experience.
“I won't say anything about today's game, but I think we could have done more in the first game [a 2-0 win over Saudi Arabia]. We need to learn. We will not always make a great start but we took all the positives and it was a learning experience."
