The young full-back claimed that he was threatened by the Pharaoh’s resurgence after going down but admitted that he was relieved at the final result.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brazil-c2858 looked likely to grab an easy three points against the Egyptians in their opening Olympics game and with Manchester United’s Rafael opening the score on 16 minutes; it looked to be the Selecao’s night.
Goals from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Egypt-c2890 came out with all guns blazing after the break.
Mohamed Abou-Trika and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mohamed-Salah-c26365 netted twice to send the fans into delirium and with momentum on their side; it seemed that they could secure a famous victory.
However, it was not to be as the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Canaries-c38723 held on for the win despite a nervy end. And Rafael, who scored the opener with an impeccable finish, reiterated that the opposition had been underestimated and the fact that they were able to get back into the game
worried him a great deal.
Speaking to reporters, the defender claimed that his side showed their attacking verve in the first half, but were equally exposed in the next 45 minutes, failing to contain the explosive Africans.
"In the first half we showed our quality. We played great football and created many chances. When they scored the first goal in the second half we jumped a little bit, but we got the result in the end."
He also claimed that the Games were quite important to the Brazilians and that he was quite pleased after netting his first goal for the country.
"To get my first goal in my first official game for Brazil is a dream. I’m so happy. It’s great to be here, because in Brazil the Olympics are very important. It’s the only title we don’t have, so we take it very seriously,” the starlet was quoted as saying.
Brazil are seen as favourites for London 2012 after naming a squad that sent raptures throughout the world. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Moura-c26908 are just some of the stars in their midst and if they get their act together, then stopping them will be an improbable
task indeed.
