He said: “I am convinced that if Brazil defends well in the World Cup, we can win it.
“The games in March against France and Croatia won’t be a time for experimenting. I more or less know my squad already.
“Obviously, I’ll have some doubts until the last day, but the idea is that in March we’ll have more or less the final list.
“With Neymar, I think he needs to play more centrally, not as a winger, because wingers in today’s football are players you need to help defensively as well.
“When you play a little more centrally, the defensive work is much less than when you play as a winger.
“So I believe a false No.9 could be his ideal position.”
