"The United States has a unique way of starting the game, and on top of that, it has the style that they play for 90 minutes. That's why it's so good the chance to play against them because that's exactly what we need. We need to keep being challenged with these 1-on-1 situations, running at the back of the defense. Of course we are talking about these game situations and we have Debinha and Marta, they are used to these situations.
They will command this on the field, alerting their teammates and reminding them that we need to not only deal with this, but also, find a way to deal with emotions when we lose the ball. You have to connect with this situation and keep looking for a solution, a Brazilian way in the attack. It is a big test for us.
Everyone knows that this is our preparation for the World Cup, we are learning with every game and with these situations that we experience. One thing is when we create chances and we don't take them, we don't score goals.
We created chances against Canada, we have good moments in the game, but if we want to win we can't waste the chances. So, of course, each player knows where she can improve, we have time to work on it. When we meet before the World Cup, we will practice this kind of situation and they will improve. We will practice so that they get that feeling that they can do it".

Speak up, Andonovski!
"Obviously we knew it would be different. We knew we would face different challenges and there were moments in the game where we were exposed and we were forced to go in. But we made some changes and adjusted our system a little bit. The players had to adjust on the spot and I think it was a very good learning opportunity, a very good moment for us because we were able to solve problems.
The players are still in preseason mode. They are not prepared for three 90-minute games and that's why players like Alex or Mal are not finishing the games, otherwise I'm sure with the quality of players they are, they will play all the way.
In game three, the first thing we will do, we will see which players need to be managed from a minute point of view, hopefully no one for medical reasons. And then we'll start making decisions in terms of who's going to start and how much they're going to play."
