Gwangyang (SK), Aug. 29, GNA - Head coach of the Brazilian U-17 National team, Liuz Antonio Nizzo has told the media in Gwangyang, that Ghana was the best side at the ongoing competition in South Korea.

He said, "We did our best. We changed our strategies but we failed to progress even though the Starlets were down by one man in the first half".

"I would therefore not be surprised if they win the cup. We are defeated but we are not so worried because there must always be a winner after every 90 minutes and the best side was Ghana, there is no doubt about it." He said.

Coach Nizzo said, "Ghana is not a small country in soccer so if you loose to them you don't have to be worried. The same way if Ghana had lost to us they would not be worried because we are also a better side."

He wished the Starlets well and indicated that any time they should meet again it would be Brazil's turn to jubilate for victory.
