The seasoned tactician revealed his plan to extend his squad's rotation, aiming to balance performance while conserving the energy of his starters.
"We can't do many changes, we're trying to," De Brito expressed, emphasizing the importance of depth in a grueling tournament schedule.
With back-to-back games taxing the players, De Brito stressed the necessity of deploying fresh legs without compromising the team's competitive edge.
Drawing from his wealth of experience, the Brazilian mentor underscored the significance of bench strength in sustaining momentum throughout the tournament.
Confident in the capabilities of his entire roster, De Brito affirmed, "They guys can be really, really good, have a good game again."
