Former Liverpool defender Lucas Leiva was not pleased with his compatriots' performance in the World Cup match against Morocco (1:1).

According to the expert, Carlo Ancelotti's trainees will have to try much harder in the future.

"Our players never took control of the midfield.

Casemiro kept running into problems, and that is why he was substituted before the second half.

In attack, the Brazilians looked completely harmless and didn't create the chances we expected.

Overall, the performance was weak,” concluded L. Leiva.
