Brazil midfielder Fred spoke to FIFA about working with team's coach Tite:

“He’s a great coach. We all know how capable he is, I’m so honoured to have worked with him all this time and to have shared that experience with him. I have a lot of admiration for him, not just because he called me up – though I am grateful to him for having spotted me (laughs) – but because of the type of coach he is.

“The most important thing I’ve learned from him has to do with his human touch, the kind of person he is. He’s a lovely guy who treats everyone the same way, from the keeper to the kitman. He’s really attentive. Above all, he’s someone we love to have around because of the joy that is in him.”
