Chile's Bielsa praises Brazil, remains calm over future

Chile national team boss Marcelo Bielsa has heaped praise on Brazil after the World Cup favourites eliminated his side from the tournament.

Bielsa's men were brushed aside 3-0 by the might of Brazil and the Argentine tactician could only speak highly of Dunga's charges.

"The scoreline could have been less high but Brazil's superiority was too much for us, they took advantage of every crack we had in our defence," he said.

Bielsa also remained calm on his future in the position as Chile head coach.

"In terms of my own position, for the time being the situation is not right to evaluate what to do next," he added.
