"I didn't talk to Neymar, I only had contact with Coutinho, I did not see [him crying]. I can't evaluate it, but one thing I can tell you: the joy and pride of representing the Selecao is great," he said. "He has the responsibility, the joy, the pressure and the courage to express this feeling. I, for example, am an emotive guy, but each one has his own characteristics. I respect the characteristics of each player."Silva acknowledged that Brazil, having taken four points from their opening two games, will be under less pressure in their final Group E match against Serbia. But should the game go down to the wire, the Paris Saint-Germain defender said his team-mates have shown a never-say-die attitude. "The third game will be quieter," he said."When you win a game like this, as the lights are going down, this automatically gives you peace of mind for the next game because we played a great match today."The great merit of this team was not giving up at any time. We say: 'Let's go to the end'."</blockquote>
