00:18and Benícius Junior in attack.

00:20''I want to apologise to the fans, I know it's a difficult time, but we just want to

00:25improve,'' Benícius told Brazilian TV channel Globo.

00:29The 24-year-old winger has scored over 20 goals for Real in each of the last three

00:33seasons but has only five goals from 35 caps for Brazil and failed to score at the 2022

00:38World Cup.

00:39''I know my potential, what I can do for the national team,'' he added.

00:44''Of course, it's been a very complicated process because when you don't have confidence,

00:48you don't get goals.''

00:50The result leaves five-time world champions Brazil fifth in the qualifying table with

00:54only three wins from eight games.

00:57Winger Dorival Junior was appointed in January and is side-lost in the Copa America quarter-finals

01:02in the summer.

01:03''The coach is still figuring out the best way for us to play and that's reflected in

01:08the result,'' defender Marquinhos said speaking to Globo.

01:11''There are a lot of new players, we are lacking confidence.

01:16Qualifying isn't easy, it's a difficult time and we have to know how to manage it.

01:21It's a time of transition, we're not feeling confident.

01:24We're going to work hard, getting results on the pitch is the best answer.''
