Bento in trouble? Taffarel on keeper's error before call-up
Current Brazil national team goalkeeping coach ClĂĄudio Taffarel commented on Bentoâs mistake for Al-Nassr this Tuesday (12).
In a brief exchange with ESPN this Wednesday (13), he said he had already contacted the player to talk about the play.
"It was a mistake, yes. I spoke with him, but he has already moved on," said Taffarel, a world champion in 1994 and also Brazilâs starting goalkeeper at the 1998 World Cup.
"Thatâs how a goalkeeper has to be. Thatâs what always took me to the national team: I made mistakes, admitted them, and knew where and why I had gone wrong... And then I turned the page. Thatâs part of the position, they have to be prepared," he added.
Bento made the mistake in the final seconds of the derby against Al-Hilal, scoring an own goal that prevented Al-Nassr from clinching the Saudi title early.
He came off his line to try to clear a throw-in into the penalty area, collided with a teammate, and ended up letting the ball slip away.
Watch the goal below in the match highlights:
Taffarel, however, preferred to downplay it when asked whether the play could weigh on the choice of call-ups for this yearâs World Cup.
If a mistake weighed that much, I donât think I would ever have gone to a World Cup. He has been having a good season there, with consistency, and we are following him closely
