Turning to the 2026 World Cup, Zico shared his thoughts on Brazil's elimination by Norway.
"It is always very sad, because we always hope that Brazil at least reaches the semi-finals. I think that Brazil did not play a bad game," he said.
He analyzed the tactical shortcomings, pointing out Norway's goalkeeper as one of the best on the field while Brazil lacked aggression.
"In my opinion, Brazil did not take the initiative. They let Norway play and did not exert pressure.
Norway gained more and more confidence to beat Brazil and ultimately win," Zico added.
