Brazilian side Internacional dominated play for the majority of their Club World Cup semi-final against TP Mazembe, but they failed to convert one of the chances they got and were eventually beaten 2-0, much to the disappointment of young midfielder Giuliano.

"When you think about all the preparation we’ve put in then today’s defeat hurts even more. We prepared in the best possible way, and we couldn’t have been more focused or motivated," said Giuliano to fifa.com.

"We did everything as well as we possibly could. It’s awful to lose when you know that you could have gone much further. It’s hard to explain why we missed so many chances. It was just one of those days when we had shot after shot and the ball wouldn’t go in.

"Hats off to their keeper, though, who had a tremendous night. We did everything we possibly could; we were on top from the start and we played a great first half.

"We dominated possession and created the best chances but we just couldn’t score. That’s football, though, and the best team doesn’t always win."
