RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Brazil coach Tite hit out at the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) on Saturday, criticising the organisation and singling out the president just moments after Brazil lost in the final to Argentina.

Tite critised the pitches used in the tournament and said players were put at risk because the tournament was thrown together with just two weeks notice.

Brazil's far-right president Jair Bolsonaro stepped in and agreed to host all 28 games but planning was hurried and, Tite said, problematic for the teams and players involved. "I am talking specifically about the man responsible, Alejandro , who is the president of Conmebol," Tite added."I am talking about him, for organising the tournament in such a short space of time."The Brazilian players also criticised CONMEBOL on the eve of the opening match, saying the organisation was"inadequate".

The defeat was Brazil's first since a friendly loss in 2019 and their first competitive defeat since going down to Belgium in the 2018 World Cup.
