# Soccer: Coach Carlo Ancelotti said Brazil “mentally collapsed” in their 3-2 friendly defeat to Japan on Tuesday and warned they need to learn from their mistakes before the World Cup. Brazil threw away a two-goal lead as Japan came roaring back in the second half in Tokyo, with Ancelotti’s men helpless in the face of the home side’s pressure. A mistake in the Brazil defence for Japan’s first goal opened the floodgates, and Ancelotti said his players were not strong enough to turn it around.
