Brazilian reporter Raisa Simplicio, who shared the video, said an American reporter later asked the Brazilian coach, known as Tite, about the cat . The coach lightheartedly suggested the journalist ask the adviser who took the cat, according to a translation.

The cat later appeared unharmed and was photographed chilling beside the team logo as Vincius Jnior continued to field questions.
