Tunisia held the five-time world champions in a friendly in Lille on Tuesday as they continue preparations for the Africa Cup of Nations.
Hazem Mastouri put Tunisia ahead in the 23rd minute before in-form 18-year-old winger Estevão levelled from the penalty spot shortly before halftime.
“Few details prevented us from defeating Brazil,” Trabelsi told BeIN Sports on Wednesday.
“I hope we keep the same mentality against all opponents, not only Brazil.”
Tunisia are drawn in Group C at the Africa Cup of Nations alongside Nigeria, Uganda and Tanzania.
