A poor goalless draw for Brazil against Costa Rica reveals what the former star, Ronaldinho, criticized so much.
A week before starting the Copa América, the former player and World Cup winner with Brazil expressed his discontent with his country’s team.
He said that “there is no star. All the players are average, for today.”
That was before starting the competition in the United States, without knowing for sure if, in truth, the performance of the canarinha would be disastrous.
The day arrived when Brazil debuted in the Copa América for the Group D duel against Costa Rica and it became evident that they are not having a good time in football.
The Real Madrid winger, called to be one of the leaders of the Brazilian team, did not have his night: He did not complete any dribbles, lost a total of 18 balls and was substituted in the 71st minute, when he gave Endrick his place in the eleven. The sensations, beyond the statistics, reflect that the 7 from the Canarinha he found himself uncomfortable, neutralized perfectly by Jeyland Mitchel, and unable to find solutions that would unblock the game. Even in mixed zone He complained about the state of the playing field and its dimensions (NFL fields adapted for the Copa América). Costa Rica’s plan went swimmingly.
The Ticos took advantage of every opportunity to defend their area and move the ball away.
Brazil suffered from an offside play that prevented a goal. But beyond the ineffectiveness of the Brazilian kickers.
Unlike Ronaldinho, who with few words caused more damage to the Brazilian team.
Brazil will have a new opportunity to recover their sensations on Saturday against Paraguay in their second Copa América match.
