I hate to be that guy, but I’ll have to be that guy: Diniz has a Libertadores final in less than 20 days, it could be the biggest title of his career and Fluminense’s history. How dedicated is he to the NT right now?
I mean, it’s not his fault, it’s CBF president for hiring him.
First loss to Uruguay friendly or competitive since July, 2001
First World Cup Qualifying loss since September, 2015
That’s genuinely one of the worst performances from Brazil, ever. 1 shot on target, and the entire team looked clueless.
Drop Marquinhos and Casemiro, play a midfield 3 of André, Guimarães, Paqueta to not get overrun, and play attackers based on performances for the Seleção, not for their clubs. Martinelli/Rodrygo should be ahead of Vinicius for the LW (who has been nothing short of abysmal), and Raphinha is the nailed on the starter for the RW.
Neymar continues to carry that attack, and now he’ll be out for months. That game against Argentina might be embarrassing if things don’t change.
Brazil don’t have a plan. They shouldn’t be building around Neymar. Historically, those Brazilian superstars don’t age well. They currently don’t have a consistent 9. It seems like Luis Fabiano was their last real 9.
Nunez is on fire
