President of Brazil attacks Canarinha players

The performance of the Brazil national team In these South American qualifiers, it is increasingly generating more concern in the country to the point that the president of the nation himself, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, was the most recent to give his opinion on the situation.

The president was quite controversial in his words when he assured that they should only call players who play in the local tournament taking into account that, in his opinion, “there are no Brazilian stars” playing in teams abroad.

Lula da Silva’s words came after the Canarinha’s difficult victory last Thursday against Chile (1-2) in Santiago thanks to a goal on the hour mark scored by Luiz Henrique, a Botafogo player like Igor Jesus. , who had scored the other goal for the Brazilians.

“Those who are outside are no better than those who are here”commented Lula da Silva in an interview after the match against the Chileans in a match in which the “Five-time Champion” of the world was very close to getting just one point that would have complicated the situation for Dorival Júnior’s team.

“In Brazil there are good players and of the same quality (as those who are outside), so give opportunities to those who are here”continued the Brazilian president, leaving a clear message for the coaching staff of the Amazonian team.

These words from Lula da Silva also come in the middle of a call from Brazil in which some important players such as Vinícius Júnior and Éder Militao, both from Real Madrid, are not due to injury, but Endrick, Rodrygo (also from the merengue team) and Raphinha from FC Barcelona.

The Brazilian National Team, which is still without its top star Neymar due to a serious knee injury, has not had the expected start in the qualifying rounds and after the first nine rounds played they are in fourth place in the standings.

With their agonizing victory against Chile, the Canarinha reached four wins with one draw and the surprising number of four defeats, accumulating 13 points, six less than the leaders of the table, the current world champion Argentina.

The Brazilian team’s next match will be this Tuesday against Peru at home, so there will surely be much more pressure to achieve a positive result that will allow them to continue climbing positions in the standings in addition to calming the tension around their performance.
