Former Brazil legend Ronaldinho Gacho criticized the national team on Saturday, calling it one of the worst teams in recent memory for its lack of performances.
“Perhaps one of the worst teams in recent years is the lack of ‘reputable’ leaders and ‘mostly average players’.”
“That’s enough guys, I’ve had enough. This is a sad moment for everyone who likes Brazilian football. It’s hard to find the energy to watch the game. This is probably one of the most respected teams in recent years. The leader is mostly made up of mediocre players,” he said. which is 44 years old. The player posted on his Instagram page. The five-time World Cup winners are in uncharacteristic form, winning just one of their last eight international friendlies. Brazil’s last game was a 13-1 draw against the USA on June 13.
Brazil will play their Copa America opener in the US against Costa Rica on June 24, before facing Paraguay and Colombia in Group D.
The team is aiming to win a tenth Copa America title after 2023, with more victories (3) than defeats (3), something that has not happened since 1963.
Furthermore, the former Barcelona FC player said in a YouTube interview on Friday that Canarinha lacks “joy”, “grit”, “perseverance” and “everything”.
“I have been playing football since I was a child, even before I thought about becoming a player, I have never seen such a bad situation. Lack of love for form, lack of determination and most of all: football,” he wrote in Saturday.
The Ballon d’Or winner believes that Canrinha has put in his worst performance of all time and will not see the upcoming Copa America match.
“Today’s team performance is the “worst” I have ever seen.
“Shame. That’s why I finished. I won’t watch the Copa America match, I won’t celebrate the victory,” he said.
