With its current football, Brazil neither wins nor enchants, and its fans, in the midst of the Copa América, respond with criticism and anger.
After La Canarinha’s disappointing debut in the continental competition held in the United States, in which Costa Rica drew 0-0, the fans who attended SoFi Stadium in California, United States, last Monday, with the hope of seeing the team managed by Dorival Júnior score a goal, could not bear the bad present of their team any longer, and with whistles and insults they sent them off the field, something unusual for a team that has been successful throughout its history and is the only one with five world titles.
Faced with constant booing from the crowd, defender Danilo Luiz da Silva, who also plays for Juventus in Italy, could not hold back and lashed out at the spectators.
“Nobody is joking, nobody here is joking around,” Danilo replied to one of the fans in the stands.
The situation was becoming so tense that Neymar, who missed the tournament due to injury but is accompanying his team, intervened to calm things down, taking his teammate to the locker room.
After that game, Dorival said in a press conference that they are looking for ways and solutions to improve their game. “Our work is always in that direction, so that we can improve at every moment. I think that is happening, but it is normal that if the result is not good, questions arise,” said the coach.
The disappointment is all the greater because Brazil is on the verge of the play-offs in the South American qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup. However, men like Rodrygo and Vinicius, stars with Real Madrid in the Champions League title, have yet to impose their talent with the national team.
Canarinha, which is part of Group D led by Colombia with three points, is under pressure to achieve its tenth Copa América title. This Friday, against Paraguay, they hope to get their first three points in the championship.
