The president of Brazil is crying out for a replacement in the national team, and hopes not to see great figures again.
The triumph of Brazil national team in front of his pair of Chile left the president very upset Luiz Inácio Lula da Silvawho is one of the biggest soccer fans in that nation. Of course, even though those directed by Dorival Junior they had Raphinhabut not so with Neymar y Vinícius Juniorperformance does not improve.
With or without stellar stars, the Canarinha cannot raise its head and is very far from the generations of footballers like Ronaldo, Romário, Coffee, Ronaldinho, Bebeto, Edmundo y Roberto Carlosto name some of those who were part of the famous Jogo Bonito. Despite the victory in trans-Andean lands, the team’s performance is not the best.
They are far from the first places in the qualification towards the 2026 World Cupbut they managed to stay six units behind the Argentine National Teamwho leads alone. And as a result of this, the Brazilian president was very clear when maintaining that the five-time world champion “At this moment it does not have so many stars among those who play abroad”but it didn’t stop there: “There is no Garrincha or Romario playing in clubs abroad, only young people who are not yet stars”held.
Lula wants Dorival Júnior to start calling up local players, who gave him the victory against Chile, since it was Igor Jesús and Luiz Henrique, who play in the ranks of Botafogo, who scored the goals. “In Brazil there are good players, of the same quality, and that is why we should give a chance to those who play in the country”said the man born in Caetés.
On the other hand, Ansa Brasil maintains that the 78-year-old president had a talk with Ednaldo Rodriguesthe president of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), to whom he proposed a project similar to that of the English rugby team, where there are only local athletes and not those who play abroad. If it comes to fruition, players like Neymar, Vinícius Junior, Raphinha, Marquinhos y Endrick they would be relegated.
