Before the Copa América, there could be problems between the Brazil national team? Brazilian legend Ronaldinho spoke out, calling this team “one of the worst [Brazillian] teams in recent history” in a statement on Instagram. On the one hand, this could be taken as motivation for a team that has been struggling recently to regain the Copa América title from rivals ArgentinaIf not, these are some blunt words.
“That’s it guys, that’s enough. This is a sad moment for those who love Brazilian football. It’s increasingly difficult to find the energy to watch the games. This is perhaps one of the worst teams in recent years, it has no respectable leaders, just players average for most. I’ve been following football since I was a child, long before I thought about being a player and I’ve never seen a situation as bad as this, and most important of all: football”, Ronaldinho said in a statement.
“I’ll say it again, our performance was one of the worst things I’ve ever seen. What a shame. That’s why I declare my resignation. I will not watch any CONMEBOL Copa América game or celebrate any victory.”
Considering that Ronaldinho I recently did a Nike ad with Vinícius JuniorThe timing of this is curious, but Brazil suffered a setback drawing a match they could have won against the United States due to the lack of finishing. Brazilian legends have used things like this to motivate the Seleção in the past, like Pelé chooses Colombia to win the 1994 World Cuptournament that Brazil ended up winning, but even if it is a motivating tactic, not all is well with the national team.
Girona back Yan Couto stated that the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) asked him to remove the pink from his hair during the team’s games. He mostly played with pink hair during the club season, but before the Copa América, it disappeared as he opted for a closer cut. “It was a request, basically. They said that pink is a bit ‘wobbly’ like that. I don’t think so, but I’ll respect it, right? They asked me, I’ll do it” Couto said in an interview with UOL.
There are reports that the CBF has already implemented guidelines so that players do not do things such as wearing flashy earrings and necklaces, using social media discreetly and being careful to convey an image of seriousness.
The CBF denied the existence of these guidelines releasing a statement.
“CBF reaffirms its commitment to freedom, plurality, the right to expression and the free construction of the personality of each individual who works for the entity or defends the Brazilian team. For the entity, employee performance speaks for itself. It’s good football and best management practices. Each employee or athlete must have autonomy over their own appearance, beliefs, sexual orientation and gender expression.”
The expression has been part of Brazilian football for a long time, even in the style of play, as the beautiful game was popularized by Pelé’s game, enchanting all those who saw him and the national team in action. Even if what Ronaldinho says are words of motivation, there are truths that the Seleção will need to combat if they want to win the Copa América.
