What is the reason for Brazil’s poor performance in this World Cup?
To summarize the reasons for Brazil’s failure:
1. Lack of creativity. As early as May, when Dunga confirmed Brazil's World Cup roster, he made it clear that what he needed was a midfielder who could score goals. But in the Brazilian team's roster, the eight midfielders are all defensive and uncreative; only Kaka is an offensive midfielder, which means that Kaka has no substitute, but Alves almost Playing in the midfield position in every game, Elano's injury left Kaka without a helper.
2. No control. The Brazilian team ended up with only 10 players on the field and ultimately lost the game. The Brazilian players showed a psychological imbalance. Even Robinho was about to quarrel with the Dutch players. Captain Lucio did not make a move to signal everyone to calm down. Kaká and Gi Silva, who had played in the World Cup before, also turned a blind eye to the Brazilian team's lack of calm. There is no Brazilian on the field who has the ability to guide other players, calm other players, or play the role of leadership core, like Dunga did back then.
3. The best defense in the world? When playing against other weak teams, the Brazilian team did show the advantage of their defense, but it didn't work when they really encountered a decisive game. Julio Cesar is said to be "the best goalkeeper in the world", but Felipe Melo helped the Dutch team score the first point with his cooperation; and for the second goal, Sneijder's 1.70 meter He's so tall that he can score a header without jumping up.
4. Merlot’s temper. No one can say that Felipe Melo's red card was unjust. He should know what impact his actions will have on the subsequent game. This is a crucial game! He lost his temper during the group match against Portugal and bumped into Pepe, who had violated him before, but he only received a yellow card that time. During the match against the Netherlands, and when Brazil was trailing 1:2, his kick on Robben got him a direct red card.
5, only half a card. Under normal circumstances, the player wearing the No. 10 jersey in a team must be the most critical player. Dunga put all his chips on Kaka. He firmly believed that Kaka was the protagonist of this World Cup; but Kaka never recovered from injuries during the preparation stage and never found his best form in the World Cup; although he ***Had three assists, but overall performance was disappointing. In addition to a shot being saved against the Netherlands, he also wasted 2 key opportunities.
6. Dungarism. Head coach Dunga went against the traditions of Brazilian football and elaborated on his own philosophy. He believes that position is the most important, criticizes individualism, abandons artistic football, advocates practicality, and only focuses on results. In this World Cup in South Africa, the Brazilian team rarely played beautiful football and failed to allow fans to see the final victory.
7. A team without moral support. Fan fanaticism and over-openness are believed to be the main reasons behind Brazil's failure at the 2006 World Cup in Germany. This time Dunga chose to close everything. The media became Dunga's enemy. Even the players' parents could not go to South Africa to watch the game, leaving the national team completely on an isolated island; they were in a parallel world without any points of intersection.
Alas! Brazil leaves its luck to 4 years later...
