Walter Casagrande, the former Brazilian international who came to represent Porto (season 1986/1987), made an analysis of the selection of his country and did not escape from criticism of Neymar.
“I have always said that Neymar in the national team, despite his personal records of goals and matches, was not decisive at all. Under Neymar, Brazil won the Confederations Cup only once, and the only America’s Cup they won here in Brazil, in 2019, And he didn’t even play,” he began by recalling in an article on globoesporte.com.
Neymar is having a bad moment, being executed in France and the rest of Europe. I still think she’s childish, spoiled, and unfocused. He was a standout player when he appeared at Santos, even when he was very young, with unforgettable games and goals. He was a great supporting player for Messi at Barcelona, his best moment in Europe. But when he chose to go to Paris Saint-Germain, it slowly ended. He had several injuries and she did not say that they had nothing to do with his social behavior. He lost the blast and the quick sprint,” the former striker continued, questioning the importance of the PSG player in the team led by Tite.
Having said this, Casagrande was commanding: “At the moment, I do not put the Brazilian national team among the favorites in the World Cup. For me, France, Germany and Belgium are better. “
