It was not an easy watch for Brazilians on Tuesday evening, because the Selecao fell on a brutal 4-1 defeat by their neighbors and Argentina Argentina in Buenos Aires. Brazil had talked about their chances of winning, where Barcelona star Raphinha also told the press that Brazil would give Argentina a lot of beating on and next to the field.
After just four minutes, that idea fell apart, with Julian Alvarez opened the score for the Albiceleste and set the tone for a competition in which Brazil struggled to bring Argentina into trouble. Brazil seemed to have qualified for the draw and also tried to take the waste into play. However, as happened to the game, Brazil came in second place.
Real Madrid star Rodrygo proves so much because he was caught on the camera when he told as Roma and Argentina midfielder Leandro Paredes 'You are very bad'. Paredes, as emphasized by MD, had the perfect response and answered: “I have a world cup, two Copa Americas, you zero. You zero.”
Rodrygo was not the only one intended by the home team, with the home fans sang 'Raphinha' and mock his lack of involvement. During a scuffle, Nicolas Otamendi was also seen to tell him to 'speak more'. Brazil will have to work as much on their trash can as their defense before they go to future collisions.
While Brazil was silenced on the field, the sound increased dramatically. Manager Dorival Junior is now under serious pressure for his work, a year from the World Cup, with Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti back in the frame to take over, depending on how Los Blancos is doing this season. Brazil is fourth in the South American qualifying campaign, behind Uruguay and Ecuador, although their six-point benefit compared to Venezuela means that their place at the World Cup is not in danger.
