@SelecaoTalk It’s sad 😢 sad to see they’re letting our style of play fade away.

[Seleção Brasil 🇧🇷 @Brazil_TeamNews]

@SelecaoTalk Who would you say is the next promising Brazilian that can potentially be part of that long line of Brazilian tradition after Neymar?

[AllThingsBrazil™ @SelecaoTalk]

What we saw last night from minute 70 was a Brazil caught between two ideals, with no clear identity.

The logical end point of Brazilian football’s Europeanisation in direct contrast to the last player who still embodied what Brazilian football once was.

Neymar is the last true embodiment of Brazilian football.

A protagonist. Fearless. Inventive. Brave, Daring. Always demanding the ball. A master of small spaces, combinations, a connector. He doesn’t wait for the game to happen, he imposes himself on it & takes Brazil up the pitch.

He belongs to a long line of Brazilian tradition, Zizinho, Didi, Garrincha, Pelé,
Zico, Romário, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho:

Masters of ‘the approximation game’,

A football of proximity, mobility, never static, a game of relationships, one-two’s. Always arriving and never occupying. Futsal in small spaces.

Brazil has spent decades slowly drifting away from this. Towards a European model built around spacial occupation, distances and control.

Ancelotti for the past 12 months has built a Brazil side that is reactive not proactive. Pragmatic over expressive. Cautious over courageous. Cowardly.

A team content to concede initiative and take no risk, instead of imposing themselves on the game and opposition.

Ultimately Neymar was born in the wrong generation. The only Brazilian of his era who still represented the football Brazil once gave to the world, and they surrounded him with technical mediocrity and a team abandoning the very thing that made Brazilian football and Neymar, unique.

And this is how you put away your chances. We are a joke.

[Seleção Brasil 🇧🇷 @Brazil_TeamNews]

@FabrizioRomano You deserved a lot more. I’m sorry Neymar. Focus on God and your family now. Thank you for all the memories and joy. Football will never forget you. Thank you Neymar 🙏

🚨🚨 BREAKING: Neymar announces his RETIREMENT FROM INTERNATIONAL FOOTBALL. 👋🏼🇧🇷

“I tried. I tried. It started here at Met Life stadium and I finished here. It is now over”, Ney said after the game.

His story with the Brazilian national team is over.

[Seleção Brasil 🇧🇷 @Brazil_TeamNews]

I’m so sorry for Neymar 😭😭

Thank you Ney. Thank you. It’s all I can say 💔😢

[AllThingsBrazil™ @SelecaoTalk]

🚨🇧🇷 | NEYMAR JR:

“I tried. It started here at Met Life stadium and it finished here.

It is now over.”

[AllThingsBrazil™ @SelecaoTalk]

🇧🇷 | Tonight, Neymar Jr may have played his final ever game for Brazil.

It will be a very long time before Brazil’s yellow shirt is worn by someone this good again.

A genius, a maverick, an entertainer, one of the true greats. Appreciate him.

[Seleção Brasil 🇧🇷 @Brazil_TeamNews]

@geglobo Ancelotti out!!!!

[Seleção Brasil 🇧🇷 @Brazil_TeamNews]

Neymar was honestly born in the wrong generation! Carried Brazil by himself for YEARS!!!!

[Seleção Brasil 🇧🇷 @Brazil_TeamNews]

This is possibly the last time we ever see Neymar play for Brazil and that’s how they did him in the end. Benched him majority of the time. No respect for our best player. What a shame. #Ancelottiout

[Seleção Brasil 🇧🇷 @Brazil_TeamNews]

@CBF_Futebol Shut up!!!!!

[Seleção Brasil 🇧🇷 @Brazil_TeamNews]

Never got the respect you deserved! I’m sorry Neymar. Thank you for all the memories and joy you gave to us while wearing the Brazil jersey. 💛💚💙

[AllThingsBrazil™ @SelecaoTalk]

Ancelotti is a disgrace for not trusting Neymar earlier.

[Seleção Brasil 🇧🇷 @Brazil_TeamNews]

This team made so many mistakes since the group stages I was not impressed, we managed to squeeze our way through still and Ancelotti couldn’t see the errors and continued with the same side. This is a joke. We would have eventually been exposed sooner or later.

[Seleção Brasil 🇧🇷 @Brazil_TeamNews]

Ancelotti OUT NOW!!!!!!

[Seleção Brasil 🇧🇷 @Brazil_TeamNews]

First half we could have easily been up 3-0. This is stupid! Shame on Ancelotti!

[Seleção Brasil 🇧🇷 @Brazil_TeamNews]

Why did we waste soooo much chances in the first half only for them to come in the end and score 2 on us. This team is a waste.

[Seleção Brasil 🇧🇷 @Brazil_TeamNews]

Ancelotti need be sacked today

[Seleção Brasil 🇧🇷 @Brazil_TeamNews]

This is why you do not waste all those chances. SMH
