Não deixe a vitória histórica do Brasil fazer você esquecer que não deram pênalti na cotovelada do japonês no Martinelli, que inclusive marcou ele
Mas quando a gente fala que tem seleções favorecidas e outras prejudicadas falam que não…
🚨José Mourinho on Matheus Cunha confronting Kento Shiogai after Brazil knocked Japan out of the FIFA World Cup:
🗣️ “If Matheus Cunha really said, 'Five World Cups... you're small,' then I understand it. This is knockout football. Emotions are at their highest, and when you speak before the game, you must be prepared for whatever comes after the final whistle.”
“Shiogai's comments gave Brazil extra motivation. Sometimes players create a challenge for their opponents without even realising it. At this level, every word can become fuel.”
“I have great respect for Japan because they played with courage and discipline, but football is about accepting the consequences. If you are confident enough to make bold statements before the match, you must also be strong enough to accept the reaction when you lose.”
“This is the World Cup. It is decided on the pitch, not in press conferences. In the end, only the result remains.”
Zlatan Ibrahimović on Brazil qualifying for the FIFA World Cup Round of 16 after defeating Japan:
🗣️ “Everyone buried Brazil too early. Everyone questioned them, doubted them and said the magic was gone. But when the pressure reached its highest point, Brazil reminded the world why five stars are stitched onto that shirt.”
“Japan were magnificent. They fought with courage, discipline and unbelievable belief. They pushed Brazil to the absolute limit, but football is ruthless. One moment of hesitation, one decisive attack, and Brazil showed the difference between dreaming of history and creating it.”
“People will say Brazil struggled. I say champions are supposed to suffer. If winning was easy, every nation would have five World Cups. Great teams don't always dominate they survive, they fight and they finish the job.”
“Gabriel Martinelli didn't just score a goal he carried the hopes of an entire nation on his shoulders. That's the responsibility of wearing the Brazil shirt, and he embraced it when millions were watching.”
“To Japan, hold your heads high because you've earned the respect of the football world. But tonight belongs to Brazil. The giants have survived, the samba continues, and the rest of this World Cup has just been put on notice.”
🚨🎙️Ronaldo Nazário on Kento Shiogai’s Comments Ahead of Brazil vs Japan
🗣️“These comments from Japan’s Kento Shiogai — that Brazil used to be a powerhouse but now only France and Argentina are truly strong, and that he doesn’t hear much about us anymore — simply confirm what has become painfully obvious: the Brazilian national team is no longer the force the world once feared.
Brazil has won five World Cups, more than any other nation on earth. We were the standard. Every opponent respected us, studied us, and entered the pitch with doubt in their hearts. For a player from a country like Japan to speak so openly and without hesitation before facing us in a World Cup knockout match tells you everything about where we stand today.
The respect is gone. The aura has faded.
This is not mind games. This is a loud, clear call to action. Our players must treat these words as fuel, not as provocation. They must go out there and remind the entire world exactly what Brazilian football is capable of when it plays with belief, hunger, and identity.
That is the Brazil I want to see on the pitch today — the one that dominates, the one that makes opponents afraid again.”
Wayne Rooney on Matheus Cunha confronting Kento Shiogai after Brazil knocked Japan out of the FIFA World Cup:
🗣️ “If Matheus Cunha really looked at Shiogai and said, 'Five World Cups... you're small!', then that's the emotion of knockout football. When you talk before the game, you have to be ready for whatever comes after the final whistle.”
“Shiogai gave Brazil extra motivation with his comments, and football has a brutal way of answering confidence. Brazil stayed alive, Japan are going home, and now every word spoken before kick-off will be remembered.”
“I feel for the Japanese players because they fought with incredible heart, but these are the moments you have to accept. If you're brave enough to make headlines before the match, you must be brave enough to face the consequences when it doesn't go your way.”
“This is the World Cup. It rewards winners, remembers unforgettable moments, and never forgets the words that were spoken before the football began.”
Zinedine Zidane on Kento Shiogai's comments ahead of Brazil vs Japan in the FIFA World Cup Round of 32:
🗣️ “I read Kento Shiogai's comments, and for a young player who has achieved very little on the international stage, I think he has spoken far too soon. Respect in football is earned before it's demanded.”
“You can admire France, Argentina or any other nation, but dismissing Brazil before facing them is a dangerous mistake. Five World Cups are not history books collecting dust—they are the foundation of the biggest football nation the sport has ever known.”
“Football has a habit of humiliating players who believe headlines win matches. Talking before a World Cup knockout game only creates expectations that you now have to live up to for ninety minutes.”
“I've played against Brazil, coached against Brazil and watched generations of Brazilian footballers. One thing I know is this: the moment you believe Brazil are finished is usually the moment they remind the world exactly who they are.”
“If I were in the Brazilian dressing room, those comments would already be on every wall. Not because they need motivation, but because disrespect has a way of bringing the very best out of champions.”
“Kento is entitled to his opinion, but the World Cup is not won with interviews or confidence. It's won with personality when the pressure is at its highest, and that's where we'll discover whether his words carry any weight.”
“Respect your opponent, especially one that has given football some of the greatest players and greatest moments in history. Confidence is important, but arrogance has ended many World Cup dreams before they even had the chance to begin.”
“Tonight is his opportunity to prove every word he said. But if Brazil respond the way great football nations usually do after being doubted, those comments could become the biggest motivation they never knew they needed.”
