In a recent Premier League talk, Arsenal drew 2-2 with arch-rivals Liverpool. In this game, Arsenal winger Martinelli shot and passed, and he was shocked. With 14 goals and four assists in the Premier League this season, Martinelli is an absolute contributor to Arsenal's top spot in the Premier League, and Martinelli is one of the best left wingers in the Premier League this season. But even so, Martinelli has a hard time playing in the Brazilian national team and is a fringe player in the Brazilian team.
The 21-year-old is worth 70 million euros after he was named to Brazil's squad for the World Cup. But Martinelli made only three appearances and one start in the World Cup, averaging 37 minutes per game. Arsenal fans have been upset about Martinelli's experience with the national team, believing that Martinelli deserves a more important status as a team.
But there is no shortage of people in the Brazilian left winger position, and Martinelli can't play as a starter, for a reason. Total price 340 million! The left winger of the Brazilian team is too luxurious, 4 superstars compete for the main force, and 2 parallel goods on the right side.
In addition to Martinelli, Brazil's left winger position is Neymar, who is Brazil's best player in the last 10 years. The 31-year-old Neymar, who is worth 70 million euros, has made 29 appearances in Paris this season, contributing 18 goals and 17 assists, which is a dominant performance. Vinicius has also been outstanding, making 44 appearances for Real Madrid this season, with 21 goals and 13 assists. The 22-year-old Vinicius is worth 120 million euros.
Due to the rise of Vinicius, the Brazilian team previously arranged the lineup with Neymar playing in the middle and Vinicius playing on the left. In fact, Neymar is also a big threat on the left flank. Vinicius' Real Madrid team-mate Rodrigo, 22, is also a left-winger who has made 43 appearances for Real Madrid this season, with 11 goals and nine assists and is worth 80 million euros. Due to the presence of Vinicius, Rodrigo still appears more often on the right wing at Real Madrid.
Compared to Brazil's top left winger position, their right flank is a bit hot. Rafinha and Anthony both played for the big clubs, but both were rejected by the home fans. The advantages of Rafinha and Anthony are inside shooting, active defense, a lot of shortcomings, speed, confrontation, reverse foot, etc., Rafinha and Anthony can not meet the requirements of the big team.
Due to the weakness of the right flank and other reasons, the Brazilian team did not perform well in the World Cup and did not qualify for the final four. If Brazil have one more top right winger, Brazil will be even more perfect with both wings flying together. Unfortunately, good right wingers are too scarce and seem to exist only in Argentina, Egypt and England.
