On October 13, Brazilian media published a summary of the list of players of the Brazilian national team who have worn the No. 9 shirt since 2006. You know, numbers like No. 9 and No. 10 mean too much, too much in the five-star legendary team, and are the key to their dignity and green status. Unfortunately, the rumor that "there will be no more No. 9 after Ronaldo" is still correct.
The reason why it started in 2009 is precisely because this is Ronaldo's last time wearing the number 9 shirt. Unfortunately, the four top stars (Da Luo, Xiao Luo, Kaka and Adriano) were unable to lead the team to break through, and they fell on the threshold of the semi-finals and were unable to charge towards victory. Since then, Ronaldo's form has declined too quickly and he has been forced to retire, and Brazil's achievements have indeed never lifted.
After Ronaldo in this list, 15 players have worn the number 9 shirt. They are Lovie (LOVE), Nilma, Adriano, Fabinho (La Liga), Pato (Milan), Fred, Tardelli (Shandong), Oliveira, Jonas, Sousa (Chinese Super League), Jesus (Premier League), Henrik, Cunha (La Liga), Gabriel (Baja), Richarlison.
Don't say the achievements, even if you read it from the name, it is estimated that many non-"full-time green fans" will stumble. After all, some team members are indeed too "unknown". In addition to Adriano, Pato, and Jesus, who can barely be counted as hopeful, the rest is really embarrassing. In terms of fame, ability, and resume, it really can't be linked to Brazil No. 9.
In fact, you can't "rely on" that these team members don't want to upgrade, they may have a lot of actual abilities here, and it is definitely not right to pull out seedlings and help them grow. Again, the problem lies with Brazil itself. In addition to the 9th, the same is true for the 10th. After Kaka, the "last earthling", retired and handed over the number 10 shirt to Neymar, he is still the key to this team, and no one can replace him. Isn't it the same problem that no one has the ability to replace?
The rapid development of European football, so that football, a performance sport, has a lot of laws to summarize and inventory, more and more professional model also with career development flourishing, slowly the green game is no longer just 90 minutes, 22 people kicking around, it is linked to all aspects of cultural economy and sports training, more and more advanced. Obviously, Brazil has fallen behind in this process, and most of their models still rely on genius to jump out and save the team.
This is especially true at the level of coaches and technical research. It is necessary to know that the blessing of advanced science and technology has made the development of Europe's green industry go on a rapid pace. Their data collection analysis and collation can help the players to find problems and solve problems in real time, which is an advantage that South American players are difficult to guarantee. Slowly, you will find that not only Brazil No. 9 is a big problem, it is difficult for Brazil and Argentina managers to compete with European managers, their understanding is still ten years ago!
Argentina actually encountered a similar problem, except that they were supported by the legendary Messi and won the trophy under his hard work. But looking at the talents who have come out of this way, there are many fewer than in the past, and the aging of the Argentine national team has also restricted them for a long time. It can be said that the gap between South American football and European football has been greatly drawn.
Therefore, the Brazilian Football Federation sees its own problems and especially wants to promote the global development model. They invited Carlo Ancelotti to coach, which was a "big deal". It's just that An Shuai may have "agreed" to their arrangement in the past, and it is unknown whether he will go later. If An Shuai can come to Brazil, then I believe that his transformation of the Green Kingdom is not only so little tactical arrangement, the new No. 9 will naturally appear slowly, and the development of Brazil's green cultural undertakings will also have a new upgrade.
