Brazil 0-1 Argentina, full of sadness behind it, football kingdom, not even a good striker

A much-anticipated South American football derby turned into a South American mixed martial arts fight.

Before the World Preliminary Tournament between Brazil and Argentina began, the fans of both teams in the stands were already dry, and Brazilian security personnel rushed into the stadium brandishing batons, but the way they handled them was jaw-dropping. A number of Argentine fans were beaten with blood all over their faces, and a fan wearing Yi Jianlian's jersey was also involved.

Witnessing the beating of their own fans, the Argentine players on the sidelines were furious, and Big Martin had to climb over the railing several times to help, and Messi, who has always been good-natured, was also angry, so the game was postponed for half an hour.

Brazil vs. Argentina was supposed to be a samba step contest for Argentine tango, and in this moment of utilitarian football, fans around the world want to see a matchup of classical technical flow football.

As a result, the Maracanã, the temple of football, turned into a fighting arena, with tension between the two sides, a foul almost every two minutes, people falling to the ground constantly, and every player was furious, and in the end, Argentina gave Brazil three consecutive defeats thanks to Otamendi's goal, but no one paid attention to the outcome of the game.

In the whole game, the Brazilian team committed 26 fouls and received three yellow cards and one red card, which was jaw-dropping.

Playing Argentine players on the field, playing Argentine fans off the field, dignified five-star Brazil, when did it become "martial Brazil"?

Some say that the decline of the Brazilian team began with the absence of a striker. Once upon a time, Brazilian football was the cradle of top strikers, and there is no need to say much about the ancient gods such as Pele and Garrincha, the "Robey Combination" who won the World Cup in 94, the invincible Ronaldo, Rivaldo, and Ronaldinho in the 02 World Cup, and the "Dream Quartet" composed of Ronaldo, Ronaldo, Kaka, and Adriano in 06, all reflect the glory of the Samba football front.

With strong offensive firepower, in the past 12 years, the Brazilian team has won two World Cup championships and one World Cup runner-up. In Brazilian football at that time, there were too many excellent strikers, and the top scorers were active in all leagues in Europe and even in leagues around the world.

Since the retirement of Da Luo, Brazil's top striker suddenly broke off, and the Brazilian team's performance also declined, the South Africa World Cup stopped in the quarterfinals, and the local Brazil World Cup, although the genius Neymar led the team to the semifinals, but a 1-7 defeat made the team set on the pillar of shame in history. In the next two World Cups, the Brazilian team still couldn't reach the quarterfinals.

Now, with Neymar leaving Saudi Arabia, Brazil are no longer considered favourites to win the title.

Why did the Brazilian team become what it is today? Why can't the former football kingdom find a new Ronaldo?

To get straight to the point, Brazil's domestic economic problems are the basic reason for all this.

No money means not enough investment in football. Former Brazilian kids can hone their skills on beautiful Brazilian beaches or make a name for themselves in the slums. A lot of Brazil's genius has been tapped here.

But this is all based on the fact that many years ago, when the technology in other countries was generally rough, and now, the rules of the football world have changed, and young players are unlikely to succeed without scientific training methods, strong infrastructure, and professional data support. In this regard, the investment of the Brazilian team is far from enough,

Because of the lack of money, the Brazilian league is also losing a large number of talents, often a young person is just emerging and is poached by European and even Asian clubs, which directly leads to the continuous decline of the level of Brazil's local league. In the previous Toyota Cup, the Brazilian team could knock hard with the European champion, but after the name was changed to the Club World Cup, the league teams in Brazil and even South America have been on the same level as the top European teams. The Club World Cup has also become a chicken rib.

Many years ago, Brazil was good at technical skills and pleasing to play, thanks to excellent coaches and distinctive tactics, but since Zagallo, Scolari, Lazaroni and other old coaches faded out, Brazil's excellent coaches have also been cut off, not only can not cultivate top talents like Ronaldo, but the coaching philosophy is also outdated.

Coupled with the continuous loss of young and talented players, the level of the league continues to decline, and the technical style of the Brazilian team has gradually changed. In recent years, many Brazilian internationals have played in Europe since childhood, and their technical style has been completely Europeanized, with fierce scrambling, attaching importance to teamwork, and emphasizing overall advancement, response, and joint defense.

And the Brazilian team, composed of players with different styles, feels awkward, and has lost the soul of samba football in the past. Just like this game against Argentina, although the two sides played with resentment, the 26 fouls also reflected that the Brazilian team had no way to attack Argentina and could only use fouls to cover up their powerlessness.

From five-star Brazil to martial arts Brazil, the key to decline is two words: no money. Many people understand this truth, but it's useless to say it, it's really difficult to solve.

When will the football kingdom come out of the gloom?
