Brazil is entering a football crisis

Argentina won (0-1) this Tuesday night in Brazil’s third defeat in a row, the first at home in the history of the qualifiers, and left them in crisis at the end of the sixth round.

The joy of the Albiceleste at the end of the match at the Maracana stadium was overshadowed by the demonstration of coach Lionel Scaloni, who left his duty on hold at the press conference.

He explained that the bar for Argentina’s achievements is set very high and that the players need a coach who has “all the energy possible”.

Scaloni’s statements are in contrast to the difficult situation in which the other colleagues are in the qualifications, but due to poor results: Fernando Diniz in Brazil, Juan Reynoso in Peru, interim Nicolás Córdova in Chile.

On the other hand, the double goal of Uruguayan Darwin Núñez this Tuesday catapulted him to the top of the scorers with 5. The striker born 24 years ago in Artigas looks down on compatriots Nicolás de la Cruz and Lionel Messi who have 3.

The seventh day will be played on September 5 with the following matches: Uruguay (13 points) – Paraguay (5), Bolivia (3) – Venezuela (9), Brazil (7) – Ecuador (8), Peru (2) – Colombia (12) ) and Argentina (15)-Chile (5).

For his part, Brazil interim coach Fernando Diniz considers Brazil’s 0-1 loss to Argentina at the Maracana this Tuesday in World Cup qualifiers unfair, given that Canarinha played better and had more chances to score.

“Brazil had more chances. Argentina had almost no chances. We were closer to victory and that’s why I thought the result was quite unfair,” Diniz said at the press conference he held after the defeat that plunged Brazil into crisis.

“The number of chances we had, but we didn’t finish them. We had more balls on the post, corners, free kicks, but unfortunately the ball didn’t go in,” added the coach, highlighting the alleged Brazilian dominance in the match.

Brazil, who have never lost three games in a row in qualifying and have never played at home, have dropped to sixth in the South American qualifying table with 7 points, eight points behind leaders Argentina.

Despite the fact that the team was booed by the Brazilian public at the Maracana and fans were calling for the coach’s head, Diniz insisted that Brazil had played one of their best games since taking charge at Canarinho.

“Against Bolivia we played very well, but given the rivalry and the fact that Argentina is the current world champion, if we consider all the variables, if it wasn’t Brazil’s best game so far, it was one of the best,” he said.

He assured that although he called up many new and young players for the Brazilian team who still need time to play as a team, his students showed a lot of collective building and great cohesion.
