Lula da Silva criticized the country’s national team for failing performances in the international arena.
The Brazilian national team is not what it used to be. This is what President Lula da Silva said. The leader of the South American country laments the problems in local football.
In his opinion, Brazilian football can no longer be considered the best in the world.
“It’s unfortunate that we have a team that is considered the best in the world and we don’t have a coach. And we can’t put together a big team because we don’t have players of the quality that we had in 1970 when the team won the World Cup, we was played not only by men, but by men, starting with Pele, who was 30 years old.
Brazilian football failed. We no longer have the best football in the world. Today, we have become an exporting country for young footballers gaining experience abroad. I’m sorry that our team is not ready to participate in major tournaments,” the Brazilian President was quoted as saying by O Globo.
It will be remembered that in the last World Cup in Qatar, Brazil did not succeed in the quarterfinal stage, losing to Croatia.
It was previously known that a film would be made about the Brazilian player of Real Madrid.
