The unprecedented defeat of the Brazilian National Team to Japan, in a friendly match played this Tuesday, generated a strong reaction on social media. After the 3-2 loss, after leading 2-0 on the scoreboard, fans expressed outrage and pointed out those responsible for the result.
Among the most criticized were Hugo Souza, Fabrício Bruno, Beraldo, Carlos Augusto Joelinton and Richarlison, mentioned in posts that mocked their performances.
“I barely woke up and my day is already over after watching Hugo Souza and Fabrício Bruno,” commented one fan. “Fabrício Bruno and Hugo Neneca are expendable. If Joelinton is a football player, then I’m the Dungeon Master,” added another user.
Many fans questioned the squad’s level and the experiments made by coach Carlo Ancelotti, stating that the team “is not ready to think about a sixth title” with this group.
“You can’t aim for a sixth title with Hugo Souza, Fabrício Bruno, Joelinton, and Richarlison in the squad,” confirmed another fan.
