Flamengo player criticises Rayan debut in Brazil v Haiti World Cup | OneFootball

How was Rayan, former Vasco player, in Brazil vs. Haiti?

Brazil’s 3-0 win over Haiti on Friday (19) marked Rayan’s debut at the 2026 World Cup. Despite the expectations surrounding the youngster, Jorginho, from Flamengo, said he missed a bolder approach from the forward.

— I felt Rayan was missing those runs into space. Even though that’s one of his traits, he seemed kind of... I don’t know, shy. I couldn’t understand why. It was clear that Brazil was hurting Haiti a lot with those attacks into space and that there were plays to be made -, he said, before concluding:

— He was always receiving the ball at his feet. He kept making the movement to receive it at his feet, when he could have broken the line behind the defense. He did the opposite, what we call a “cat”: pretending to go into space and then coming back to receive. He did that much more than the opposite, which would be pretending to come short and then attacking the space -, Jorginho concluded during a program on ‘SporTV’.

How did Rayan perform in Brazil vs. Haiti?

Despite starting the game against Haiti on the bench, Rayan came on in the first half, in the 40th minute. That was because Raphinha felt pain in his thigh and had to leave the field early. As a result, the No. 26 did not take a shot, completed 16 passes from 18 attempts, and had 28 touches.

Will Rayan start in Brazil’s next match?

Rayan is hopeful of getting a chance in the starting lineup for the Brazilian national team’s next match. That is because, after undergoing tests, Raphinha suffered a muscle injury to the back of his right thigh and will therefore miss Brazil’s game this Wednesday (24).

In addition, Luiz Henrique and Endrick are Carlo Ancelotti’s options for the right wing of the Brazilian national team. In other words, the Italian has two days of training to decide which player will take Raphinha’s spot.

What is Brazil’s next match?

Brazil will return to the field this Wednesday (24) to face Scotland in the third round of the World Cup group stage. The match kicks off at 7 p.m. (Brasília time) at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Brazil and Scotland through its website and social media. However, Globo (free-to-air TV), SporTV (pay TV), GE TV (YouTube), Cazé TV (YouTube), and SBT (free-to-air TV) will broadcast the Brazilian national team match.
