In an interview with CNN SPORTS S/A. This Sunday (11), former midfielder Gilberto Silva, five times champion with the Brazilian team, conducted an analysis of the current situation of the national team. He highlighted the instability that surrounds the selection and compared the pressure of the current actors’ team with the 2002 team.
“It is clear that the pressure is very large, but it is not different from what we already lived on other occasions. For the 2002 World Cup, the national team passed many turmoil – there were four coaches in a full operation during the campaign. We stayed from 1970 to 1994-24 years – without winning the title.
For Gilberto Silva, the only way to restore greatness Brazilian It is through the performance and consistent results. What’s more, one has to be convinced on the field.
“Perhaps the sequence of bad results, and recent years, put the Brazilian team inside the World Cup. The only way to make it different is the performance, there is no other way. You have to do on the field, win the results, win and persuade. Sometimes, in Brazil it is not enough to win. Because from the moment you wear this shirt, the matter is different,” he said.
Lack of identity between the Brazilian fan and some The main athletes of the team He also approached Gilberto, who indicated the early exit of many players abroad as a factor that makes public contact with the team difficult.
He said: “I think it is more associated, perhaps, to identify the fans with these players, especially inside Brazil. Part of them came out very small here, and little played in their clubs here, and some of them are unknown to the Brazilian fans.”
However, the former player does not lose optimism. For him, Brazil has a lot of talents to reflect the difficult moment.
“I think we might change our perception, for example, as a Brazilian, as a fan, will never chant Brazil. I think we have to play our role, continue support, and I think we have the ability to reflect the game again. I think our problem is not quality. BrazilianHe concluded that we have players playing in the biggest alloys. “
Gilberto Silva concluded to seek patience and consistency in the work done. “I think we need to get a team that can have a series of results.”
