Joy is Argentine.

A long time ago, the problems were not where they claim to be the happiest country on the continent.

Leo Messi is more perfect than ever (if now he even sings the hymn to the shouts) and

Neymar became a

chubby nice guy

.

At least that's what they say in Brazil.

From this side, despite being on the

Scaloneta

, respect for the Brazilian star is total.

But the same would not seem to be happening in his homeland. Not even the seven wins in a row in the Qualifiers give some calm to Tite's team, which is parading towards Qatar 2022: that it wins but does not convince,

that they see the 10 with several extra kilos

, that Richarlison spends his time

gasping

at the rivals on duty and that the DT does not make the changes well. Everything, of course, in the context of the recent Copa América final lost at the hands of the National Team and a few hours after a new South American classic.

In this climate it will be played this Sunday, this time by Qualifiers.

The first since the Maracanazo, in another duel that could keep open the wound that the classic rival has.

It is strange what is happening to them.

There is no

feeling

with Verdemarela or with its players

.

They do not spread like ours do.

Those of the Premier, with the backing of the Confederation, stayed in England due to the refusal of the competition to give them up while the Argentines took the first plane and did not care about the possible consequences.

Beyond the bureaucratic, they are details that end up tilting the balance.

After the 1-0 from Brazil to Chile in Santiago, the feeling was not one of joy to continue first and with an ideal score for the World Cup.

It is true that the Scratch did not shine, but it took a triumph with absences of weight such as Alisson, Éderson (Weverton, the third goalkeeper saved), Thiago Silva, Fred, Richarlison and Gabriel Jesus.

Criticism rained down on Neymar for some photos in which he is seen somewhat overweight.

Former players and journalists gave everything to the symbol of the team for their supposed poor physical condition.

On the 10th he responded via Instagram and fanned the fire more

.

"Do we play well?

No!

We won?

Yes!

Then fuck yourself.

Keep dancing.

We continue to make history, "he challenged in the same message that also said:" The shirt was G (large).

I am already at my weight.

For the next game I ask for an M (medium) ”.

Ney's game was not great but it was not a disaster either.

In fact, Brazil's goal came after a very good wall with Éverton Ribeiro. On the 10th he lost heads-up with Bravo but the Flamengo player got it on the rebound. For him, at least until before the goal, Tite was highly criticized. He got it started in the second half by Vinícius Junior.

Many were angry because they saw a Brazil with less intensity without the Real Madrid striker.

The weather is so hot that

even the historic Rivaldo got involved in the coach's decisions and asked for a vote of confidence for Gabigol.

“As for striker, the best is Gabigol.

The way he's been playing, the personality.

I wanted him with this national team personality.

In the same way that Renato (Gaúcho) gave him an opportunity, I would like Tite to give this vote of confidence to Gabigol.

The player needs this, ”said the former Barcelona, ​​putting pressure on the current coach of Brazil, who put him as a starter due to the absences of Gabriel Jesus and Firmino.

In these waters the Brazilians sail just hours away from playing against Argentina.

With a lot of torcedor against, they even seem to be swelling for the National Team.

Lance launched a survey where he compared Messi with Neymar and 87% thought that Leo is better.

Although it is obvious, because it is a Brazilian medium, it is a very high percentage against the maximum icon that the neighboring country has.

"Neymar had a chance, I gave him a good pass, but the ball came back to me and I finished very well.

I'm very happy.

Achieving seven victories is a milestone in history.

Let the eighth come ... ”, asked Ribeiro.

The weak party of Neymar

Yes, the Verdeamarela won, but it was not thanks to her Ten.

Brazil's hero was

Éverton Ribeiro

, who celebrated the only goal of the night.

The star of the Parisian club did not have his best night: in 90 'he had just one shot on goal and two more deflected.

He also missed 22% of his passes and lost 28 balls.

The waterfall of criticism

The tight victory, added to the controversies over Neymar's physique, provoked a large number of negative comments against him.

"It is the first time that I see Neymar fat and with such a swollen face," shot

The other one who joined was the

former

Corinthians

Neto

, who although he assured that the PSG player is an out of series, ended up acknowledging that he was seen in poor physical condition

.

"He is a phenomenon

, I have no doubt about that," he started at Band Sports.

"But, Neymar, how come you are not fat?

You're a monster, but you're fat, you're out of shape, ”he shot.

Walter Casagrande was

not left out and also made note of his disagreement with the Ten.

The former player wrote a column in Globo and nothing was saved: “Neymar is clearly out of shape, he is slow and has lost almost all the plays he tried to make.

In my opinion,

Tite should have taken Neymar out of the game

.

It was a qualifier for the World Cup, not a football with friends after a barbecue ”.

In France they also hit him

From Paris they are attentive to the performance of the PSG star, and there they do not forgive him either.

On French TV they compared him to

Ronaldinho

, but not because of his magic and quality with the ball.

But on the side of the party and various distractions that hurt him throughout his career.

"I am afraid that

Ronaldinhotice

, because of his lifestyle and his way of being professional," they shot in a sports program on Canal +.
