Bruno Guimaraes, a fan favourite at Newcastle United, and his Brazilian teammates have come under fire from a football icon.
Brazil is in the United States for the CONMEBAL Copa America, which they are frequently expected to win, but after a disappointing 1-1 tie with the host nation in the final warm-up game before the event, confidence is low.
Indeed, Brazil has been underwhelming, especially by their lofty standards, for some time, and Ronaldinho appears to have had enough.
In a weird outburst shared by Ben Jacobs on social media, Ronaldinho stated that if Brazil wins the Copa America, he will neither watch it or participate in the festivities.
Taking aim at the players’ lack of passion, Ronaldinho calls out the side for having no leaders or great players.
“That’s it guys, I will not watch any Brazil game at the Copa América nor celebrate any victory.
“I’ve had enough. It’s a sad moment for those who love Brazilian football. It’s hard now to find the spirit to watch the games.
“It’s one of the worst teams in the recent years, no respectable leaders, only average players for the majority.
“I’ve never seen a situation as bad as this. Lack of love for Brazil shirt and lack of football.
“Our performance has been one of the worst things I’ve ever seen, it’s such a shame.
“I therefore declare my resignation. I will not watch any CONMEBAL Copa America game, nor celebrate any victory.”
First of all, no one asked. Second, don’t you dare talk about Bruno Guimaraes in that manner, and third, this is what you get for leaving Joelinton in England.
In all seriousness, you can understand where he’s coming from. Brazil is meant to be the greatest of the best; since the 1970s, they’ve been one of the most creative, expressive, and thrilling teams to watch, with more than one superstar on the roster at all times.
Now we have Neymar, who has all the talent in the world but none of the conviction, Bruno Guimaraes, who, as much as we love him, struggles when people around him abandon him, and that’s about it. When they’re rocking players from Wolverhampton Wanderers and their star forward is chuffing Richarlison, things is really wrong.
