The Brazilian media has been extremely critical of a player who is a star in the Premier League after his performance in the devastating loss that his national team suffered to Argentina.
During their World Cup qualifying match on Wednesday, Argentina secured a famous victory over Brazil, which resulted in Brazil suffering a humiliating loss of 4-1.
Julian Alvarez scored the first goal of the game and then proceeded to make a vicious dig at Lionel Messi after the game was over.
Enzo Fernandez and Alexis Mac Allister, both veterans of the Premier League, also found their way onto the scoresheet, and Giuliano Simeone added a fourth goal in the second half of the match.
Matheus Cunha, who plays for Wolves, scored a goal for his team at the same time that Brazil fielded their own English-based stars.
Murillo, a defender for Nottingham Forest, made his debut for his country as a result of his stellar performance for Nottingham Forest this season.
In addition, Joelinton started the World Cup qualifying match after leading Newcastle United to victory over Liverpool in the Carabao Cup the previous day.
The Brazilian media criticised the Newcastle midfielder for his performance because he did not perform well in the middle of the pitch and did not impress them.
Globo Esporte did not pull any punches in their evaluation of the player, and they also made reference to his performance against Colombia on the previous Friday. He was taken out of the game because of his poor performance.
Joelinton received a score of three out of ten from Globo, which was the lowest score ever given to any player. Murillo and Guilherme Arana also received the same score.
The publication stated the following about Joelinton: “He had already performed poorly against Colombia, and he repeated the poor performance against Argentina.” His pursuit was sluggish because he was overloaded, and he was unable to reduce the amount of space that was available to the opposing midfielders. At 43 minutes, he prevented an opponent from launching a counterattack, and he ought to have been shown a yellow card for his actions. “An additional yellow card was removed from the game at halftime.”
The recent performances that Joelinton has presented while wearing a Brazil shirt have left a lot to be desired.
A total of seven international caps have been earned by the 28-year-old player, who made his debut on the international stage in June of 2023.
Since making the switch to playing in the middle of the pitch, Joelinton has shined for Newcastle. Throughout the course of this season, he has participated in 32 different competitions.
