Brazil's sinner

Bruno faced criticism.

In the 52nd minute at Ajinomoto Stadium, Bruno was confused when being approached, then passed the ball straight to Takumi Minamino's feet in the Brazilian penalty area. The Japanese striker seized the opportunity to reduce the score to 1-2 for the home team.

In the 71st minute, Bruno (1.92 m tall) approached Ayase Ueda - who is only 1.82 m tall - but the Brazilian midfielder still lost the aerial battle, allowing his opponent to set the score at 3-2.

On social media, many harsh comments were directed at Bruno’s position. Fans demanded that he be removed from future tournaments, and also said that coach Carlo Ancelotti should review his selection of defensive personnel.

Some notable comments after the match aimed at Bruno included: "He's tall, how can he lose so easily?", "This type of defense is unacceptable in the Brazilian team", "Bruno is a weak point for opponents to exploit".

Previously, Bruno was highly appreciated by coach Ancelotti after his solid performance at Cruzeiro Club in the Brazilian National Championship. However, a mistake in the confrontation with Japan could cause Bruno to lose points seriously.

Obviously, coach Ancelotti must improve his defense if he does not want to be eliminated early in the 2026 World Cup.

The embarrassing defeat made Neymar cry. In the early morning of August 18, in the 20th round of the Brazilian National Championship, Santos suffered the biggest defeat in the club's history when they were crushed by Vasco da Gama with a score of 0-6 at Morumbis Stadium.
