It is common but superficial to say that defeats scratch the image of football teams and players. This type of badysis forgets something very important: the human factor. The way the professionals react after the failures as they behaved during the competition speaks volumes. Thus, it is possible that members of the same team leave a disappointing campaign with different images in front of the public.
Of course, I'm talking about the Brazilian national team. The elimination at the World Cup brought different clothes to the members of the Brazilian team. While a large part of the cast left without much scratching or improving the charisma of the campaign in Russia, both extremes were personalized by two players.
On the one hand, Neymar, with a high content of repulsion around the world and a crisis of the image that does not yet know the depth and it will be able to completely rebuild, such a repercussion negative of his exaggeration in the moments when he suffered the faults of the opponents.
At the other end is Thiago Silva. From the moment of "crying" at the 2014 World Cup, through unexplained penalties in the Seleção and PSG, both jumping out of hand, the defender questioned the ability to handle moments of pressure . In Russia, he had a safe and balanced performance, being perhaps the best Brazilian player of the competition.
The defender seemed to understand that he had a problem and was treating him. With or without professional help, Thiago turned around and even convinced those who questioned his appeal.
The question now is: how will Neymar and his team cope with the crisis in the image of the PSG striker? The first symptoms are not good at all. The 10 jersey ran out of press contact in Russia, his father had appointments with Globo to adapt to a lighter treatment of the station with his son (ridiculous attitude) and his team, worried about negativity related to his image,
Well, all attitudes are for the same purpose: to maintain the repulsion of the "ordinary" Brazilian to the player. People, historically, value nativity, honesty and guilty consent when one is really guilty. Neymar has done nothing until now. He follows with a ready speech, based on the artificial premises of "what to say" and "who to say", does not publicly badume his exaggeration in the reactions to the mistakes of the Cup and stands between the lines persecuted by the world in posts in social networks
Worse than a negative image, Neymar has become a laughingstock. Chacota among those who should most admire: the Brazilians. In a normal situation of exaggeration of the European press, the national football lover would fill in the comment boxes and answers of the gringos defending the shirt 10 of the Selection. But it is impossible to ignore the reason for the criticism.
At this point, the player prefers isolation. And your staff says amen. Without criticism, there is no growth. Without reflection, there is no evolution. In the bubble where he is, Neymar will stagnate as a person and as a player. To be at the top, you have to evolve. Now, much more as a man than as an athlete.
