The 2-0 victory of the Brazilian team over Serbia, in the team’s debut in group G of the World Cup, this Thursday (24th), was praised by the foreign press.
Neymar, who was injured, also stood out, as did Richarlison, who scored both goals.
“Brazil as Brazil” was the headline of Argentine Olé, highlighting that the Brazilian team won with “authority and good football”. He also reported the departure of Neymar, injured.
The Italian Gazzetta Dello Sport praised the team, stating on its website that “Brazil is already scary”.
“The Brazilian fans outside the stadium may be fake —many were from the Middle East—, but talent on the field is of protected origin, like wine. Lusail sends a message to the world: Tite’s Brazil is entitled to be favorites for the World Cup”, wrote the Italian newspaper.
The Englishman The Sun, more sensationalist, called the Brazilian victory questioning whether Neymar would stay out of the Cup after leaving the field crying because of an injury to his right ankle. It also highlighted Richarlison, who plays for Tottenham.
The Guardian, also from England, called Richarlison’s second goal “splendid”.
L’Equipe, from France, where Neymar plays, also highlighted the PSG striker’s injury: “Brazil won, but worried about Neymar”.
About the game, he says that the score wasn’t higher only because of interventions by goalkeeper Milinkovic.
Already Marca, from Spain, filled the ball from Richarlison. He pointed out the striker’s second goal as “a barbarity that goes straight to the museum of the best goals in the history of the World Cups”.
The Spaniards also classified the Brazilian team’s match as “a solid performance, seasoned with moments of brilliance that are its trademark”.
