In an interview with Romário TV , Galvão Bueno once again expressed his dissatisfaction with the direction of the Brazilian National Team. The experienced commentator, who had already made criticisms on other occasions, focused this time on the profile of the players called up by Dorival Júnior, former coach of the National Team , especially in the midfield sector.

Apart from Gerson...all the other midfield players play in a small team..." - Galvão Bueno said

GERSON RECEIVES COMPLIMENTS

According to Galvão, the only midfielder on the current list who plays for a team with international importance is Gerson , a standout player for Flamengo. "Apart from Gerson, who plays for a big international club like Flamengo, all the other midfielders play for small or medium-sized teams," said the commentator.

CRITICISM OF BRUNO GUIMARÃES

During the conversation, Galvão stressed that he misses athletes with a history of recent great achievements. For him, there is a contrast in relation to the past, when Brazil was represented by players who shone in elite clubs in world football. One of the names mentioned was Bruno Guimarães, a midfielder for Newcastle. Despite recognizing the player's talent, Galvão pointed out that the English club, in his view, still does not have the necessary greatness to form the basis of a strong Brazilian team.

Galvão highlighted that, historically, Brazil has always relied on players from European giants or important national clubs. For him, the current reality is worrying and reveals a drop in the level of competitiveness of the players chosen. Without directly mentioning coach Dorival Júnior, Galvão made clear his discomfort with the choices made recently. The criticism extends to the coaching staff's difficulty in finding midfield players who bring experience in important decisions.

The narrator also drew attention to the fact that, in past World Cups, Brazil took to the World Cup players who were protagonists in clubs such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, Milan and Manchester United, something that today seems far from reality. By praising Gerson , Galvão not only recognized the strength of Mengão in the current scenario, but also reinforced the need for the team to seek players who are accustomed to great challenges. For him, experience in winning clubs is essential to form a competitive group.
