Now that's what I'm talking about Free flowing Samba football. The changes in the line-up were great. I was ecstatic to see Robinho in there instead of that useless crap Adriano.
In my opinion, Robinho was the player of the match. He works much better with (this slower) Ronaldo than Adriano, and created so many opportunities with his dribble every time he touched the ball. Absolutely incredible performance by the kid. Plus, he's unselfish as hell (which could be bad sometimes, but still). That play towards the end, where he deeks 3 players, gets into the box, and then looks for Ronaldo and passes instead of shooting was a great example of his character. Too bad Ronaldo was late getting there, although he eventually got his 14th. Still a very unselfish display by him. I pray to God that Adriano stays as a sub, although I know that won't happen.
Anyway, Ronaldo could have scored 4, but settled for 2, which removes a huge monkey off his back.
Ronaldinho played much better than his previous two games and made some brilliant passes at times, but I believe he can still play much better. He seemed at times a little tired on the pitch, but still, a good display by him.
Juninho was fantastic, both as a distributor and a shooter. I hope he sees some more action in the later rounds.
Anyway, Brazil is back
