Attacking players looked good on the whole tbh.Most of those on the pitch right now won't make it to the top top level.
They are teens and probably nervous with the circunstance. A good percentage of the best young talents always will be French and Brazilian.Most of those on the pitch right now won't make it to the top top level.
I definitely blame the French Coach Giuntini for yesterdays loss. After being 2-0 up and cruising to a victory, he gave Brazil the initiative by trying to hold onto the 2-0 lead and paid the price.French youth teams are so badly coached It's insane. Always losing in a pathetic fashion after smashing teams earlier in the tournament.
Last time I saw a good French youth team was 2016 u19 Euros and I'm not even sure if they were even properly coached of if Mbappe and Odsonne Édouard were just already too much for youth players to handle
According to Brazilian fan accounts on twitter he is. He's also been the best player for Brazil in the final tonight and possibly the player of the tournament.Is Veron the one who's meant to be a huge United fan?
I'll have to keep my eye out for him in the coming seasons then, haven't really had the chance to watch as much of this tournament as I'd have liked.According to Brazilian fan accounts on twitter he is.

Couto did get the assist and I've even spoke about his potential before in this thread and how highly I rate him as a talent. But it was Veron who was head and shoulders the best player in the first half and why Brazil overwhelmed Mexico at times and should've been a few goals up. One assist from Couto shouldn't negate the impact of Veron.I'd argue that Yan Couto was Brazil's best player in the final. Veron was a big threat, but he was too sloppy to be considered the best player. Yan Couto got the most important assist tonight anyways.
I'm not discounting his impact. However, I think his impact was reduced because of how sloppy the midfield battle was in the first half. Veron was a threat, but Yan Couto's composure kept Brazil secure at the back and allowed them to advance forward. In the second half, Veron grew into the game and had a bigger impact, but I was personally more impressed by Couto.Couto did get the assist and I've even spoke about his potential before in this thread and how highly I rate him as a talent.

That's fine, you're entitled to your opinion and I rate Couto highly as a young RB, but Veron was much better in the first half and if it wasn't for poor finishing, then the game would've been over in the first half.

Maybe my expectations were too high. I didn't keep track of the whole tournament, so I'll take the Brazilians' views over my own. Regardless, Brazil, once again, have several talented players coming up. Reiner, Talles Magno, Couto, and Veron are ones that I will certainly look out for.That's fine, you're entitled to your opinion and I rate Couto highly as a young RB, but Veron was much better in the first half and if it wasn't for poor finishing, then the game would've been over in the first half.

But I do agree that Couto looks a absolute world beater as fullback/wingback. I think there's gonna be alot of interest from European clubs in him very soon.Maybe my expectations were too high.

It doesn't help when the officiating goes in your favour twice under VAR review. The 2nd goal looked miles out.I definitely blame the French Coach Giuntini for yesterdays loss.
