Brazilians invade the profile of a Japanese man who criticized the Brazilian team

"Fixed it for the head", said one of the comments on Kento Shiogai's Instagram page this Monday afternoon (29), after the Brazilian team's victory over Japan, in the last minute.

Last week, he went viral when he analyzed the confrontation between the teams in the round of 32 of the World Cup. For Shiogai, who is a reserve for Japan, Amarelinha would not be on the same level as favorite teams like France and Argentina, who were the last world champions.

After the match, won by Brazil in stoppage time, with a goal from Gabriel Martinelli, the Brazilians, who had already filled the athlete's publications with comments even before the match, took the opportunity to make fun of the player.

"You missed the opportunity to remain silent", says one of the comments. "Lower the ball," replies another. Many still ask Shiogai not to close comments on posts after the defeat. "Don't limit the comments! Sustain!".

It's up to Neymar
The striker also commented on Neymar, who has a good record against the Japanese team. The Brazilian star has already scored 9 goals in 5 games against the Asian team, being his biggest victim in matches between national teams.

For Japan's number 26, Neymar "is no longer the same as he was years ago". "That was the Neymar of old, wasn't it? I think we're okay with that now," Shiogai told reporters after training.

Next game
With the classification, the Seleção now knows who they can face in the round of 16 of the World Cup: Norway or Ivory Coast.

The teams enter the field for the second phase of the World Cup this Tuesday (30), at 2pm (Brasília time).
