Romário teases Fernanda Gentil live: "He doesn't understand much about football"

The Brazilian team's 1-1 draw with Morocco, this Saturday (13), at the New Jersey Stadium, ended with a moment of discomfort live on the CazéTV broadcast. During the analysis of the match, former striker Romário countered a comment by journalist Fernanda Gentil and stated that she "doesn't understand much about football".

The discussion took place in the final moments of the broadcast. When commenting on the result of Brazil's debut at the 2026 World Cup, Fernanda questioned whether Romário did not consider the draw a kind of defeat, given the expectations surrounding the Seleção.

In response, the former player disagreed with the assessment and praised the performance of the Moroccan team.

"Fernanda, here's the thing, drawing in the first game of a World Cup, against a Moroccan team, anyone who doesn't know much about football, will have the same thought you have. And we are Brazilians, and the Moroccan team presented, in my opinion, better football, more technical, better positioned. And of course we have better players than Morocco", he said.

After the statement, Fernanda interrupted the analysis sequence and the transmission was directed to another point in the post-game. Presenter Beltrão took over leading the program by interviewing one of the Seleção's players. Minutes later, team members returned to normal coverage.
