Yes, Brazil is out. In the Quarter Finals, no less, adding embarrassment to recent World Cup campaigns. But the team did not perform badly. The stats who this. Let's take a look at who the best Brazilian players were using the FootballCoin stats to guide us.
- Neymar
He may take a lot of the blame for Brazil's departure, but Neymar really wasn't that bad.
He scored 153.86 points in FootballCoin, for the entire tournament. He created chances, passed well, even scored.
It wasn't enough, yes, and some of his actions were ridiculous, but the stats still show him to be the top Brazilian performer.
- Philippe Coutinho
He was involved in most of Brazil's goals. The Barcelona midfielder often took the responsibility with trying to provide the killer pass the forwards could go on to use. Coutinho has no proven his worth on the international stage and great things surely lie ahead.
Total number of points: 142
- Thiago Silva
A free player in FootballCoin and, really, the bedrock of Brazil's defense. Silva has proven to be a reliable leader and a top defender. As with all the players of the squad, expectations were just slightly higher, but Silva has shown why he has been considered one of the best defenders in the world in recent years.
Total points: 119
The biggest disappointment:
Gabriel Jesus
We have to cut Jesus some slack. It is after all his first World Cup. But the 21 year old really didn't seem to know what to make of his chances. The Manchester City striker was to play an important role in the team as the main striker. He failed to score a single goal and Brazil suffered because of the lack efficiency.
