Verdeamarelha crisis: 16 Facts revealing Brazil's decline after cat incident

Brazil, 12 Sep.- After that episode of the feline that occurred at a press conference at the Qatar World Cup, the selection 'Verdeamarelha' does not raise its head.

Brazil's defeat to Paraguay for the eighth day by the Conmebol qualifiers confirms the darker moment that is remembered from the selection 'Verdeamarelha' in its history. Not even the pale 1-0 with which he beat Ecuador at home has covered the 'curse of the cat', that fact that took place at a press conference that Brazilians gave during the 2022 Qatar World Cup and in which a feline was mistreated by Vinicius Rodrigues, head of the press of the CBF, who accompanied Vinicius before the journalists.

That incident, which was repudiated by the way they moved the cat from the table, took some significance because the feline is considered a sacred animal for Islam, people who consider them clean animals so they have access to mosques without people throwing them out.

The 16 data that sink Brazil

Argentina leaves them out of JJ.OO for the first time in 20 years

Paraguay beats them for the first time in the last 16 years

Casual or not, it is precisely after that incident that the Brazilian National Team began its sports debacle until it takes it to this current period in which it no longer imposes fear within the field of play and all the selections play you without caring that those players wearing the 'Verdeamarelhas' shirt wear five stars in the shield.

The defeat against Paraguay, a country with which he has not lost for 16 years, certified the fourth defeat in the last five games for the Conmebol qualifiers, a statistical fact never happened until this moment.

Proof that Brazil no longer imposes fear is that the Guaraní team did not need to have the ball to bend it and the stunning 30% possession and only two shots to Allison's goal, one of them the goal, was enough to alleviate the constellation of stars such as Vinicius, Rodrygo, Endrick, Marquinhos, Lucas Moura... who had in front of him.
