The Brazil national football team needs Raphinha on the field. The player is criticized by Edu Marangon, former midfielder of the Selection, to take more responsibility in the 2026 World Cup. Amidst the criticism of Raphinha's performance with the Brazilian national team jersey, Edu Marangon believes that the player still needs to show his value on the field. On the Gazeta Esportiva program, the former number 10 of the Amarelinha stated that the context experienced by the player at Barcelona is different from the one found in the team led by Carlo Ancelotti. Raphinha plays against teams like Alavés and Elche, which are far below Barcelona, and ends up having a greater participation in the club. But when he wears the Brazilian national team jersey, the context is different, and the responsibilities are different. Edu Marangon also admitted that he has not yet seen the outstanding performance expected from the attacker with the Brazilian national team jersey. I haven't seen a Raphinha game where I say: 'Wow, Raphinha is a great player, what a player he is'. I haven't had that opportunity yet. Finally, the former player emphasized that the performance on the field is the main factor in evaluating an athlete who plays for the Brazilian national team. Off the field, you can say what you want, even a parrot talks. The thing is to do it on the field. Edu's criticism comes days after Raphinha was targeted by criticism for his performance in the 1-1 draw between Brazil and Morocco, in the debut of the 2026 World Cup. After the match, the player's wife, Natalia Belloli, used social media to rebut personal attacks received by the couple and defend the player. Edu's opinion gains weight due to his history with the Brazilian national team jersey. Revealed by Portuguesa, Marangon accumulated calls between 1987 and 1990. The Brazilian national team returns to the field on Friday, when they face Haiti for the second round of Group C of the World Cup. After drawing in the debut, Ancelotti's team occupies the second position in the key, with one point won. The game against Haiti will be fundamental for the Brazilian national team, which needs a victory to get closer to the leadership of the group. With Raphinha on the field, the Selection can count on a player who can make a difference in the match. Moving on to the next round, the Brazilian national team needs a victory to stay alive in the competition. Ancelotti's team has all the potential to go far in the World Cup, but needs a more consistent performance from its players. So, the responsibility is everyone's, and Raphinha is no exception. He needs to assume his role and show his value on the field. But it's essential to remember that the Brazilian national team is a team that plays with passion and dedication, and always seeks victory. With Raphinha's help and that of the other players, the Selection can achieve its goals and make a great performance in the World Cup.
