He did open up space for Paulinho to run into by dragging his defender with him Honestly that was pretty amateurish from the Serbian defense.
What happened to Serbia in this game? I expected much more from them, many picked them to upset Brazil. Classic choke job?
Classic overestimation of their strength. This one guy in the WC forum talked for months about how Serbia could easily beat Brazil in that final game. Now he said some players are too young, some are old ... My observation from Switzerland x Serbia game is that the Swiss were a better team and that Serbia faded badly in the 2nd half. I think it was important to not concede early and to not go down in the scoreboard because they wouldn't be a threat later in the 2nd half.
Brazil played like a club side against Serbia... something you rarely see at a World Cup... (includes link to one of my favorite bits of video, showing the past wasn’t always better) https://t.co/EDbZ3OT3ve— Gabriele Marcotti (@Marcotti) June 28, 2018
I've watched the game again. I still wasn't happy with some of the sloppy passing. Fagner was pretty good. He has an explosive first step with the ball. But against a tall forward line, I'd have to put Danilo back in if he is healthy.
