The player revealed by Athletico was widely criticized by the fans after the game and, like the entire Brazilian defensive system, ended up having flaws in the clash, which represented his debut as the starter of the national team.

“It’s hard to evaluate when you take four goals. I think what I could do, I was able to do. The other goals, I think could hardly defend, were very fast throws,” said Bento, in the mixed zone, after the Brazilian setback.
