Bruno Guimaraes, the captain of Newcastle United, scored for Brazil in a 3-0 victory over Chile in a World Cup qualifier.
Bruno Guimaraes has had a successful start to the new season in terms of scoring.
The midfielder scored in a 3-0 World Cup qualifier victory against Chile, following his goal in Newcastle’s 3-2 loss to Liverpool.
In his 36th cap, Guimaraes scored his second goal for his country. Brazil has already secured their spot in the upcoming World Cup.
Although his new Newcastle counterpart, Nick Woltemade, encountered difficulties against Germany, Guimaraes was a standout for Brazil, playing the entire 90 minutes in Rio.
Brazil was led by Chelsea winger Estevao, who scored the opening goal, and West Ham’s Lucas Paqueta, who made it 2-0. After a clever exchange with Guimaraes, Zenit St Petersburg’s Luiz Henrique believed he had made it 3-0 after coming off the bench. However, replays revealed that it was the Newcastle captain who turned the ball in on the line after it had fallen off the crossbar.
It was Guimaraes’ first goal for Brazil since netting in a 4-0 victory over Bolivia shortly after his arrival at Newcastle in 2022.
Although Guimaraes has been a consistent member of the Brazil squad for the past four years, the national media has frequently criticized the team for its lackluster performances at the 2022 World Cup and 2024 Copa America.
However, Guimaraes was the only individual to receive recognition this time around for his goal-scoring performance.
The media in Brazil has praised the “driving force.” Bruno Guimaraes
GloboEsporte, a prominent Brazilian outlet, has previously been critical of Guimaraes and his colleagues. However, they have reversed their stance on this occasion, awarding Guimaraes the highest rating of any starting player with a score of 8/10.
In addition to assisting Lucas Paqueta and playing a critical role in Guimaraes’ goal, substitute Luiz Henrique scored 8/10 after coming off the bench.
“A textbook performance for a dynamic midfielder with a strong presence in the final third and a strong presence in the defensive midfield,” GloboEsporte wrote in commenting on Guimaraes’ performance.
“In contrast to his second-half performance, he appeared subdued despite having a strong first half.” He scored, set up teammates, constructed plays, and tackled. He was the team’s driving force, establishing Martinelli in an exceptional position to finish on two occasions, collaborating with Luiz Henrique for the third.
After a challenging summer, the Brazilian has exemplified his passion and dedication to Newcastle by setting an example.
Head coach Eddie Howe cited Guimaraes as an exemplary illustration of the qualities he seeks in his players when the desire of a specific player to play for Newcastle was questioned last month.
Howe stated, “I am of the opinion that it is impossible to accomplish anything with a squad that is not fully united and possesses a positive attitude, is eager to achieve, and is eager to represent the club.” “Bruno is always on my mind.” Bruno was eager to arrive. He was eager to don the black and white shirt.
“He was inspirational in his early performances as he transitioned into the football club after waiting to be included in the team.” “And he has consistently maintained his status as an inspirational figure”.
