細說巴西：教練背叛傳統(tǒng) 9號已經作古
內馬爾因傷缺陣，9號弗雷德成了擺設。
It is as unlikely that Fred will play for Brazil again after Saturday’s third place play-off in Brasilia as it is that Scolari will carry on as coach. The latter notion, in particular, appears unthinkable and the only good that can come for the Selecao from the humiliation against Germany is that it happened in Brazil, in their backyard and the brutal truth was ruthlessly exposed. They are not good enough and they have, under Scolari, betrayed their tradition, their roots, their DNA.
巴西在巴西利亞踢完3、4名比賽之后，弗雷德很可能無法重返巴西國家隊，斯科拉里也可能帥位不保。斯科拉里留任簡直不可想象。他率領的巴西隊被德國徹底羞辱，而且是在巴西，在自家后院粗野、無情地讓真相大白于天下：巴西隊不夠好，而且在斯科拉里的領導下背棄了自己的傳統(tǒng)，自己的根基，自己的DNA.
Fred is not to blame, but his limitations have been highlighted as he has struggled for form and fitness following his heroics in last year’s unlikely Confederations Cup triumph.
矛頭不應該指向弗雷德。在去年聯(lián)合會杯的勝利中，弗雷德表現(xiàn)優(yōu)異，但今年他的身體狀況一直不盡人意，也集中體現(xiàn)了巴西的局限。
His role for Scolari was simply to act as the presence up front to try to get the best out of Neymar. It was a basic approach and one that was then exposed with Neymar’s injury. Instead of being brave and changing his tactics Scolari at first appeared set to revert to type by beefing up his midfield, but then lost his nerve and decided to attack Germany.
按照斯科拉里的安排，弗雷德只需要出現(xiàn)在前場，給內馬爾做球，給他提供最大的發(fā)揮空間。在內馬爾受傷之后，這套基本戰(zhàn)術的弱點被徹底暴露出來。斯科拉里沒有勇氣變陣，只是加強了中場，后來失去理智，決定和德國對攻。
That was Scolari’s fault and not Fred’s, but unfortunately for the striker he ended up symbolising the stupidity of it.
要怪就怪斯科拉里，別怪弗雷德，然而不幸的是，弗雷德已經成為了巴西隊愚蠢的代言人。
