Top 6 Overhyped Brazilians

Some of the greatest players we have ever witnessed have hailed from Brazil.
It is no surprise then that the majority of european clubs have their scouts scouring the country in hopes of unearthing the next Pele, Roberto Carlos, Ronaldo, Kaka or Neymar.
But for every Vinicius Junior or Gabriel Martineli that is discovered, there are countless others who fail to live up their hype, and struggle to make a mark in Europe. The reasons for this are obviously varied and complex, and in this video I will name the six players who I believe are the most overhyped to come out of Brazil in recent times and try to answer why their careers didn't match the early buzz surrounding them.

Neymar by far most overrated scrub ever.

[@tanjimulislamrifat]

​ Neymar is the most underrated brazilian player in football history. I will logically prove it. When Brazil was wrost ranking (22) of their history, Neymar carried Brazil team. Even Neymar lead a Trophy by winning vs all Champion team. In 2014 world cup, Neymar took average Brazil team in semi final. Without Neymar, Brazil lost vs Germany 7-1. In 2015 copa America, Neymar doesn’t play vs Paraguay and Brazil lost Again. In 2016,Neymar took first Olympic gold medal in Brazilian football history. On the other hand, Neymar didn’t play copa America and Brazil was out from group stage. Where absence of Neymar, Brazil was number 7 in world cup qualifier point table. After come back of Neymar, Brazil reaches world cup as a first team of latin america. In 2018 world cup, his performance was too much underrated. He played 5 matches and contributed 4 goals where he had most key passes, most on target shots, most shots, third most rating, third most dribble complete. On the other hand, he created most chances vs Belgium. In 21 copa America, he was selected best player of the tournament alongside Messi. In 2022 world cup, he also scored a goal vs Croatia and Fred, cesa creat a mistake and Brazil conceded a goal.

Ganso was a genius who was unfortunately ruined by his ACL injury; Jô was truly a mediocre player, and I say that being a Corinthians supporter, where he was national champion and top scorer several times, so overhyped indeed; Keirrison’s downfall is just crazy to me to this day, I never seen someone fall so fast; Robinho also had a great career (I think his peak was for the Seleção), but also very reckless and never lived up to his true potential, but would call overhyped at all; Denilson was kinda overhyped but still a REALLY strong winger, and injuries + a bad representative also made it way harder for him to live up to his hype, which ultimately he never did.. even so he’s widely loved all around Brasil and cherished for our 2002 WC run

[@cholamais-cj1wh]

Damião was never a real contender to be a star in Europe. I belive he didn't started to play professionally very late in his life. For me this is the perfect list of players that when young were supposed to be massive stars in Europe. Robinho in first is the best example, he was supposed to be the "new Pelé" and was only an average player at best in all the leagues that he played.

[@nhj19999]

Ganso's problem were his injuries and the modernization of football. There is no room for a classic 10 that takes more than a few seconds to plan the game nowadays, he refused to adapt too, whether because of his knees or just being stubborn. And the craziest thing is that he won Copa Libertadores again, with Fluminense, age 33, playing almost as a defensive midfielder

[@MonstrodaLagoaNegra]

Maybe Jô was overhyped in Europe, but never in Brazil. Everybody here knew he wasn't a legend like Romario, Ronaldo or Rivaldo, but neither a buster he was. He was just a normal player who scored some important goals playing in two gigantics like Atlético Mineiro and Corinthians

[@michaelh878]

He probably would have smashed it in the championship. Would have been worth 20 mil to get someone to the premier league.

[@jonpirovsky]

Ganso is an interesting example. At the beginning if his career, he was actually quite good. But his early injuries just took away whatever athletic conditioning he had. His time at Sevilla was unsuccessful not because he "couldn't operate in high pressing european football" - 'cause he really could produce some magic while he had the ball on his feet - but mostly because his work rate without the ball has always been low and got ever lower after the injuries. At Fluminense nowadays he is seen as a defensive liability with the ability to produce occasional magic...

[@cholamais-cj1wh]

Nah, he couldn't produce anything. Dude was in first place for ball loses on Sevilla's side. He's so slow.

Denilson picked up more than 60 caps for Brazil over a 7 year spell.

Ganso was born into the wrong century. Often a pleasure to watch him play but he lacks what it takes for top modern football.

[@recruitmentch]

Robinho ahhh! When Robinho was at Milan, I was errr lucky enough to pretty much see all of the matches he played in live. He was certainly not overhyped. The issue with Robinho was that I just don't think he cared all that much. During the season when Milan won serie an and Robinho scored 14, trust me when I say that he should've scored at least double that amount. He would squander so many easy chances. Game after game, he would get into good positions only to try a tame shot, or in most cases miss the goal completely. When he came onto the scene in Brazil, he looked like Neymar but even more skilful. He seemed to have that turn of pace and acceleration, but that somehow quickly disappeared when at Real Madrid. At Milan he was still a very good player, but I think his lifestyle is what caused his quick decline. I just don't think he was focussed, driven or intense enough to be what he could've become. But I wouldn't call him overhyped.

[@KumonoIseki]

Ganso is the biggest fallacy of how tactical adaptability is a consequence of a coach and not the player's fault. He was a awesome playmaker at Sevilla, but his reputation was tarnished by the weak, limited and stubborn Jorge Sampaoli who knew more about asking for reinforcements than producing for the squad. He was one of the players who produced the most passes to goal during his stay, scored 7 goals and 6 assists in 28 games and had many important characteristics, due to his intelligence and quick reading of the game, even with physical problems, he was able to maintain an active posture with the ball and escape from many defensive duels

I can agree with Kerlon, Jô and Keirrison. They were insufficient to European football. Kerlon was insufficient even to Brazilian football.

But Ganso, Robinho and Denilson were very good players, much better than most of European players, who are indeed overhyped. Bring commom european players to Brazil, they would not even touch the ball. The skill level in Brazil is higher. Denilson and Robinho did well in Europe, while Ganso carrer was ruined by his ACL injury, and also he can't perform in fast-paced leagues.

12:40 point of correction, Ganso was not overhyped, he was only a victim of the massive shift in football to be more pressing and highly intense meaning his athletism let him down. Even Kaka would have suffered now to get game time because he wasn't the type to do a Odegaard or De Bruyne roles, the modern no.10. The way he plays would have worked if he lived during Kakas era

[@cellyszn20]

@user-ir1wz4gl8x please bro, Ganso is no different from Riquelme, he was also regarded as not athletic. The point I was making was, like Riquelme and Kaka, physicality was not an issue back then. You cannot tell me that Ganso was not a great playmaker because he is flourishing in that role at Fluminense and it is no different to how Kaka and Riquelme played in their time. Bottom line is, the game has changed a lot. If I mentioned Ozil, you would have equally tried to cope despite everyone knowing Ozil didn't have much physicality to his game. If you want to talk about adaptability which I feel Ganso may have found it hard to do, then I may somewhat get your point but that's not my argument nor point.

Not sure I agree with the list (Jo had a good career whichever way you cut it, and don't think he was ever that hyped up) but still I really enjoyed the video, very well researched. I did think I'd see Pato on the list somewhere. In many ways I think Neymar should be on the list. I mean, leaving a club like Barca and La Liga, for guaranteed championships with PSG in a second rate league, was indicative of what has been proven by Neymar's Saudi move; motivated by money not glory, concerned with status and celebrity, not legacy. Really never achieved what he could and perhaps have done. Would love to see a video on overhyped Argentines and overhyped English - plenty of candidates for the later 😂

I’ve been watching football for 25 years, and I can swear Denilson was the most overhyped player ever. His playing style was meaningless. How the hell him and Rivaldo, Romario played in two World Cups 🫥

[@uromi-owuopukeme6081]

The guy who did this video cant tell the difference between legends that were hindered by injury and over hyped players who were never good enough from day 1.

[@ernestogasulla7763]

Funny the narrator places Gabriel Martinelli among the successful, not overhyped Brazilians. I can't agree with him.

[@patinho5589]

I disagree that Kerlon was humiliating anyone .. if he could legitimately go through a crowded defence (except for fouling) then he discovered an unbeatable move.. and he should do it and should be protected by the referee. Then FIFA should change the rules to not allow more than 4 headers in a row like that.. end of.

[@bens4602]

HITC said Ganso played in the wrong era. Had he played in the 80s, when luxury #10s were the standard, he’d have been every bit as good as they said.

[@pare5markes909]

After WC 86 when they killed the beautiful game 80% of all Brazilian players are overhyped and after 2010 all of them!

[@garrygalloway5043]

Next Rivaldo? Denilson's game is nothing like Rivaldo. Rivaldo didn't have that type of dribbling skill

[@cmukupo1606]

Pre injuries Ganso, Owen, Ronaldo, Hargreaves, Anderson, Falcao where all a marvel injuries ruin players

[@kjdsh10]

Oscar and Lucas Piazon Anderson and the Twins that played for Man U could’ve made this a Top 10

[@bryanmorrison2396]

Robhino cldve been nearly as gd as Ron R9 neymar etc was Amazing in Europe gr8 first season at city boooom ruined now a rapist

[@samuelfox9532]

Excellent channel. Subbed.

[@godsgod1677]

Kerlon and Pato weren't overhyped. They were more injured out of the game due to their talents.

[@Vitor_Han]

Ganso is a good midfielder He was supposed to be better than Neymar. but the injuries got in his way

[@soccerhub2543]

If you called Ganso overhyped, then you need to go look up the meaning of that word again. 😠 😡

[@BasileosAlexios]

"Neymar was streets ahead of Ganso" I see a fellow Community fan here, a man of culture.

[@benjamimribeiro6646]

ganso problem wasn’t about level, but characteristics.

[@walterpasquinha9992]

I don’t agree on Robinho incorrect. Personal opinion obviously

[@bryanmorrison2396]

COYG.. Our denilson a thought was gonna be world class how wrong lol

[@thalleshenrique16]

Ganso means goose in Portuguese... You guys can say goose... Haahahah

[@TheMoeht91]

All the Brazilian players are over hyped until they prove otherwise

[@maropengrampyapedi938]

Wouldn't controversial to have ronaldinho and neymar on the list

[@Bigdawg-ys9ij]

Add vini Jr and Rodrygo. Overhyped and overrated.

[@samuraininjarockstar9355]

Seal dribble , ok if you want a job in the circus ….

[@whodoyouratemore]

Jo was one of the worst Brazilian players I've seen

[@TJSaw]

Denilson, Kleberson, Hulk are my top 3.

[@03kehita]

robinho doesnt belong on this list he was a top player

[@LuizPretti-ns4oe]

Let’s hope Endrick never goes on this list

[@RobSyerGaming]

A truly phenomenal 3 goals and 3 assists 😂😂

[@arturkubiczek7846]

I don't get that thing with Denilson. Give me a guy that can get an asist every Mother game and I won't demand goals from him.

[@flashbackfootball1367]

Denilson didnt really assist or score, at least not at Betis

[@GabaMart9598]

Ganso is not overhyped. He js phisically shit and a Libertadores winner. Football is not only played in Europe

[@shugmchugh5107]

Massively over hyped

[@Flamengonengue]

Jo was better than 90% of the British strikers

[@ALargeFarva]

Denilson? i think you mean Antony

[@pereiraplaza222]

Pato

[@Lyralikesit]

Martinelli is extremely overhyped

[@Spacely619]

Jo never played in Saudi!! Be better at researching before posting, other than that good video 👍🏼

[@flashbackfootball1367]

He played one game for Al-Jabalain mate. But I think I meant to say UAE at that point in the video

[@mfalme-oy3kq]

Add the stupid Vinicius Junior in this list

[@ChimpingBulldog]

Adriano shouldve featured.
