Brazil's Dani Alves celebrates holds aloft the Copa America trophy, on July 8, 2019. — Reuters: As Brazil geared up for the Copa America last month, a Neymar-induced pall of doom and gloom threatened to scupper the host nation’s chances before a ball had even been kicked.
Yet as this year’s Copa campaign unfolded, Brazil demonstrated that it might have finally cast off the longstanding criticisms of “Neymar-dependency”. What’s more, Brazil had proved in finishing with the tournament’s best attack, best defence, top player in Alves, top scorer in Everton and top goalkeeper in Alisson – a clean sweep of every award going – that they could thrive without Neymar.“It was difficult without Neymar because he’s very talented and also brings a lot to the collective,“ said Alisson.“Sometimes he gets all the attention and we’re a bit left out ... but he’s much loved.
Alves led by example and was named player of the tournament, while his skill and trickery in starting the move that led to the first goal in Brazil’s 2-0 semi-final victory over Argentina was sublime.
