Part 4/6:
While there were certain metrics suggesting a solid performance, there was a consensus that Santos had struggled to capitalize on Neymar’s presence effectively. Toward the latter part of the game, some analysts argued that the team improved after his substitution due to factors such as fatigue from the opposing team's defense.
The conversation shifted to how Santos appeared to rely heavily on Neymar during the match, potentially stifling the overall team dynamic. Analysts called for a balanced approach where Neymar’s presence would not overshadow the contribution of other players on the pitch.
