He also said that he will make some changes during training, and will change a player or two if necessary for the next game......

Here's what Santos' coach Muricy Ramalho, who knows Ganso and Neymar very well, had to say about last night:

I watched the game and observed the two players, because I have great admiration for them, as for the Brazilian NT as a whole. There are many reasons, perhaps the lack of chemistry, but I found them both way too shy.

Neymar was too isolated on the left. He doesn't normally do that at Santos. It's something I ask him, to move around a lot so that he is not easily marked. If he stays there, there's always a player left, what makes things harder. He has to come to the center at times too.

He also said that he thinks the players were nervous for the first real match for Brazil, and said that Ganso is physically okay, there is no problem with him.

If he keeps this form he should at least switch Neymar to the right wing to limit his shenanigans and and involve Robinho in more build up play from the left...

Garbage? A bit of an overreaction. I watched the first 45 minutes and Brazil were sexy, played very well, and were unlucky not to score.

Ganso wasn't good? Whatever, it happens. Lavezzi also had a terrible game but i twas his highest ever game with the NT, it's understandable how some players might feel nervous.

Care to elaborate?

I think you guys aren't really giving enough credit to Venezuela's performance.

I'm not a big fan of Cesar Farias's (DT) tactics but he did manage to control part of the game on the second half.

I agree this draw is more about Brazil incompetence to finish than Venezuela's tactics but c'mon, at least praise one of our players. Rincon did great to be honest.

Anderson is a really average midfielder. There are way better midfielders in Brazil than Anderson, eg:Ramires, Ganso, Fernando, Elano, Melo, Sandro. And also on current form Maicon should definitely not start over Dani Alves. Dani Alves is the best RB in the world and Maicon has been just bad this year.

And Sandro is a benchwarmer at Spurs.How is he better? You can't blame Brazil - Page 3 Facepalm

Sandro just joined Tottenham in June from the Brazilian League, you can't expect him to start all games in his first season in another country. And he started some important games for Spurs throughout the campaign, like against Milan where he was probably Man Of The Match in both games.
