Brazilian legend Romário, in his column, commented on the current Brazilian team. He believes that despite the changes in players called up by Ancelotti, Brazil is still playing the same boring and uncreative football as at the World Cup. He also mentioned Messi's farewell match for the national team.

Romário stated that after the World Cup disaster, Brazil went through another international break that yielded no results. Those matches were meaningless and entirely unnecessary, against weak opponents with no traditional prestige. Playing against teams like India and Australia, on the other side of the world—what could we possibly gain from that?

As for this team, what they showed was no different from what we saw at the World Cup. Worse, it's the same old problems: lack of creativity, a disorganized midfield, and total dependence on wingers. The football is boring, soulless, and does not resemble us. Brazil's performance this time deserves, at best, a rating of 5 out of 10. What's more concerning is that European teams are playing at a high level.

The UEFA Nations League has many exciting matches, with well-organized teams and several players in explosive form. Olise delivered brilliantly for France, Gabriel Jesus helped Portugal sharpen their attack, and even Italy, which didn't even qualify for the World Cup, played very well. If this continues, it will be difficult to win the World Cup in the future. I have no personal problem with the coach (Ancelotti). But he has been with the national team for a year and a half, and the team has still not improved, shown no progress, and lacks balance. His contract should not have been renewed. He made many mistakes at the World Cup, and now he's repeating the same old errors from that tournament. We brought in a foreign coach, yet he refuses to play with the soul of Brazilian football—that's unforgivable.

When discussing Messi's farewell match for the national team, Brazilian football icon Romário recalled his own farewell from the Brazilian national team and spoke about the comparison between Messi and Pelé.

Messi scored in his farewell match for the Argentine national team, taking an emotional leave. More than 80,000 fans in the stadium cheered in unison, and a giant No. 10 jersey with "Thank You" written on it was displayed in the stands. This emotional match was dubbed "The Last Tango."

Romário stated that he also experienced a similar emotional moment. He played over 70 times for the Brazilian national team, scoring 55 goals. In 2005, in Brazil's 3-0 victory over Guatemala, he scored his last international goal. After scoring, Romário lifted his shirt to reveal a message that read, "I have a little daughter with Down syndrome, she is a precious little girl," introducing his daughter Ivy, who was one month old at the time, to the world.

Regarding whether Messi could surpass Pelé, Romário gave a negative answer. He said, "Messi is a monster, but he cannot be compared to Pelé. In terms of technique, speed, and efficiency, no one will ever reach Pelé's level. I have great respect for Messi; he is one of the greatest players in history, but 50 years ago, Pelé was already playing football that was far ahead of its time."
