"Scolari is bringing back 3 psychologists to help Thiago Silva"
There was a passionnate debate right after the penalties between brazil and Chile: Is that WC too much for TS? Crying when entering the field. Crying during the national anthem. Very stressed on the field during the matches. On his knees praying in the middle of the field during the penalties. The captain of the Selecao is passionately living this WC. Maybe a bit too much...
In front of so much emotions,
Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari brought 3 psychologists in early may before the WC: Regina Brandao, Aline Magnani et Gisele Silva.
Their task was to provide a psychological profile of each players and to help them relieve their stress and the immense pressure they are enduring. Fact is, it might have not been enough...
According to O'Globo, Scolari asked to the 3 psychologists to come back as soon as they can to Granja Comary, Brazil training ground. Their goal is to mentally help the team in the last line of the WC. If some behaviors are upsetting like Neymar or Gustavo,
that's the captain' case that is the most worrying.
TS actually agreed after the match against Chile that "maybe he's overdoing it a bit, but without degrading his performance on the field"
TS lacks serenity and is cogitating a bit too much. The psychologists' task is to do everything they can so that TS will be ready on Friday for the upcoming match against Columbia.
