Why Hulk Is Under Most Pressure for Brazil Following Win with Cameroon

Much focus of late has been on the continued selection of Paulinho in the Brazil midfield and, indeed, the Spurs man's rotten form continued on Monday night as he was dragged off at half-time for eventual goalscorer Fernandinho.

That debate, based on the evidence of recent weeks, should no longer be an issue. It is clear for all to see that a change must be made and Fernandinho's arrival changed the flow of the encounter with Cameroon. His place in the side to face Chile would seem a foregone conclusion.

Unfortunately for Luiz Felipe Scolari, his selection dilemmas run deeper than just one midfield berth. While Fred grabbed himself a goal to stem the tide of questions over his inclusion, Dani Alves was poor defensively once more in his right-back berth.

Luckily for him, though, Paulinho and the equally lacklustre Hulk have done much to divert attention from what is now a string of lapses in the past few weeks alone.



With Paulinho's World Cup as a starter now likely at an end, calls are growing for Hulk to be axed at the same time. He was at least more involved than his colleague on Monday, the issue being that his involvement tended to see moves come to a grinding holt.

Having missed Brazil's second World Cup fixture against Mexico, Hulk has now been subbed just after the hour mark in both games he has played. Unfortunately for those fans craving more of Willian or Bernard, it would seem that Scolari has taken to using Ramires as his substitute on the right flank.

Quite why is difficult to fathom, other than the Chelsea star's ability to track back and forward endlessly on the flank. Brazil, though, have looked best in recent outings when Willian has been involved and that is the solution many would like to see. Scolari, though, will continue to resist changes.



Pressure on Hulk is growing, though, and the Zenit forward has never been a particular favour...
