Radamel Falcao produces terrible shot against Brazil
Posted Saturday, June 20, 2015 by Givemesport.com
Future Chelsea striker Radamel Falcao followed up his dismal performance against Venezuela with an equally disappointing performance against Brazil on Wednesday night.
The Colombia international, 29, received a humiliating 2/10 rating from Spanish newspaper Marca for his horror show last weekend - but last night's display was only marginally better.
Falcao started the match, to the surprise of some Colombian supporters, but lasted just 69 minutes before he was subbed off for Víctor Ibarbo. The striker's most embarrassing moment came in the first half, when he produced a horrendous shot from 25 yards which cleared the barrier that separates the crowd from the pitch.
It summed up Falcao's performance, his Copa America so far and, indeed, his career since suffering that serious knee injury in January 2014.
Three years ago Falcao was widely regarded as one of the best - if not the best - number nine in world football. But he showed during his ill-fated season-long loan with Manchester United last season that he is worryingly short of form, fitness and confidence.
