I agree he hasn't been at his best so far nor has he been hugely impressive.
But then:
-Against Turkey he had (in fact, assumed) a freer role, i.e. since they couldn't break Turkey he kept switching sides and moving positions looking for their soft spots. He wasn't very lucky but, with Brazil lost on the pitch I appreciated seeing someone probing and exploring the options.
-Today the foul for the first goal was on him, the assist to Rivaldo (which looked so simple you didn't notice) was his and he scored from the spot.
-If you actually checked, he kept leaning to the left flank (not meant to be his job) to support Roberto Carlos coming forward instead of standing in the box waiting for him to do the job. Once he was off and Denilson came in Roberto Carlos was non-existent.
Those little details no one notices...
