BRASILIA, Brazil -- The frustration with Brazils soccer team is so great that fans are jeering Neymar and wishing womens star Marta could come to the rescue.While Marta has been thriving with the womens team, Neymar has disappointed at the mens Olympic tournament, where Brazil is facing early elimination in a scenario that once seemed unthinkable in the soccer-obsessed host country.Fans watching Brazil struggle in a 0-0 draw against Iraq on Sunday heckled Neymar by chanting Martas name at the Mane Garrincha Stadium in Brasilia, wishing she help solve the many problems of the mens team.Neymar and his young teammates had already been held to a scoreless draw by South Africa in their opener, leaving Brazil in need of a victory against Denmark in its final Group A match on Wednesday to advance to the quarterfinals and avoid another huge embarrassment two years after the demoralizing 7-1 loss to Germany in the semifinals of the World Cup.Brazils senior team, which used to represent soccer excellence, also endured a disappointing elimination in the group stage of the Copa America Centenario about a month ago.Marta has become a symbol of the Jogo Bonito (The Beautiful Game) that Brazilian fans want to see in soccer.When Brazils womens team enchanted the crowd at the Olympic Stadium in a 5-1 rout of Sweden on Saturday, fans chanted Marta is better than Neymar several times.This comparison we leave to the fans. We all cheer for the mens team and we know that they cheer for us, said Marta, who scored twice in that match to help the womens team easily reach the next round. Neymar is the best player we have right now, he is fantastic.Brazil mens coach Rogerio Micale praised Marta and the womens team but downplayed the Marta chants at the mens game.You cant compare womens football with mens football, but we have to congratulate them, Micale said. They are going through a great moment, playing a great tournament. We have been watching them. They have already advanced and I hope that the mens team can succeed as well in this first stage.Marta has been constantly featured in television sports shows across Brazil, giving many interviews and always showing off her broad smile.Neymar, meanwhile, continues to keep to himself, appearing in rare news conferences organized by the Brazilian soccer confederation. In a recent one, he got into a discussion with a reporter and said that he should be allowed to go out and party as much as he wants to during his time off.After Sundays match, he sped past reporters, head down, leaving the younger players to try to explain the teams disappointing performance to the media. He entered the teams bus and sat by himself, headphones on.Neymar arrived as the top player at the Olympic soccer tournament and as one of the biggest stars of the Rio de Janeiro Games. The Barcelona striker skipped the Copa America to be able to play at the Olympics and try to give Brazil its first soccer gold medal.The 24-year-old Neymar took on the responsibility of trying to restore the nations soccer pride after the recent disappointments, but was criticized by some for spending time on vacation and not arriving for the tournament as prepared as other players.He was far from his best in the first two games, unable to ignite the scoring power of an attack that also has promising stars Gabriel Jesus and Gabigol, touted as some of the best youngsters in Latin American soccer.Neymar is an experienced player, Micale said. He is gaining rhythm as we play. He obviously remains an important player.Brazil is the main favorite to win the Olympic tournament, which is played mostly with under-23 squads and features very few stars. The Olympic gold is the only trophy the five-time World Cup champions havent won in mens soccer.---Tales Azzoni on Twitter: http://twitter.com/tazzoni.
