He is Brazil's no nine, he is a striker
He is not an out and out centre forward though. He scores goals and creates goals and, in my view, the team functions better when he plays. You are comparing him with target men and he is obviously not that, nor do we necessarily need that.

I think he was probably trying to say that his play style is much more akin to a supporting striker; not a purebred striker. Yes, he is Brazil’s no.9 but his style isn’t that of a Lewandowski, Håland, etc.

Hope I was able to explain that concisely.
 
Look, call me old fashioned, but the only thing that matters is that a striker scores. Nothing else matters. Good link up play, great pressing, skill, hustle, team ethic etc. Doesn't matter. Only scoring. And he scored, so there can be 0 arguments that he played poorly. 0.
