Base categories were created to reveal players and not necessarily to be champions of the tournaments they compete in.
That doesn’t mean the cups should be ignored, and the Copinha is the most visible in Brazil, not the most important, because it serves to alleviate the withdrawal syndrome caused by professionals’ vacations.
Corinthians and São Paulo played only in front of tricolor fans, because, in Pauliceia, the authorities are still unable to guarantee security for two fans on the same stage, in this case, the delayed and still reduced Pacaembu, because the poorly made concessions of what was public never comply what was promised.
With a better campaign — seven wins and a draw against six wins, a draw and a defeat —, the Morumbi club had the advantage of a single fan base against those from Parque São Jorge, champions last year.
In the ten finals played by Corinthians at what was then called the “municipal stadium”, Timãozinho had won seven.
The third Majestosinho to decide the 55th Cup also served as a foil, as in 1993 it gave São Paulo, 4-3, its first title, and in 2004 it gave Corinthians, 2-0, its fifth cup.
Alvinegros in search of the duodecachampionship in its 20th decision; tricolores behind penta, in the 12th final.
Ryan Francisco, Copinha’s top scorer, suspended, was the big absence among the Cotia boys.
No matter how high the expectations were, it was known in advance that it could not be the same as the 4-3 of 1993, when Jamelli stood out by scoring three goals and Rogério Ceni failed in the 3-3 when the rival played with ten.
Marques appeared among the boys at Terrão and ended up an idol at Galo.
Jamelli was successful at Santos and even played for the national team, as well as having a career in Japan and Spain.
In the biggest of Copinha’s decisions, the person commenting on TV Cultura was José Trajano who, next Friday (31), will autograph, at Retrôgol, in São Paulo, his fifth book, “1960, when the stars turned red”, delicious tour through Brazil during its golden and hopeful years — with América’s conquest of the Campeonato Carioca as a guiding thread, Zé Trajano’s América.
Then, when alluding to Ceni’s good performance until conceding the third goal, Trajano predicted that the goalkeeper would go far, as would another, from Vitória, called Dida. On the fly!
All supported by the opinion of Valdir de Moraes, legendary Palmeiras goalkeeper and the Brazilian team’s first goalkeeper coach.
Among the members of the two current São Paulo squads, keep an eye on the rare reader and the rare reader on the aforementioned Ryan, capable of leading São Paulo to the decision, turning around Criciúma, with two digs followed by penalty kicks in the throes of the game, and in the Corinthian left-back Denner, who scores and attacks and scores goals like big people, the first in the decision, in fact.
If it wasn’t the same as the 4 to 3, the 3 to 2 of the tricolor turnaround was close, with two goals from Paulinho to satisfy Ryan’s longing, and with the difference that in that victory São Paulo was always ahead and in this one they lost by 2-0, which, let’s face it, gives a special flavor to São Paulo’s new turnaround.
Majestosinho resolved, all that remains is Majestos this Sunday night.
