I asked a Cruzeirense if he had liked the team after training 30 days in a 1-1 draw against Bragantino. He replied, “All in the same.”
I thought it improved a little. Gabigol, next to the center forward Kaio Jorge, got freer and better. If the scalar coach Matheus Pereira, who did not play because of the birth of his son, would Gabigol return to the position of center forward?
The coach Leonardo Jardim, to reduce the exaggerated expectation of the fans, said that Cruzeiro is below the main Brazilian teams, with which I agree.
Another news in the team was the midfielder Wallace, who was hired as a great reinforcement and was in reserve after making very discreet matches. He remains the same. It is a tall, strong, slow steering wheel that disarms, gives the easiest pass and does not advance.
Football has changed. The good steering wheels are those who have a lot of mobility, that mark, have good pass and come ahead when the chances arise.
I remembered Rodrigo, the best steering wheel in the world, who has been without playing for a long time because of bruise and who misses Manchester City and the Spain national team. Rodrigo is the link between the defense and the attack. Commands the game and the team.
Days ago, I saw another star of the position, Kimmich, playing with great splendor on the right side of Germany. He has alternated the two positions at Bayern Munich and the selection. Play too much on both. If Germany had two Kimmich, it would be a great thing. In Germany’s three goals against Italy, Kimmich had a decisive participation.
Spain x France and Germany x Portugal will be the semifinals of the League of Nations. The four teams and more England are the candidates for the title of the next World Cup, along with Brazil and Argentina. Other European teams, such as Italy, the Netherlands, and Croatia, are difficult for the best selections in the world.
There is a tendency for technical approach between the main selections of Europe and South America. Between clubs is different, with great European superiority, as the big teams hire the best players in South America and the world.
Spain, champion of Europe and the League of Nations, has the best midfield in the world, especially when you have Rodrigo back. It has, moreover, two exceptional tips, especially Lamine Yamal, with only 17 years. Lack of Spain, such as Brazil, a special center forward.
There is a worldwide trend of having more offensive teams, who advance with many players and make many goals. The game becomes more enjoyable and exciting. On the other hand, the defenses have conceded more goals, which generates more concern.
The soccer game has much more uncertainties and mysteries than you know and imagine our pretentious wisdom.
Decision
Palmeiras x Corinthians decides Paulistão on the 27th, two days after the 14th round of the South American qualifiers, in which several players will be present in the two Brazilian teams. It is the absurd calendar.
Just as Corinthians won the first game in the Palmeiras field, it will not be surprised if Palmeiras is champion. There is no favorite.
