My feelings to the family members of goalkeeper Manga, companion in the 1966 World Cup.
Football is a game of uncertainty. The same strategy, widely praised in victories, is widely criticized in the defeats. With each match, alternate opinions and concepts. In an instant, by technical, tactical, occasional details, such as a serious referee error, the performances and results change.
Over the weekend, Cruzeiro had an incorrectly expelled player at the beginning of the match against Internacional and Palmeiras won Sport 2-1 at the last minute, due to a very bad penalty.
Sao Paulo coach Zubeldía is right to complain about the non-expulsion of defender Lyanco and Carelli’s expulsion in the match against Atletico-MG, but has no reason to give chiliques and have aggressive behavior against the referee.
The Brazilian referees have not yet learned to differentiate the arm that touches the opponent’s head when the player rises to head his arm thrown in the face of the player of the other team. They also did not learn to separate the ball that touches inside the area by chance on the arm’s opponent’s arm when the player takes his hand on the ball.
Bad arbitration, some bad lawns, the horrible calendar, violence and other problems remain without solution in Brazilian football. The CBF, the managers of federations and clubs and investors and professionals working in the sport do nothing to change. Worse, they are allies and only think about profit.
There are several ways to win and lose. In Brazilian football, many still confuse tactical formation with a trio in midfield formed by three midfielders who, alternately, mark, build and attack, with the traditional scheme, with two only markers and one-sided midfielder, solely responsible for the team’s frame.
The Brazilian team does not need a center forward, as it already has three scorers (Vini, Rodrygo and Raphinha). The team needs another great midfielder.
Flamengo, with the laps of Gerson, Arrascaeta and Pedro, is much stronger. Among the coaches who work in the country, Brazilians and foreigners, I prefer young Philip Luís for the coach of the national team, even at the risk of being wrong because he has very little experience. Football is far beyond our pregnant wisdom.
Young coach Scaloni had never directed before being a world champion for Argentina. The German national team has greatly improved with young coach Julian Nagelsmann, 37, younger than Filipe Luís, who has 39. The European Champion Spain is led by non -young coach Luis de La Fuente, but who has taken over with huge success, after driving for a long time the basic categories of Spain.
Over the weekend, Manchester City and Manchester United, one of England’s great classics, played a very bad match in the 0x0 draw. City repeated the bad performances of the season and United has played very badly again, as it did a long time ago. Even considering the changes in the City team, there are many doubts about the reasons for the intense fall of the team, as the strategy has not changed.
Neither Guardiola explains.
