The week was terrible for Brazilian clubs playing the South American Cup.
In seven games, four draws, two away from home with Grêmio and Cruzeiro, and three losses, all away from home, Atletico Mineiro, Fluminense and Vasco.
Corinthians and Vitória favor losing points in Itaquera and Barradão.
But what is about here concerns the shyness with which our teams often perform when they play as visitors, which Flamengo, once again, demonstrated in the draw with Central Cordoba, Argentina, and Inter, in Colombia, in the defeat against Atletico Nacional, both games for Libertadores.
As always, there are exceptions to the rule.
Palmeiras is an indigestible visitor, there are 19 undefeated games as such, with 16 wins, and São Paulo, in this Libertadores and the previous one, went well away from home, although, in the Brazilian Championship, not so much.
King Pelé said he would like to play with a fans against, to be silent, and who made the adversary incentives fuel to overcome them. Which may explain to be 11 years old without losing to Corinthians from 1957 to 1968.
Studies that demonstrate the advantage of being home.
The crowd in favor, the knowledge of the field, the pressure in arbitration, the comfort of being at home, all leads, in the main European championships, to the percentage between 50 and 60% of wins as a host.
Okay, it makes sense, hence everyone prefer, in the matts, to make the second game at home.
Nothing, however, justifies that Flamengo play in Santiago del Estero as he played, blurring in front of a team of the third Argentine shelf.
Or that Vasco takes 4 to 1 from Venezuelan Puerto Cabello, beard and mustache.
Or that Inter make the first time he made against Colombian Atlético Nacional in Medellin.
When you see America de Cali play in Itaquera without fear of being happy, or the Montevideo national turn over Bahia, at Fonte Nova, there is no way to stop asking why those who visit us are so haughty and we, so shy when we visit them.
Or are we attracted to superb so that when we realize we are losing?
Especially in these times when each big team in Brazil has Hermanos like never before (and they are very welcome, be sure, now that xenophobic voices are beginning to emerge bothered by the “invasion”), it was to be assumed that there were more brave behaviors.
Central Cordoba’s payroll, estimated at R $ 2 million a month, equals two chips, $ 200,000 more than Bruno Henrique’s salary, the gambler. Does it make sense to compete for six points against the modest club and earn only one?
Rare readers, rare readers, the crisis is serious.
Na Champions…
To the despair of José Trajano and Sandro Macedo, PSG went to London, won from Arsenal and received him in Paris to beat him again, because goalkeeper Donnarumma was on Sommer night, the columnist’s Internazionale goalkeeper, stopped Barcelona in Milan.
Three to 3 in Barcelona, 4-3 in Italy and ready, the final that two scribes of this Sheet They wanted to go to the space.
Let’s face it: the duo Gunner deserved less than the culé.
Catalan duo?
Yes! The partner here was none other than Lamine Yamal.
