The Brazilian team is five -time world champion even with some CBF presidents processed or punished for corruption and other crimes. The entity, for having a lot of money, gave the material conditions, and the technical committees and the players planned and performed logistics and technical and tactical performances.
On the other hand, several promiscuous CBF leaders, federations and clubs were very bad for Brazilian football, on and off the pitch. Calendars, lawns and arbitration are terrible and many clubs have major financial and moral problems.
CBF’s new and unknown president announced, Samir Xaud, is the president -elect of the Roraima Federation, as his father’s successor, ahead of the entity for 45 years. Weird! I didn’t understand the reason for being chosen as new president of the CBF.
Meanwhile, the ball rolls in Brasileirão, the South American Cup, Libertadores and the Brazilian Cup. It’s too much game.
In the Brasileirão, with the exception of Palmeiras, which wins at home and outside, there are very few victories of visiting teams, much less than in previous years. Previously, the home teams, stimulated by the fans, went to the attack anyway. Now they plan and train pressure marking to try to stifle the other team. Cruzeiro, once again, did it with great efficiency. It was better than Atletico, but created few chances of goals, in a 0-0 draw.
The Rooster could not go out with the ball, exchanging passes, because of the pressure of the cruise and because it does not prioritize the midfield or have good individual quality there. As is often, Atletico abused the kicks and long balls from the defense to the attack.
Palmeiras, besides being the only Brazilian team with two technical level players similar to almost every position, alternates the strategies according to the moment and the opponent, knows how to save two to three different players with each match, without losing quality, and still makes each game as the last, the decisive.
The Cruzeiro x Atlético, Flamengo x Botafogo and Corinthians x Santos regional classics had very little shine. The best was Bahia x Vitória, with 2-1 win from Bahia. Flamengo, even with the dominance of the ball and the game, continues to create few chances of goals, even when they have all the holders. The team is very repetitive when it goes from midfield, with very fixed players, in the traditional scheme with two in line steering wheels, a binding sock, two ends and a center forward. The team’s forte is from the middle back.
Is Neymar, seeing Santos in the relegation zone, is discouraged because they promised him that the team would fight for titles? Is the club sorry for the huge investment, since Neymar, unrestrained, doesn’t play? Carlo Ancelotti is keeping an eye on his possible return to the team.
Brazilian football looks like a new rich: unstable, irresponsible, full of money from betting houses. Many clubs spend what they can’t. An individualism is seen on and off the field. There is a lot of individual and poorly collective game, many quick dribble players and few talent midfielders, organizers.
Individualism in the field is a reflection of society.
