Without wanting to look at Carlo Ancelotti’s gaze, I can imagine, deduce, what he, present in Maracanã, must have found his four summoned to the Brazilian team who played for Flamengo in a 1-0 win over Venezuela’s very weak Deportivo Táchira by Libertadores. Danilo, fifth summoned, reserve, did not play.
Ancelotti must have liked the two defenders, Leo Ortiz, summoned, and Leo Pereira, author of the goal of Vitória. The two, once again, were great in marking and pass, an important quality. Léo Pereira is certainly in the memory of the technician for evaluation in a future call. The coach did not see the frequent and great advances of the right -back Wesley, which they speak so much. Alex Sandro, which Ancelotti knows well from Juventus, showed his regularity and efficiency. He, without much brightness, plays well and the same way against the strongest and the weaker.
Ancelotti was curious to see Gerson play. He again showed his enormous skill and dribbles to get out of the marking, but, as always, took a fast and forward pass, an important virtue of a player who starts the plays on the field itself. I think Gerson is better as an offensive sock on the side or the center than as a midfielder to act from one intermediate to another.
Not wanting to think of Ancelotti’s thinking, he, present at the stadium, must have enjoyed the center forward Igor Jesus, from Botafogo, in a 1-0 win over the universid of Chile by Libertadores. In addition to anticipating the defenders in the cross balls, such as the goal, he moves a lot and participates in the collective plays. It is another one that is in the memory of Ancelotti.
I hope the Italian Ancelotti will be this Sunday (1st) in Mineirão, at the invitation of his friend Toninho Cerezo, to watch Cruzeiro x Palmeiras, the most important game of the round, between two teams of Italian origin. Palmeiras is a team that earns more outside than at home, and Cruzeiro is even stronger in Mineirão.
Ancelotti knows the midfielder Lucas Silva, who, at the beginning of his career, after major performances, left Cruzeiro for Real Madrid under the command of Anchelotti. He, for not showing qualities to play at one of the largest teams in the world, was loaned and then returned to Cruzeiro, where he spent a great time without prominence. This season, Lucas Silva was reborn with great performances.
Leonardo Jardim has made some changes with each game without decreasing the quality. Cruzeiro has acted without Gabigol or with him in place of Matheus Pereira or with the two more Kaio Jorge. In this formation, Matheus Pereira plays from the right to the center. In the three lineups, the team kept a trio in midfield, marking and supporting three in front.
Football reflects life. In a game, before making decisions, coaches, even those with the highest quality, are bombarded by uncertainties, millions of information and numerous strategic possibilities and lineups. The same happens in life. Before making the choices, we are stimulated by many doubts, varied desires and ethical and moral values.
The best and the special people are the ones who find good solutions. Make it simple what is complex.
