In the craving and need to save players when there are close matches for Brasileirão, Brazil Cup, Libertadores or South American Cup, several coaches make mistakes in the lineups.
There is no technical reason to put all reserves on the field, as Corinthians and Palmeiras did over the weekend for the Brasileirão – in addition to being a disrespect with the fan, at home or at the stadium, which wants to see good football. The calendar is bad, but that does not justify.
The main teams should dream of winning more than one title; and even the three. Instead of saving everyone, the clubs should have about 15 holders and switch two or three with each game so as not to lose the quality and the set.
This Wednesday, by the Brazilian Cup, Corinthians, away from home, has the advantage of a goal over Palmeiras. There is no favorite. While Corinthians has a tactical scheme and the well -defined holders, Palmeiras, except for some absolute holders (Piquerez, Gustavo Gomes and Weverton), has two almost equal level players in other positions. Abel Ferreira changes the tactical design and lineup according to the moment and the opponent.
Corinthians’ main difficulty is not having players on the sides that mark and attack, as the team usually acts with a line of four defenders, a trio in midfield and a centered sock ahead of the three; besides a duo of strikers in the middle. Palmeiras’ main difficulty is sometimes to fill the midfield little, as it only plays with two in the industry, a more marker steering wheel and another more builder. The offensive midfielder (Maurício or Raphael Veiga) works near the opposing area and does not participate in the marking.
Another decisive classic for the Brazilian Cup is Atletico-MG x Flamengo. Rooster plays at home and has the advantage of a goal. Flamengo has played less than the expectation created. Gerson is missing. The team normally plays with two in line steering wheels, leaving Arrascaeta isolated in the frame of the plays.
Will Atletico-MG, even at home, repeat the efficient strategy used in the victory in Maracanã: to score more behind to counterattack with longer releases on the back of the defenders? On the other hand, if the team is far behind, is pressured and eliminated, Cuca will be much criticized. The danger exists in any strategy.
Cruzeiro, away from home, for the Brazilian Cup, faces the CRB. The first game finished 0 x 0. After two weak matches, when it was criticized, Cruzeiro played a brilliant match in victory, away from home, 2-0 against Botafogo. At these times, Cruzeiro shows the best football of Brazilian teams, with a lot of marking throughout the field, compaction and intense movement.
After six straight wins, the coach Crespo, from São Paulo, is the ball of the time, quite praised, unlike the previous coach, Zubeldía, which was widely criticized. This does not mean that one is exceptional and the other terrible. These are career moments. The two are good.
As much as the decisions of the coaches are, there are other important factors in the performances and results of the teams. Football is not as simple as it seems.
