Prior to Vasco’s 6-0 defeat over Santos, both teams had similar performances and results in Brasileirão. A set of various technical and imponderable details determined the score. There is no reliable forecast on what the behavior of both teams will be like by the end of the championship. Everything is uncertain.
Just as we do not understand the reasons for Inter’s fall this year compared to the previous one, we do not understand well what is the reason for Palmeiras to win even when it plays badly, as in the 1-0 win over Botafogo. Would it be the mental force?
On Wednesday (20), at home, against Flamengo, for Libertadores, with the disadvantage of a goal, I imagine that Inter will use the strategy to press from the beginning to regain the ball near the opponent goal and not to let Jorginho and the two defenders start the offensive moves with great passes, as usual.
Ancelotti should go to the stadium to watch the game, as Leo Ortiz and left back Alex Sandro should probably be called. Many ask for the summons of Inter Alan Patrick because it is a good centralized offensive sock, such as the Uruguayan Arrascaeta, from Flamengo, and Mateus Pereira, from Cruzeiro.
The good players of this position are important but excessively valued in Brazil. In Europe, increasingly, they have been replaced by midfielders who act from one intermediate to another: they mark, build and attack. At Barcelona, Raphinha is an attacker on the left, who frequently travels to the center, where she defines the plays. Acting this way, Neymar, in the Catalan team, had the best moment of his career.
There is also in Brazil a dependence on the center -forward classics, great finishers, ups and good in airplays. In the 6-0 win over Santos, Vasco realized that there is another great option, without the presence of the top scorer. Of course, the classics and great center -uprs are important, such as Lewandowski, Haaland and others. The world’s most complete center forward is Kane, who scores many goals, moves throughout the attack and gives excellent passes. In Brazil, it would be called false 9. It is the real 9.
Great teams should have different ways to play according to the moment and the opponent. After a 1-1 cruise draw with Mirassol, expected result, I realized that between fans and commentators there was a silent, silent criticism of coach Leo Jardim because he did not put Gabigol during the second half. This criticism has more to do with the striker’s brilliant past than with his performances the times he was cast by the Cruzeiro coach.
Leo Jardim is convinced that he does not often put Gabigol because Matheus Pereira and Kaio Jorge are very well, in close, and for not collectively liked the team in the few moments when the three played together. Theoretically, Matheus Pereira could be an option as half-right, moving to the center to arm the plays with his left foot, as did Gerson very well in Flamengo.
Cruzeiro continues between the top four, as the coach wants. But if the team loses positions, the silent criticism will become noisy.
