Everything was heading towards another Sunday with little football and many complaints from the Palmeiras fans. Tying 49 minutes into the second half, Alviverde saw Gabriel Veron come off the bench and make a difference. First, with a header goal seconds after entering the field and, later, with assistance from Willian after being thrown from the left that guaranteed the victory by 2 to 1 against Red Bull Bragantino.
The boy’s individuality was the highlight in one more match in which Palmeiras did not work out. As they celebrate their unbeaten streak, Luxembourg’s defenders seem to turn a blind eye to the low level of performance. Lack of triangulation, lack of passing on the flanks, transition from defense to midfield, rehearsed plays …
In the last third of the match, Vanderlei Luxembourg moved and improved the team. And this is quite obvious: few teams in the country have options like Gabriel Verón, Gustavo Scarpa, Ramires, Bruno Henrique and Willian Bigode on the bench.
Just as Dudu saved Palmeiras in other moments that lacked collective game, now it was up to the boy to be the name of salvation. And it will be nothing new if this is the team’s keynote going forward.
This Sunday, the coach set up a different line-up, giving Wesley a chance with Luiz Adriano, in a midfield without the presence of Bruno Henrique. And again it didn’t work. Not for lack of desire, because the athletes never stopped running even at 30ºC. The impression is that there is a lack of training, a lack of collective thinking, a lack of coordination so that the ball reaches the attack in a position to be shot.
The fact is that the result gives Alviverde more peace of mind for Corinthians on Thursday. The management knows that the football presented by the Luxembourg team is not ideal, but the intention is to give the commander time to react.
