on the eve of celebrating a hundred years of foundation, cruise He practically said goodbye to the fight for elite access to the Brazilian by drawing 0-0 with the Cuiab, this Tuesday, in Independência, for the 32nd day of the Srie B. After the game, the coach Luiz Felipe Scolari He again stated that the team’s goal was to avoid relegation from Srie C. 41 points recorded so far do not yet ensure mathematical permanence in the second division.
Felipo also questioned the celestial planning throughout the season, when a cast full of young people promoted from the grassroots categories was assembled. According to him, no team gets the Srie A promotion based solely on the weight of the jersey.
“Srie C doesn’t wear a shirt, she goes with the players. She doesn’t just hang out with guys, she hangs out with players who are a little older and more active. All this is a subject that we have to study for next year, ready.
At the beginning of the year, Cruzeiro competed in the Mineiro Championship with several athletes under the age of 20 among the starters, as there was a dissolution in the group due to the impossibility of keeping wages up to date with the decline of Srie B.
The poor results in the state led to the dismissal of coach Adilson Batista. Enderson Moreira was hired as a substitute during the competition stoppage due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In the middle of the period without a match, the team was sanctioned by FIFA with the loss of 6 points in Serie B. The reason is the debt of more than R $ 5 million with Al-Wahda, of the United Arab Emirates, for the Volante Denlson loan agreement in July 2016.
In addition to the sports injury, the club sank in Srie B under the command of Enderson Moreira and, later, Ney Franco. In addition to this, there was another sanction in FIFA at the beginning of September, this time due to a debt of more than R $ 7 million with Zorya FC of Ukraine, in negotiations involving forward Willian Bigode.
For more than a month and a half, Cruzeiro was unable to sign players. And when he was released in late October, he was unable to accommodate all of Felipo’s requests. The team even improved its performance by scoring 28 points out of 48 (58.33%), but never came close to the G4.
Today, six rounds from the end of Serie B, Raposa can only reach 59 points, a figure that guaranteed access only to Vitria in 2007. Next Friday (8/1), the team will visit the Sampaio Corra , at 9:30 pm, at the Castelo stadium, in So Lus (MA). Then take Oeste (home), Youth (outside), Operrio (home), Nutico (home), and Paran (outside).
Read Felipo’s answer
“I can’t say much about any situation in Cruzeiro if they paid later, if they didn’t pay, if the coaches understood that the shirt wins any game, that putting 12 juniors will qualify (…). All of this was the initial thought, which I will not discuss. I was not here.
What I came to do, and we are going to do it, is to take the Cruzeiro from Srie C. The Cruzeiro had 13 points, it was the 19th and it was eight or nine days in the relegation zone. Ready. It is not. If you earn three or four points, stay at B.
Now this was all set at the beginning of the year and I have no way of discussing what they thought and how they thought. I have to think about the team we face. When we took over, we made the necessary points to get out of Serie C.
Serie C does not go with a shirt, it goes with players. She doesn’t just hang out with guys, she hangs out with players who are a little older and more active. All this is a topic that we have to study for next year, ready.
We continue working in the group to see if we could improve something. It was attempted today with the placement of the midfielder, Giovanni, and the attackers. There was no effect in the final part, in the last third of the field, we could not achieve with quality one or another opportunity that we created.
Now go back to training and make sure you get the necessary points. Then, in addition to what was worked on this year, gather the team for next year. But with a different thought. There can’t be 12 juniors, no way. “
