When he took over Cruzeiro a little over a month ago, coach Luiz Felipe Scolari surprised some fans by stating that the main objective was to avoid relegation to Serie C of the Brazilian Championship. Time proved he was right and the draw at home with Figueirense, this Friday, is further proof of this.

The celestial team continues to make basic mistakes and evolves little. There are clear defensive and offensive needs and the coach will have to turn around so that the team is minimally competitive with what it has, since he admitted that he does not expect to hire reinforcements until next year.

The problem is that after 10 days of free work, little progress was made. Nobody doubts the quality of the gacho, but there is no way to make an omelette without eggs, as the saying goes.

The coach received important reinforcements, such as Rafael Sbis, whose reappearance was discreet. There will also be the return of athletes who may be important to the experience, so valued by Felipo, such as defender Leo and midfielder Henrique.

But they also show that they are precisely in the spirit of series B. A competition in which the worst can often make the best spirit fight.

Perhaps the main challenge for Raposa is understanding the environment in which it operates. In which shirt success is not guaranteed.
