Answering, initially, the question of the previous title: yes! It’s possible. Mathematically, Cruzeiro can still reach the G-4 and return to Serie A. The victory over leader Chapecoense, who had not lost in 19 games, was a push to feed the dream, which was asleep. But, even if it can be done, it is a difficult mission to achieve a heroic turn that has never been seen before.

Based on mathematical projections, he would need 11 or 12 more wins in 15 games to play. A utilization of 80%. An almost impossible mission. Almost. If you continue to use Felipão, more than 71%, it will be possible to approach the G-4 and look for a pique final.

Cruzeiro’s strength is reinforced because the team has managed to score nine consecutive rounds in Serie B and also because he sees Cuiabá, for example, falling in performance at the top of the table.

Still, the challenge is enormous. If successful, he will write one of the greatest heroic and immortal pages in the club. But, while you can’t get rid of the dream, you need to keep an eye on the bottom. He started eight points, but Náutico (first in Z-4) has one game less.

You have to keep WINNING to see the dream of accessing more and more possible and the nightmare of the C Series more distant. And one of the main responsible for this will be Luiz Felipe Scolari.

The coach, even with great difficulties, has been ordering the team little by little, despite the ups and downs against Guaraní and Figueirense, which made them believe in a setback in evolution. Against Chapecoense, Cruzeiro showed maturity in the face of the changes proposed by the coach and a lot of tactical cohesion.

Raposa closed the Chapecoense spaces, mainly in the midfield, he played with closer lines, which made it difficult for the rival. Acting without a fixed player in attack helped the team’s mobility and increased the difficulties imposed on Chape’s defense. Highlights for Ramón (very confident in defense), Adriano (again with a good and safe performance) and Rafael Sobis (called responsibility and tried to decide the game, being awarded in the second half).

Cruzeiro had a new face in Chapecó and adapted to the changes. Take on Confiança, a team that is in 10th position with 32 points (four more than Cruzeiro). Winning is essential to closing the gap to the G-10, moving away from the fight against relegation and keeping the flame of the access dream burning.
